“He doesn't really seem all that willing to help manage my pain for osteoarthritis. He was more concerned with pressuring me to get surgery for which I'm fairly certain is not necessary at this time.”

Great Dr.
Kind, caring, knowledgeable, dedicated, open
He doesn't really seem all that willing to help manage my pain for osteoarthritis. He was more concerned with pressuring me to get surgery for which I'm fairly certain is not necessary at this time.
Dr. Michael Guma has always gone above and beyond to care for me and he always takes his time to really listen and doesnt rush the consultation. One of the best doctors!
The best doctor
Excellent doctor
I would recommend Dr Guma, because he has always been very attentive to my situation and has tried various remedies for my situation. However, I would be cautious in recommending him due to the organization he is with, namely Optum Medical, because of my bad experience.
Dr. Guma has been treating me for more than ten years and has literally changed my life. I was in constant pain until I met with Dr. Guma. I am forever grateful.
He is very good smart and helpful doctor
