Dr. Guerra and his team operated on both of my wife's shoulders over the past 5 yrs. She had complete tears of the Rotator Cuffs and Biceps. In January '24 Dr. Guerra operated on my right shoulder with a partial Labrum & rotator cuff tear + bone spurs and a Mumford procedure on my clavicle. I followed the Doctors orders did my PT and was up and hitting golf balls in 3 months. My wife and I are both hard driving athletes, as she is scheduled to have a complete knee replacement from Dr. Guerra in November 2024. So we have become very familiar with Dr. Guerra and his staff. We all know in Life, that occasionally you come across a True Professional that is a SUPERSTAR. Whether they are a Doctor, a contractor or a laborer they are KEEPERS and raise the bar of excellence for all others to aspire too. Dr. Guerra is one of those SUPERSTARS. He is an Orthopeadic Surgeon in Naples, Florida, who along with his staff, both front office, nurses, and PA's in my wife and my opinion are true exceptions to the norm. You might ask why we feel this way? Well, I've always felt it was "the little things in Life that made all the difference". How you are greeted, when you approach the front desk, how one of the nursing staff does not forget you asked for another copy of something before you leave the office, how well the doctor communicates with you about your condition, his recommendations and what the surgical procedure involves, along with the recovery time and PT requirements. This Doctor (Guerra) gives you the time needed, pays keen attention to his patients, looks you right in the eye while listening and communicating with them. He and his staff use the latest medical innovations and technics such as BMAC to promote faster healing and recovery. Dr. Guerra is the Medical Director for Arthrex Inc. a leading sports medical device company and has studied under Dr. James Andrews during his Fellowship training. My Wife and I have done our homework on Dr. Guerra prior to choosing him and we hope you will too, as we are very pleased with the out come of our Surgeries and our resultant recovery. We hope all of you reading this will do your Research Also. read more

Surgery is a word that most of us do not like to hear, and when faced with that situation, the only control you have over it is making sure you are in the best hands possible from beginning to end. I can assure you, I found the best of everything in Dr. Guerra, his staff, and facilities when it came to replacing my collapsed hip. From the first phone call to his office, where the receptionist actually answers the phone, to my last day of physical therapy, I found his staff to be very professional, courteous, prompt and knowledgeable. Dr. Guerra, himself, is a perfectionist and his passion for orthopedics was evident throughout the entire process. At our first meeting, his knowledge, coupled with a warm and caring manner, greatly eased my anxiety over the impending surgery. Notwithstanding the state of my collapsed hip, his skills and expertise resulted in a very smooth surgery followed by a low pain recovery requiring nothing more than a few Advil. The end result is a fully functioning hip with a barely visible scar. After this experience, I can assure you that having 100% confidence in your surgeon and their team is truly priceless when facing surgery. read more

I'm 66 and I've had a bad right shoulder for 6-7 years now. Very little movement, no lift, and lots of pain..before moving to Naples...Orthopedists in Denver told me that if I had the shoulder replacement surgery, it would address the pain, but not the arms' ability to do more...OH MY were they Wrong...because I have, basically, a new arm!! I can grab a 5 lb. bag of sugar and stick it on a top shelf...shampoo my head, grab my wallet (like I was 20 years ago!) I'm still stunned! Dr. Guerra worked a miracle for me..everyone said he was the best ..he is! I felt like Tim Robbins in The" Shawshank Redemption", after being told that my arm couldn't be healed, and than finally getting spit out of that escape pipe with such a sense of fulfillment !! It's only 8 weeks out and I can do almost anything ( although don't try to pick up a pillow-top mattress..did that..too soon !) People are lined up around the corner to see Guerra....but it was sure worth the wait for me..........Steve S read more

I recently injured my right knee over the holiday weekend to the point I knew something was wrong this being the second time with this knee. I was able to get in to see Dr Guerra's PA and get an MRI with in the next day to figure out what was wrong. I unfortunately had a bucket handle tear of my meniscus and they were able to get me into surgery at their next available opportunity which was amazing. I am now recovering and had my first Physical therapy session today which was great. Beings I have been through this before with another orthopedic dr I knew what to expect but this time Dr Guerra his PA, office staff were amazing, great bedside manner, scheduling, very educational, answered all my questions, made me feel comfortable and more like a person rather than just another patient like other places I have been. I would highly recommend Dr Guerra to anyone that needed his services. Thanks to him and his staff I am on moving smoothly through my recovery. read more

