In English y Espanol: Thank you Dr. Guttler, GRACIAS!
Viaje de Florida a California, en busca de una esperanza para el cancer de tiroides que tenia. Encontre mas que eso! Encontre un diagnostico preciso y la orientacion necesaria para tratar mi enfermedad. Actualmente es casi imposible encontrar un medico que trabaje con el paciente. La mayoria de los medicos trabajan con palabras vacias y confusas (mostrando SUS confusiones), atraves de una computadora, y lo principal es con CERO sensibilidad humana.
El Dr. G. fue lo contrario. No solo fue la esperanza en estos momentos obscuros, fue parte del equipo que soluciono mi problema. Mi admiracion y respeto a la profesionalidad y a la calidad humana del Dr. G.
GRACIAS! Rosalba F., Jacksonville, Florida

I traveled from Florida to California, in search of a hope for my thyroid cancer that I had. I found more than this! If found a precise diagnosis with the guided orientation necessary to treat my illness. Today, it is almost impossible to find a doctor that works with the patient. The majority of the doctors only work with empty and muddled words, (showing THEIR confusion) from behind a computer, and mainly with ZERO human sensibility.
Dr. G. was the opposite of this. Not only was he my hope en those darkest moments, he was part of the team that resolved my problem. My admiration and respect to the professionalism and humanity of Dr. Guttler.
THANK YOU! Rosalba F., Jacksonville, Florida

Dr. Richard Guttler is nothing less than exceptional. It was a misdiagnosis in Scottsdale, Arizona that lead me to drive 8 hours to be seen by someone who is passionate about what they do. It was refreshing to find an endocrinologist that is dedicated to excellence

The Worst!

I was recently diagnosed with several suspicious lumps on my thyroid. My blood tests suggested possible/ probable cancer. It was critical I see a specialist ASAP. Dr. Guttler was not my first choice. I read awful reviews about him and his staff. My internist also hesitated when referring him. He recommended him third after two other Doctors ( I might add). The first two Doctors either had long waiting lists or were not accepting new patents. Dr. Guttler was able to get me in quickly so I made the appointment. I moved this month and was short on cash and asked if I could pay half at the time of the appointment and half on the first of the month. I am on a fixed income from MLB about the most reliable source imaginable. The day if my appointment Marilyn, the office manager, called to inform me the Doctor was unwilling to agree with this arrangement. Only requiring he wait ten days to be payed in full! If you read his reviews, literally none of which are positive, the Doctor himself responds to a similar complaint to mine, by blaming his staff. Assuring all future patents he is open to payment arrangements. It was based on this information I decided to see him in the first place. I am not a person who doesn't pay their bills, nor do I expect to be treated " differently" I do however, expect people to be true to their word and to exercise companion. Fortunately, the Doctor I mentioned above, that was not accepting new patents, he is very highly regarded by both his patents and peers and therefor, extremely busy, took my case. When he received my records from my internist, he arranged an immediate appointment. Doctor Guttler's poor reviews extend far beyond stringent payment policies. Incidentally, I was raised by two Doctors and am sympathetic to how difficult both patents and insurance company's can be. Neither would ever turn a critical person away over a ten day post dated check! Stay away!

Extremely rude staff and the doctor was less than concerned about my condition.

He did seem very concerned about making money. DO NOT GO TO THIS FACILITY!!!!

RUDE OFFICE

I have to tell you I am sad to say that Maraline at this office is very rude and would not recommend this office to say the least.
