Please do not go to Dr. Guida. I was very happy and in the midst of accomplishing a lot of things in my career and personal life. However, for years I was having trouble getting enough air. I knew my septum was deviated and several ENTs recommended different options for helping me to increase my airflow as I had a very large concha bullosa in my nose. I did not want surgery. However, things were going well in my life and I felt that it was the time to take care of this issue and put it to rest for good. I was recommended to Dr. Guida. Dr. Guida claimed that my nose had been fractured despite my lack of recollection of this. He said, it was likely when I was a baby. Again, I could not recollect this, but, according to Dr. Guida, I was a baby at the time. He reviewed a CT scan of my septum and pointed out issues. He shared that I needed to correct the function of my nose. I believed him as he’d come highly recommended. I believed that he was an ethical doctor that would only do the most minimally invasive surgery required to ensure I was able to breathe. A year post the surgery, my nose and face look horrible. Dr. Guida destroyed the symmetry of my face and left my nose with significant pressure by the bridge and near my eyebrow. I have an actual dent in my nose where he ruined my skin and it appears peeled. The muscles by my left eyebrow seem strained and pulled. My eyebrows are noticeably uneven and it looks Quasimodo-ish. My nose looks short, angular, asymmetric, different and horrible. Dr. Guida also deprojected my nose without ever even bringing it up leading to an incredibly bulbous appearing tip. My nose is now much closer to my face and instead of having a thin, long nose and perfect tip I now have a short fat shapeless nose that does not suit my face. To top it all off, my breathing is worse then it ever had been. Dr. Guida also perforated my septum during surgery. He failed to provide me with my medical file despite numerous written requests. The operative report he provided has become a point of contention for two ENTs and three prominent ENT/facial plastic surgeons. I also requested my anesthesia report and obtained it from the anesthesiologist - on it, they wrote - deformed. To be frank, I always thought I was beautiful. I liked myself and my appearance and I had a nose that fit my face very well. I was shocked when I read that. I no longer am happy to any degree with my appearance and am traumatized. I cannot even forget about my surgery due to the continuous pressure by my eyebrow and radix. The bruises I had lasted months and left hemosiderin deposits under my eyes. I lost substantial credibility at work as a result of what he did. I hope my review helps someone to make a better informed decision then I did. Dr. Guida did what he wanted to my face with no regard for my appearance at all. He substantially impacted my life to a negative degree and was never honest about what he planned to do and never listened to what I wanted - I wanted air. I recently read that doctors sell tissue to tissue banks and wonder if Dr. Guida sold my tissue to a bank somewhere. Dr. Guida imo does not respect his patients and imo has forgotten what it really means to be a doctor and a member of the helping profession. I would bet that it is highly likely that he did not achieve his station in life via substantial scholarships and that someone paid a lot for him to be able to get to where he is today. The poor reviews on the doctor are true. I do not recommend supporting his practice.

My experience with Dr. Guida was nothing but fantastic. From the time I walked into his office, I knew I was in good hands. His office staff is very pleasant and nice. There was no waiting time. Dr. Guida was very professional and asked me what I wanted as far as my rhinoplasty. I just wanted it to look smaller but natural. And that's exactly what he gave me. I couldn't be happier with the results of my nose. It finally fits my face!! He also fixed my deviated septum in the process and I can finally breath again!!! The surgery was quick and practically painless and before I knew it the cast was off and my new nose was finally shown for the first time. It was one of the most exciting times of my life. Dr. Guida, in my opinion, is an exceptional doctor and I'm so happy that I chose him. I not only feel confident but pretty on the inside and outside. Thank you so much Dr. Guida. You have changed my life for the better and I will forever be grateful.

As with any M.D. have your questions written down before the medical consult Dr. Guida is patient and spends much time answering all your concerns.

Please do not go to Dr Guida. He's better at giving injections than doing surgery. The posts you are reading here about poor surgery results are genuine. I'm going to post photos of what he did to save a prospective patient money. If you need surgery to correct a problem find a QUALIFIED surgeon who specializes in the area of concern that you have. Just because he has a Park Avenue address
doesn't mean you'll be getting top notch service.

Dr. Guida is an egotistical jerk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Guida has horrible bedside manner and was overall not very caring of me as a patient. He leaves the room without notice or saying goodbye. I went in to have my broken nose fixed and have my sinuses re-sectioned. After the surgery I was in the worst pain of my life and I had to go to the hospital two times. I tried to call Dr. Guida only to have him snap at me and offer me no help. He did not see me until 3 weeks after my surgery. The cast on my nose was visibly set crooked and my bones healed that way. After the 2nd month he never saw me again and dodged my calls. After a year, I officially requested my medical records, since I need corrective surgery because of this. In my records he noted that part of my nose collapsed during surgery and I had a slew of other complications. He never informed me of any of these issues during surgery. As a result my nose is crooked, pointy (from his attempt at tip adjustment), and I cannot breath at all from my nose. The worse part of all was his blatant neglect of me after surgery. Be very careful I went to him from all the good reviews only to find out a lot of other people had similar problems with him.

From the initial consultation to all the post operation visits, I have nothing but great things to say for Dr. Guida and his entire staff. The initial consultation: Dr. Guida gave me the confidence that we could return my nose and even improve what it was before. He showed me on a computer screen what it would looked like. When i looked at pictures of his other patients (both pre and post), what was obvious to me was not only the quality of his surgery but how natural the noses were to each patient. The surgery: It ended up being a 3 hour surgery because I had some dirty sinuses which he cleaned too. When I first saw my nose, I immediately knew that it was successful and he reassured me it would be. I loved my nose from the moment I saw it. It is now one of my best facial features and I couldn't be more appreciative to Dr. Guida. I would recommend him to anyone. He is a doctor and artist and also, a gentleman.

Dr. Guida approaches facial surgery like an architect or artist, working with the person’s natural proportions to achieve harmony, balance, and beauty within the structure of his or her God-given face. I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience, and I thank Dr. Guida and his wonderful, helpful, kind staff for all they have done to make this process better than I could have ever imagined.

I found Dr Guida and his staff to be professional and knowledgeable. The results of the CO2 laser and upper eyelid procedure exceeded my expectations in results. There was a full week of down time w/CO2laser but the results have lasted over 3 years so far. I will do the fraxel laser with Dr Guida in the near future on my neck and chest. I highly recommend Dr Guida for any facial procedures and for lipo. Dr Guida explained the procedures and the expected results clearly and thoroughly. He was available before and after procedures to answer any questions.
