Es un gran médico y explica las cosas muy bien. Ayuda ap paciente a mejorar dándole muchas explicaciones e indicaciones

05/22/2026

He came in and already had his mind made that he would not treat my sinus infection with antibiotics. Even though, it can lead to death or severe illness if the infection lasts longer that 2 weeks which I was at the 2 weeks mark when I came in. The doctor needs to be retrained, or have an attending physician to supervise him. I would never go to him again. My assigned doctor is amazing (Dr Gioia) but Guitierez is not. He needs training or to be supervised by attending physician.

He is very good doctor and a good man. He really listens and cares very much about every aspect of your health..

03/17/2026

Very caring

03/16/2026

I like (need) to understand what is going in my body. I would like the doctor to better lead me through the process of what is going on in my body and why. For repeat vulnerabilities, this helps me manage my at-home care to avoid or ameliorate what is avoidable or able to be ameliorated. Not everyone wants this but some of us actually need this from our doctor. Share the knowledge.

03/13/2026

Dr Gutierrez makes you feel comfortable enough to talk about things on your mind. He doesn’t rush you

03/12/2026

I don’t feel that he listened to where I was trying to point him for examination. Some of the clinical notes I read after did not reflect our discussion accurately.
