I came to Dr. Guo with so much pain in my arms, neck and ankles. Dr. Guo and assistants have been very helpful and caring toward me. Dr. Guo takes the time to go over my symptoms. I feel so much better since my last visit. I am glad he is treating and offering me the chance of a better quality of life.

Dr. Guo provided me with excellent care. He was very thorough in his assessment of my chronic back pain that I have been suffering with for many years. He is the first doctor to provide me with relief and this has given me the ability to move pain free. Thank you Dr. Guo.

I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in September, 2018 and was treated with radiation and chemotherapy. I developed severe neuropathy in my legs and feet and in addition, drop foot in my right leg. I went to 3 different neurologists before seeing Dr. Gau in March, 2019. After comprehensive blood work and additional EMG testing I was administered steroids to treat the inflammation and pain. My pain has been reduced at least 90% and I can function normally. I still have drop foot but we can see improvement in the motion and muscle function. I was so fortunate to meet Dr. Gau and his understanding and treatments has greatly made me feel like a normal person. My drop foot recovery is a slow process but I feel hopeful with Dr. Gau's understanding and treatment that its function will come back.

I agree with the other negative reviews. Lots of expensive tests ordered without telling you which ones are and aren't covered by insurance. I was told everybody has chronic pain, and felt worse after 2 acupuncture treatments when I walked out. Not because of the acupuncture but because of the uncomfortable position I had to lie in for 45 minutes. Before and After pictures of cosmetic botox in every exam room should have warned me about what this doctor seems to care about: money.

Dr Guo has been treating me for over a year for a familial tremor and chronicle cneck pain. He has helped me so much and his staff has been professional and efficient. I would easily recommend Dr Guo to treat your chronic pain.

He has helped me through some pretty rough times with migraines. Acupuncture has helped tremendously. I find Dr. Guo to be a Good Brother to me. The staff is Always Friendly, Courteous, and Accommodating. Thank you to All for being there for me. God Bless You All.....Patrick

I came to Dr. Guo with trigemenal neuralgia. I tried everything for the pain. He helped me manage it. When all I was ever given was drugs. He is patient and listens to you. Which is very rare!!
Thanks Gloria Greenwood

After waiting close to 90 minutes, Dr. Guo does not even perform a physical exam, reviews the MRI results and recommends his place for accupuncture. Place is a mill, not interested in medicine, only billing.

He just wants to milk your insurance and order a lot of unnecessary test! Do not go there

Dr. Guo is an great doctor. He is an expert in neurology, and utilizes several different modalities of pain management, including acupuncture. In my case, he patiently worked to treat my lower back and hip pain. He utilizes a “hands on” approach rather than using assistants to perform tests. Over the years I have found Dr Guo to be patient and caring, and he spends an adequate amount of time with me, answering questions and explaining his treatment plan. The office staff is always pleasant an