I have been a patient of Collier Sports Medicine Rehab since June of 2021 I want to point out your employee Nicol who not only is always friendly and has a smile on her face but works extra hard to accommodate my schedule as I work full time. Now I have another surgery scheduled. Nicol knew I had done all my previous rehab with Clint and would like to stay with him, as I have made very good progress with him, and that 2:30 pm is the best time for my schedule. Before I even called her to ask, Nicol had scheduled the first appt with Clint at 2:30 and then scheduled the next few months with Clint at the 2:30 time slot. I called her immediately to thank her when I received her schedule. You have a very special employee with Nicol and I want to express my appreciation to you and Dr Guerra so that she is recognized. It is so rare when employees care so much about their patients to think ahead to make things easier for them. read more

Dr. Guerra performed my ACL repair 06/2021. He did a great job of explaining the procedure along with the after care. He has a great bedside manner. His staff is also amazing, from the front desk, surgical coordinator, pre-cert dept to the clinical staff. They all took great care of me and my needs. I had a mild episode where I was concerned I had a blood clot, they took action right away. Less than 24 hours, from the time the office was notified, I had an ultrasound ordered, seen by one of his PA's and results given to me. Not to mention the physical therapy downstairs. Vince & John do a fantastic! They did an amazing job at accommodating me on their schedule and working with my rehabilitation. All the physical therapists are very highly qualified and professional. The key is do what your instructed to do, physical therapy and all other follow up treatments. I highly recommend Dr. James Guerra and his staff! read more

Over the last 6 years, I've seen a few different Orthopedic surgeons here in Naples. Without a double, Dr Guerra is above all others. I have since seen Dr Guerra for several issues; elbow, knee and shoulder. He provided me options to assist with the healing process, before even mentioning surgery. My shoulder impacted my day to day activities, including sleeping. It was time for my shoulder to be scoped. Dr Guerra performed the surgery with great success. His Physical therapy team was very attentive to ensuring I performed each exercise as directed . They were not pushy with the recovery, but were very informative about why the sessions are important to maintain in order to have a successful recovery. His office staff is wonderful. They attend to the needs quickly with great knowledge. I highly recommend Dr Guerra. read more

I have been a Registered Nurse for 30 years. I have seen a lot of good and bad over the years. I cannot say enough about how great Dr. Guerra's office is. The staff run it like a well oiled machine. They are conscientious, on top of important matters, friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. I met with Dr. Guerra's PA (Physician Assistant) Theresa and she was so kind. She answered all of my questions and even reviewed my X-Rays when I asked her questions. I applied for FMLA with my employer and I was worried about the office getting all of the paperwork in on time, and they filled everything out and sent it back to my employer within days. Tammy even called me to make sure everythign was all set. I give this office a 10/10. I need multiple joints replaced and Dr. Guerra will be doing all of them. Highly recommend. read more

I have been seeing Dr Guerra for over 2 years. I thank God that he is my physician considering the pain I have gone through. He did surgery in both my shoulders. He is extremely kind and empathetic. He is very well known in Naples, and I have NEVER met anyone that has said anything negative about him. I highly recommend him for all these reasons. His staff is wonderful and caring. I also do my Physical Therapy in the first floor of his office building. I love going there, yes... to PT. Everyone from the front desk to the Physical Therapists make the experience as fun as it can possibly be!!Bottom line is that Dr Guerra is very knowledgeable and I could not imagine choosing a different orthopedic surgeon. read more

In my opinion, Doctors Wilhoit and Guerra are two of the best Orthopedic physicians that I've encountered! Great communication, follow up professionalism and quality. I highly recommend this practice following up. My surgery was also a very phenomenal experience with Collier Sports Medicine and specifically my therapist, Madison. She was highly professional, very clear in all her directions communications and follow up and provided one of the best physical therapy experiences that I've had thus far. She is an outstanding therapist and should be valued praised and rewarded! Well done!!! read more

Dr. Guerra is an amazing doctor, he operated on my shoulder and I feel like a brand new person. I had been suffering from terrible shoulder pain for years and after seeing multiple doctors, Dr. Guerra was the only doctor that made me feel at ease with the process.

I was recommended by a colleague and I have paid it forward and sent a few of my golf buddies to see him too. Great doctor and great office. Thank you, Thank you! read more

My wife had a shoulder repair surgery from a torn labrum performed just over a year ago by Dr Guerra. The process went very smooth from beginning to end with the front staff, amazing surgeon, and the physical therapy group downstairs. After about 5 months of therapy she was able to do nearly everything she could before. It was a difficult decision for her to have the surgery but I have no doubt that she got the best care and treatment possible with Dr Guerra! read more
