7 Patient Reviews for
Dr. Guler

"Dr. Guler was excellent. At the initial meeting he took the time to answer the manner questions and concerns I had. He was reassuring and fully explained the aortic valve replacement options and their pros and cons. He met with my husband while I was in recovery to let him know how the surgery went and approximately when I would be moved to ICU. He and other members of his staff checked in on me daily while I was in the hospital and again answered any questions we had.

The heart valve replacement and bypasses have healed well and I am feeling so much better. The care was seamless, caring and professional from Dr. Guler and the staff with whom he works.

Based on my experience, I would highly recommend Dr. Guler and the Northwestern Medicine Cardiac team in Winfield."

"Dr. Guler was excellent in reviewing all the diagnostic data to point out the need for surgery. The surgery was planned for 3 months to accommodate dental clearance.

The procedure went well and 4 weeks later I am walking up to a mile a day and feeling stronger each day. Dr. Guler released me from his care with a smile. He was fantastic and glad he did the procedure. Thanks to him and his team!"
