    I had questions about medication and pros and cons of medication and the doctor became defensive and somewhat combative when I was advocating for myself. I was extremely upset and immediately followed up with my primary care doctor to refer me to another doctor. I would never recommend the doctor I saw to anyone ever!

    Dr. Guy showed me very little (to no) respect from when he first entered the room until he exited the room. I will NOT return due to the manner in which he spoke to me, his impersonal demeanor, his lack of listening to my concerns, and his stance on my interest in alternatives to standard medical treatment (prescribing pills).
