I believe that Dr. Osler J. Guzon saved my life. When the cardiologists at Mercy South Hospital (St. Anthony’s) refused to help me, Dr. Guzon came to my rescue. He was supportive and caring and provided excellent patient care. If you read my story below, you will see why I highly recommend Dr. Guzon.
I have a history of heart disease having previously had five bypass grafts and two stents placed in the past. In January 2019, I had an additional stent placed at Mercy South and three days later had a heart attack and ended up back in the Emergency Room at Mercy South. After 11 hours in the ER and an overnight stay, the cardiologists at Mercy South told me they couldn’t do any more to help me. All they offered was an increase in the prescription drugs that were already making me feel like a zombie. They gave up on me!
My family asked that I be transferred to Missouri Baptist Hospital. After being transferred, I asked Dr. Guzon, who had been highly recommended, to evaluate my situation. Dr. Guzon said he thought there were three additional opportunities to place stents in my blocked arteries. While at Missouri Baptist Hospital, Dr. Guzon’s partner, Dr. Andre Bouhasin, confirmed that the stent that was put in was open and then he proceeded to fix an artery deemed 100 percent blocked and a bypass that was felt to be a futile target. I feel like a new man, and am back to normal activities.
The cardiologists at Mercy South said there were no alternatives, but Dr. Guzon stepped up with a proactive plan. He formulated that plan to get me the help I needed. Dr. Guzon is smart and talented, but he can explain medical issues in a way that the non-medical professional can understand. He is attentive and compassionate and treated me like a family member. I strongly recommend Dr. Guzon if you are in need of a cardiologist.
