Physicians Family Health Service: Guardarramas Gabriel R MD

"Excellent service; from the moment I arranged my appointment until the moment I left the office, the entire team took great care of me. A big shoutout to Jeremy, the nurse; he's a fantastic person with an outstanding vision for helping people. Dr. Guardarramas is such a gentleman, gave me valuable advice on my future career and how to keep myself healthy and away from those who could harm my career. Thank you."

"Very friendly environment. The receptionist is super friendly and very informative. I only saw the physician for a few minutes but he was great. If they weren’t far away from me I would switch over to have him as my PCP"

"NOTAM!!! PILOTS BEWARE! Personal experience, doctor disqualified me with no explanation and no reason. I have Celiac’s disease (which means I can’t eat wheat products, not a life threatening allergy, I just don’t feel good after). The doctor seemed unaware of what the condition is, asking if I had Crohn’s or Irritable Bowel Syndrome multiple times. After sitting in his dirty, disorganized, overly hot office for an hour I was informed I had failed my medical, when I asked why (concerning right?! Do I have a dodgy heart? Are my lungs gonna give out? Am I going blind?) he said I had an undefined OTHER condition. When pressed further he said again the computer said I have OTHER and the FAA would have to review it. It’s been 40 days, I’ve lost my ability to fly, I have no idea of the next steps, and no idea if I will ever get in the air again. I am struggling daily to fix this issue. I also have no idea if I do indeed have a REAL disqualifying condition which could impact or END my life. I’m going to other, more qualified doctors now to look into this, of course. This doctor should not be practicing. He should be retired, by himself or any licensing board that can remove him. Obviously he has only a basic to NO grasp on any condition that has come into knowledge since he graduated from medical school (from the dusty, worn, filthy certificates on the wall, I’m guessing at least half a century ago) and is making no effort to update his knowledge. Besides his lack of personal improvement (to his professional knowledge or the condition of the hovel he calls an office) he’s also betraying his Hippocratic Oath. He has a patient standing in front of him, asking if he has a life-threatening or dangerous condition and his response is to say it’s out of his hands and the FAA has to review it? No, the response is, you have this condition and need to get it looked at or you may die or injure others OR you’re perfectly healthy, I just don’t know how to use the FAA computer systems correctly and I hit the wrong button and now you can’t fly anymore. I’m keeping your $300, sucker… I’m just appalled that doctors like this are allowed to keep practicing. I’m even more shocked that a reputable organization like Mount Sinai would associate themselves with such a pathetic practice. I cannot warn you enough. Wave off. Go around. Find an alternate. Your license and livelihood depend on you NOT going to this… place. That’s the only thing I can call it. It is a place, with longitude and latitude coordinates but that is all. BEWARE!!!"

"The doctor is highly unprofessional. First of all, as you walk in, you will be greeted by his wife who is also his receptionist. She would give you a ton of attitude and would ask personal questions. I am all for a small talk and a friendly conversation but there is something very negative about her. There is a ton of unnecessary sass and she comes off as a really rude person. The doctor is a completely different thing, even worse. He is nice but gets too nice and he can go on and on and on about his trip to Cuba or some other weird story he has. He chatted a lot and wasted a lot of my time. I told him about my condition and (attention!) HE HAD TO LOOK IT UP IN WIKIPEDIA!!! I simply could not believe that my doctor is looking up such a common condition. His practice is completely useless and I certainly will never come back."

"Man if you need a family doctor with experience who is not going to just medicate you, but instead get to the root of the problem! This Docs for you! Very knowledgeable and friendly doctor with top notch customer service staff on hand. I went in for a Flight physical Monday morning. I got there early and Mrs. Guardarramas who handles the intake process was the very best. She made me feel comfortable and she was fast. DR. G was fast and all so gave this 1st time airman some valuable information to take to the field! Thanks Dr. G I am forever grateful. Sincerely Lawrence Williams... “Up Hayes and all its loyal Men”"
