This Doctor is the best! As a CTCL patient I have come far under Dr Guitar's close care and observation. Slow and steady, my treatment has been very effective in getting my rare form of cancer under control. Nurse Kelli seems to be instrumental for the excellent service rendered by this Team, under Dr Guitart's guidance. Highly recommended!

Dr. Guitart and his staff are respectful and caring. I am always happy to see Dr. Guitart. He makes me feel welcome and I feel like I am important and special. Dr. Guitart and Dr. Jason [ ] have seen me at my worst. They both have helped me to be alive today. I am thankful for both of these doctors. Excellent listeners and communicated well with my other doctors from MD Anderson in the past. I am still puzzled why Northwestern allowed an amazing doctor Jason [ ] to go. I am thankful that Dr. Guitart is still at Northwestern because he is an amazing doctor. When I see the students, I always reiterate that they are learning from the best. Thank you Dr. Guitart. I also would like to thank the 3rd year student Paola [ ] for being pleasant, respectful, and a good listener.
