Dr. Guler is an excellent cardiac surgeon — he saved my life twice. He is a very kind and supportive man. I cannot sing his praises loud enough, and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone needing cardiac surgery.

He looked right into my eyes as he spoke to me. He was very caring and did not dismiss me because I am 70 years old. I wasn’t treated so well recently by an ultrasound tech at another Northwestern facility recently so it was even more appreciated. I'm confident in him and happy to have him help me with my cardiac issues.

From the first visit with Dr Guler through surgery prep to post operative care, every person on the team is exceptional. Kind, caring, informative, answering every question my wife and I had without ever feeling rushed. We were the most important patient every time we met with any member of the team! I’m glad I only have to go through this procedure once, but feeling like I won then lottery working Dr. Guler and the NW Cardiothoracic Surgery Team. Thank you!

Dr. Guler is rare among the many physicians I have known personally & among this who have cared for me in the past 7+ decades. His professional credentials are of the highest order, having been trained in his country of origin & then spent over 3 years at the Cleveland Clinic performing bypass surgeries. On the personal side both me in my clinical psychology professor wife we’re impressed with Dr, Guler’s depth of understanding of his patient’s need to understand what was going to happen and what did happen post surgery. When asked questions, he provided answers that shows that he respected us as fellow humans who were headed into unknown territory. He always went the extra mile to give us the time needed to make sure we were completely satisfied & comfortable. He is charming & personable.
