Christopher Guerin's Online Review Report Card

It took me a week to schedule an appointment for knife stabbing cervical pain. Another week wait to see Dr. Guerin. He had my MRI that showed spondylosis and a perineural cyst where I had the pain. He walked in asked a couple of basic questions, said I did not need surgery, and became disinterested in my pain. He tested my reflexes and did a strength test, told me to schedule with Pain Management and walked out, in less than 8 minutes. Worst doctor interaction in my 88 years as a patient or as a professional physical therapist. A NON-event. From the reviews he seems to show a different face only if surgery is needed.

Went to see Dr Guerin about an MRI I had of my brain. The doctor took his time and explained the findings and provided me with a plan for the future. I would recommend him to anyone needing a good neurosurgeon.

My wife is dealing with a painful spinal leak. Just wanted a plan to get problem rectified. Dr. Guerin met with us immediately after MRI. Asked a series of specific background questions. Provided professional feedback and put into action the same afternoon. Suggested not jumping to surgery but rather stitch the area and monitor over a few days. So far so good for something that was attempted to be corrected by a different Dr. for over a month to no avail! I strongly recommend Dr. Guerin who is very professional and even provided a little humor for us when we really needed it. Thank you Dr. Guerin!!

Dr. Guerin... Thank you for taking care of me in 2014! Without you and your staff, I was guaranteed to not walk in a prior diagnosis. Thank you for making sure I can walk today! A spinal cord injury & 2 crushed disks was horrible to live with...❤️

Got him after an mri while I was in sarasota memorial showed a cervical epidural abscess. Proposed the wrong surgery which I declined causing me to have a delayed procedures by his partner. Ultimately these 2 left me with a growing syrinx and a permanently damaged spinal cord and a life long devastating condition that could have been avoided. If you get him in an emergency ask for another opinion and don't actively choose them.

Unprofessional, rude, cuts you off after asking you a question, asks why you're wasting his time...ER sent me to you, had you read my discharge report. Complete jerk and definitely needs to look into retiring or just NOT interacting with actual human beings. Do not come to this office under any circumstance. He will not listen, nor take the time to assess in any way, shape or form.

Have to say that I've had a much different experience with Dr. Guerin and his practice. I was seen by the ER doc who called him on a Sunday night to come see me. I was in excruciating pain because of my back. After interviewing me and looking at my xrays and scans, he came back and asked me if I was up for surgery tonight or wait until tomorrow and stay the night in the hospital. Said that he was in the hospital and that both the OR and Anesthesia were available. I would have done anything to get out of pain at that point because even the strongest of medications wasn't helping. We opted for surgery and he did a laminectomy and was out of the OR in 2 hours. His follow up was excellent and I was discharged the next day. Both of his follow up visits where great and I particularly liked dealing with Cindy. She's my kind of people.

He may be an excellent surgeon, I don’t know . I do know mine made me worse off physically. I hated office visits . He was often rude and non caring. The only emotion I saw expressed was anger . I asked the same question twice ! I will never step foot in his office again .

Waste of time. Tapped my knees and spoke a few words and my visit was over in 10 minutes. My pain did not concern him.

Dr. Guerin was scheduled to meet with my mother, a brain injury patient, on 4/13/21. She is fully aware but has difficulty speaking quickly and moving well. The appointment apparently was made in error by her facility as she should have seen another doctor who treated her previously. Because he nor his office looked at my mother's records until the time of her appointment, this was unknown to all. Dr. Guerin stormed into the exam room and in a raised voice demanded to know why we were there. He looked at my mother in her wheelchair and in a raised voice demanded: What's her problem, she cant talk? He shined his light in her eyes and said , I'm not meeting with her she's not my patient, go see Dr. __. I'm not gonna charge you though. Dr Guerin was rude, abrupt and disrespectful. He was also entirely unprepared for my mother's exam. I would not subject any patient to his abusive demeanor.
