So, psychiatry is a difficult profession. Dr. Guzman was good in the sense that she immediately told me that she is pretty conservative in the medication she recommend and the dosages she starts with. She'll start you off on the lowest possible dosage, which is good, and then go from there, which is good. Having said all that, she doesn't ask you any questions about your diet, your exercise, and the myriad of other conditions that could contribute to your condition. She only prescribes medication. And while she's conservative in the amounts of medication she prescribed for me, on my second visit she wanted to double my dosage of the first medication (not a big deal to me because she started me off on such a low dosage) but she wanted to give me another medication. Furthermore, her approach is only medical. If you believe that pills only will solve your problems, then maybe she's the right doctor for you. If you believe that a holistic approach is needed, you absolutely should not see her. Finally, she was polite, but she's fairly strict and gives off the impression that she cares more about getting paid than she does about your care. I called her twice in the second week when I was seeing her (I missed my second appointment, it was my responsibility) and she didn't return either call. She also is unable or unwilling to modulate her approach to your care if you don't agree with her--and I've been around enough doctors to tell the difference between someone truly believing that their approach is best versus someone who just isn't listening to you. She seemed to me to be a fairly poor listener and did not take major factors of my health into account before she started prescribing medication to me. I do not trust her with my care and have stopped seeing her in favor of someone who is going to take an empirical approach to my care--not all doctors are created equal. If you're looking for someone to prescribe you pills and only pills, she would be okay for very minor psychiatric problems such as depression or anxiety. If you are at all concerned about other factors or you're unfortunately suffering from something more than a very minor depression or anxiety, do not see her.

They barely gave me any information at all. I'm going to have to do my own research to get my questions answered. Their staff was not friendly at all, I didn't feel welcome there. They didn't help me as much as I was hoping and didn't answer all my questions. The office was easy enough to find. I would never visit them again. I was very disappointed. If you are having issues you do not want to see this Doctor, she will cause more problems than you already have. Seriously she should not be allowed to practice. I did file a complaint through my insurance company. She is easy to get an appointment with, but you would be better off waiting for an opening with a busier doctor than seeing this DR. Crazy woman!
