Testimonials
Read what our patients say about their care at the Foot & Ankle Institute of Miami Beach.
I was referred to Dr. Guyen by a friend and I am so happy I went.
I have been suffering from heel pain for over 8 years and unable to run or do cardio exercise. Since I tried everything and saw so many doctors before Dr. G, she recommended PRP treatments. After 3 treatments, I’m back in the gym and running again. Thank you to Dr. G and her wonderful staff!

Dr. G helped me heal a fracture in my foot.
For 16 months, the bone would not heal and my surgeon said he could not do much more. I had so much pain and couldn’t walk or stand for more than 30 min. I flew down to Miami and had procedure same day and flew back home that evening. After two treatments, the bone healed completely and my orthopedist was shocked. Thank you Dr. G for giving my life back. Happy feet now.

Dr. G and her entire staff are wonderful.
When you walk in, you will receive a warm welcome. I’m a diabetic and need care every 3 months. I’m looking forward to my next visit and their delicious hot coffee.

I wanted to write a review about my bunion surgery experience.
If you have a bunion and you’re afraid to get the surgery, go see Dr. G! I had surgery and walked the same day. I was back in shoes in 1 month. Dr. G came up with an exercising program during my recovery time catered for my needs. World class surgeon and world class facility.

Dr. G is super cool.
I went in for an ingrown and she took care of it right away. My cousin came here from Venezuela to visit me but he twisted his ankle. Dr. G looked at his ankle and took X-rays right away. He had broken his ankle. My cousin did not have insurance and she saw him for free. Not too many docs like her.

After four botched surgeries, I almost gave up on my ankle ever healing.
I was left with a limp and several lumps on my ankle which made it difficult to maintain balance. I was in constant pain and didn’t think it was possible for my ankle to ever heal.
We saw the ad for Foot and Ankle Institute of Miami Beach and waited for about 3 months before finally giving it a shot. I was skeptical to say the least. I read what other patients had to say about stem cell treatment and decided to give it a try without any expectations. I’ll have to admit, the technology is a breakthrough. It works! I couldn’t be happier about my decision to meet Dr. Guyen. I’ve never met a physician more committed to helping her patients heal. To all those who’re considering stem cell treatment, please note that it doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time and patience. It’s a long journey but it’s totally worth it. I can now move my foot more than I have ever been able to since my injury. My injury happened 20 years ago so it’s going to take some time to heal. While other treatments have failed me, I’m sure that with stem cell therapy, my ankle’s functioning will be fully restored, if not more than any other treatment I’ve had. I began treatment about a year ago and will continue to do so. Dr. Guyen’s treatments have helped me make serious progress. I am no longer a skeptic and wholeheartedly encourage others to look into stem cell therapy.

Let me begin by saying that I was skeptical at first when I heard and read the previous patients’ testimonies and related results after receiving stem cell treatments from Dr. Guyen.
I WAS skeptical.
I use that in the PAST tense, as this new technology is a breakthrough. My background is a long story, so the cliff notes are what follow. I was in a horrific aircraft accident in 1996, resulting in numerous broken bones, including fractured skull, but more importantly to the association with my nerve issue, was a broken back. This resulted in spinal damage leading to partial and, in some areas of my lower right leg and foot, complete paralysis of movement. I could no longer move my right foot right or left, but more importantly, could not move it up, as if lifting it towards the sky.
After my fiancée, now my lovely wife, Kimberly, insisted I look into this treatment method, I decided to take the plunge. I figured nothing ventured, nothing gained, and what else would I be doing during the time I would be receiving my treatment anyway.
This was the BEST decision in my health care I have made. Now let me say that it has not been a night and day change – nothing happens overnight. However, that being said, I can now move my foot to the right and the left, not 100%, but noticeably more than I ever could. I can begin to see my foot starting to move upwards. It is not 100% yet, and after 20 years that have passed since my injury, I realize it is going to be a long journey, but I am more than optimistic that I will achieve as close to 100% as physically possible.
Speaking realistically, this had been a year’s long hard road since I began my treatments. I am continuing with the treatments as prescribed by Dr. Guyen indefinitely, as there is still progress being made. I am no longer a skeptic of treatments like this, and as such I have nothing but the highest thanks to Dr. Guyen and her fantastic group of nurses and assistants. I can do nothing short of encourage anyone who is thinking of getting this done, or on the fence, that there should be no hesitation about getting stem cell treatments. Dr. Guyen has indeed been a life changer.
