I’m very grateful to have Dr. Guerrero as my psychiatrist. She is compassionate, professional, and truly listens without judgment. Her support has made a meaningful difference in my mental health journey. It’s rare to find a doctor who combines expertise with genuine care - highly recommend.

When I first looked at options, I knew I wanted someone with military experience/ background. I also knew I wanted someone direct, but also who maintained a humorous side. Dr Guerrero is definitely that. More, I quickly realized that she had whatever the quality is that can put someone unsure of what lay ahead at ease. Not through platitudes, but because she understood what needed to be done. In the first session. Skilled practitioners are good. Professionals better. She seems both.

She has nothing short, phenomenal cares about her patience, and being a fellow veteran she definitely takes more interest and care to make sure that I got help that I needed
