Erin Wax is excellent! She takes the time to ask about everything in my life and if there is anything I am concerned about. She quickly addresses scheduling for further wellness appointments like a mammogram and a colonoscopy. I can easily and comfortably talk with her and she is always helpful professional and friendly!

IUD Insertion / Removal

I’ve been a patient with Lakeshore Women’s for several years now, but had not yet met with Dr. Guida! My appointment was for an IUD replacement, and I was so nervous as it had been 8 years since I had my first one inserted. She was AMAZING! Extremely professional bedside manner, so wonderful to talk to and made me feel comfortable. Her nurse was also super awesome and nice! The IUD replacement procedure was super quick and went over smoothly. I really appreciated Dr. Guida’s genuine care towards my worry and walking me through everything. I didn’t feel rushed during my appointment and felt like Dr. Guida really took the time to make this an easy process for me. I can’t express how great my experience was with Dr. Guida and her nurse!

I’m very happy with the Staff and Dr. C.C.R! They were consistently answering my questions or explaining procedures if I had concerns. I impressive when you are treated like a human not a number or a 15 -20 minute robot. I really appreciate them.
