  • “I met Dr. Perez about 3 years ago and she was my Primary Care physician. I found her to be very thorough, kind and caring. She is a true professional in taking care of her patients. I have been a professor of surgery at a University Hospital and was involved in teaching students, residents and fellows. Dr. Perez has all the qualities we would teach our graduates- excellent manners, good communication skills and attention to detail. The consultants that she has referred me to are also very good and I have received good care from them. My husband and I and our friends opted immediately to join her concierge practice. I wish her the best.”

  • “When we left our New Jersey family doctor of 25 plus years to live in FL and have it be the main venue of our medical care, we were sure we would never be able to replace the rapport and sense of personal care we had had all those years. After being Dr. Guzman-Huesca’s patients for the past 3 years, we know we have matched that same close relationship and sense of comfort with him. When Dr. Guzman-Huesca decided to change his practice to Concierge, we did not have a second thought about joining with him and his wife, Dr. Perez, in this venture. We have been in extra need of his services recently with a couple of minor medical emergencies. He has been attentive and informed of all aspects of the situation and in immediate contact with a plan to manage the needed care. His 24/7 availability is especially important to us as we spend time in North Carolina. We will welcome having a physician to contact for immediate advice (one who knows us and our medical history) should any medical situations arise while we are there.”

  • “It is my pleasure to write this brief testimonial for two of my most favorite physicians, Dr. Jorge Guzman-Huesca and Dr. Nelly Perez. Dr Guzman-Huesca has been my personal physician for 15 years and I couldn’t have been in more capable hands. Not only have I been a patient, but I was also employed by Dr. Guzman-Huesca for 11 years, until I retired. Having been in the medical field for over 30 years I can honestly say that this practice is one of the best I’ve ever been a part of as a patient and an employee. Not only are the physicians up to date on all the new advancements in medicine, they are Truly caring and devoted to patient care!! You can’t go wrong by choosing this practice, not only will you be getting excellent physicians, the staff ,Alma and Bonnie will be the icing on the cake!! Love you all.”

  • “My husband and I have had the pleasure to be in Dr. Jorge Guzman-Huesca’s practice since we relocated to Florida in 2001. And, yes, it is a pleasure. We all know that going to the doctor’s office can be an unpleasant experience; however, Dr. Guzman is surrounded by a professional team who assist him all the way. From the moment you enter the office you feel welcome and relaxed. You are greeted with a warm friendly smile by Bonnie after which Alma makes taking your vitals as pleasant and painless as possible. Best of all you never sit and wait! Dr. Guzman-Huesca is patient, caring, knowledgeable and trustworthy. Over the years we have developed such a rapport that he is able to anticipate our needs and provide the care we need immediately. We never thought his service to us could be better but now with his new personalized practice Dr. Guzman-Huesca is simply a text away 24/7. From same day office appointments to home visits, from blood draws to pulmonary tests right in the office there is no other practice we would be affiliated with. It is with heartfelt thanks for the years of excellent service to our family that we write this message.”

  • “Dr. Jorge Guzman-Huesca has been our internist for over ten years. He was highly recommended to us when we were searching for a doctor in the Bonita Springs area. We have found Dr. Guzman-Huesca to exceed our expectations in caring for both of us. He is intelligent, honest, conscientious, kind, and an extremely good listener! His office staff has been there as long we have been patients and they are terrific–always friendly and accommodating. We would recommend Dr. Guzman-Huesca and his expert care to anyone seeking an excellent internist in this area. We feel very fortunate to have found him.”

  • “ We have been patients for three months using the Concierge Service. What we really like and appreciate is the personal attention to our needs, access to Dr. Perez and her staff at all times and with no wait, up to date medical advice and consultation, through them efficient referral/access to specialist doctors and the prospect of building a strong patient/doctor relationship. Our experience over the years with doctors has been a transactional one and so the service with Dr. Perez offers a stark contrast with clear benefits. We would recommend to anyone that they consider this special type of medical service for their own needs.”
