J David Guo, MD, DDS, considers it a privilege to care for patients throughout their cancer journeys. “Our patients deal with disease processes that affect essential functions, such as speech, swallowing, breathing and appearance,” said Dr Guo, a surgeon with the Head and Neck Surgical Oncology Clinic at Methodist Estabrook Cancer Center. “My work allows me to combine complex, technically demanding surgeries with the opportunity to make a profound difference in their lives. Being present for them in their most vulnerable moments – and playing a role in their healing – is deeply rewarding.”
