He talked to his nurse about his upcoming vacation during the visit and hardly spoke, looked or cared about the patient.

Really appreciated how super-efficient the staff and team were. As a new patient, the check in process was smooth. I love the convenience of an on-site x-ray team so I didn’t have to make a separate appointment. There was no wasted time. i had the x-ray result in “mychart” almost immediately. I thought it was brilliant to have the x-ray before I saw Dr. Ben. When Dr. Ben came in, he was very straightforward, concise and easy-going. I could tell he valued my time. I would definitely recommend Dr. Ben and his team to my family and friends!

I would certainly recommend Dr Guevara to family & friends because he discussed my X-rays then set up an MRI
& had another discussion w me. He didn’t rush right into surgery he left the decision to me. He had previously operated on my daughter & she was well satisfied w her results so I had no doubt I would b equally satisfied w mine. My husband has regular injections in his knee for an arthritis condition & always gets excellent results. Dr is very personable & easy to talk with including his staff. All very professional.

I don't go to Dr's very often. I'm cut from the put some dirt on it and walk it off cloth, so when I go its bad. The lady in the checkout line at the grocery talked to me more than this guy did. I left with no answers as to what's wrong with me or what I need to do or anything. Wasted my time driving in and left still hurting and still not sure if what is wrong. Will be seeking assistance elsewhere. Maybe I can find somebody that will do more than shake my hand and schedule a follow up.

I was very impressed by Dr. Guevara's professionalism and bedside manner. I would heartily recommend him to anyone looking for a good orhopedic surgeon. Unfortunately, I have been treated by several different orthopedic surgeons, and Dr. Guevara has helped me regain faith in orthopedic surgeons. Thank you for everything Dr. Guevara!

I injured my knee last week and was able to see Dr. Guevara quickly. He was polite, professional, and didn't rush out of the room like most doctors tend to do. He took his time to explain to meet what was wrong with my knee. I will definitely go back to him in the future.

Dr. Guevara did my knee replacement in February 2016 and I could not be more pleased. He has a very impressive background and experience. After the surgery, I was up and walking and within a month I felt completely healed. I would highly Dr. Guevara to anyone that is having knee problems. I just wish I would have had it done sooner.

He is a wonderful surgeon. He repaired my son ACL over a year ago. My son was released to play soccer 5 1/2 months after the total reconstruction. He is stronger then ever on the field. Dr Guevera shared his own personal stories with my devastated son. Today my son has decided he will attend College next year with intentions on becoming an orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine or Physical therapy....

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Guevara?
He was very quick and unfriendly. He didn't acknowledge any of our concerns in the office or hospital. On discharge day he did not come discharge me, a hopitalist did. He never saw my arm where a had a allergic reaction to the tape it was worse than I had ever seen in my 32 years of being a nurse. I will never go back to him for another surgery. I felt abandoned, he didn't seem to care for me at all from the beginning. I went to him because of his experience and knowledge but was dissapointed.
