About Paulo Guillinta, MD
My principal role as a treating physician is to provide the patient with accurate information about their diagnosis and treatment options. Once the patient is well-informed, we can work together to accomplish a desired goal. I enjoy helping others feel well so that they can live healthy, productive lives with great quality. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife and tireless two boys. I love music, traveling to exotic destinations and playing soccer.

Dr. Guillnta, is an excellent cardiologist. He listens and answers questions in a non-rushed manner. He is also prompt in getting back to me via email.
