Dr. Guidi has been my PCP for as long as I can remember. This is why I feel qualified in saying that I would not recommend his services to anybody looking for a primary care doctor for themselves or their family.
I had a larger review written, but I decided to keep it down to bulletpoints of my experiences with Doctor Guidi:
-Went in for whooping cough, referred to a nutritionist
-Went in for flu, referred to a nutritionist
-Was told I can't play rugby because of my weight (I've been playing for 5 years now)
-Went in on crutches with my leg in a brace, the doctor looked at me and asked which leg I hurt... seriously? also referred me to a nutritionist (instead of an ortho doctor)
-Went in for a checkup and he tried to convince me to get lipo-suction. Seriously? I'm a big guy, but I'm psychically active and pretty in-shape, I don't live stuck in a bed.
Needless to say, other members of my family have already left Dr. Guidi because of the issues noted above, and I will be doing the same soon. Dr. Guidi used to be a warm and caring doctor but ever since he became part of Lahey clinic he seems only concerned with referring his patients to a nutritionist and nothing more.
There's probably a reason why there is never anybody in his waiting room anymore. read more
