- Highly recommend both the Doctor and the clinic.
- We are so pleased to have decided to see Dr Guttmann. Really put my son at ease, was so pleasant and addressed our needs perfectly. Thank you.
- Having seen Dr Guttmann on Wednesday, as always he made me feel at ease. We discussed fully my health situation and he dealt with any concerns I might have had. If you have any heart conditions I strongly recommend seeing him.
- I have received excellent care from Dr. Guttmann. My only comment is that at Wellington Hospital because they were full I was not provided a private room but was put into an ICU room. This room had no bathroom and I had to leave the ICU area to go to toilets near a lobby. Also the lack of a private room meant my wife had to wait in a waiting area instead of private room. The care received in the hospital was very good but having arranged this procedure privately the experience could be better.
- Very happy with the convenience of this clinic and Dr Guttman is excellent too..
- We found that Dr Guttmann was extremely friendly and professional. He listens to all our concerns a nd questions with plenty of time and empathy. His medical knowledge is huge. He takes good control of the medical path that’s ideal for your medical situation.
