About Me

I enjoy hiking area trails, long distance running, mountain biking, bait fishing, and playing acoustic guitar

Care Philosophy

I seek to provide each patient with the best care by recognizing their individual needs. From diagnosis to treatment, I make sure their questions and concerns are addressed. My goal for each patient is for them to gain an understanding of their diagnosis and plan by the end of each visit. I enjoy collaborating with other specialties and subspecialties within neurology to help my patients improve their overall health. 

Area of Interest

I am interested in the full scope of general neurology. In particular, I enjoy partnering with my patients who have headaches, including tension and migraine. I perform diagnostic (electrodiagnostic) studies for carpal tunnel, radiculopathy, neuropathy and other neuromuscular disorders. I also provide BOTOX® injections for dystonia, migraine headaches and spasticity.

Always pleasant and listens to your needs.

Dr Guidos is a fantastic neurologist. He actually worked out a plan and prescribed medication that has made my seizures stop. I'm saddened to hear that he is leaving to move out of town. I give him the highest grade possible for a great physician who is very thorough, knowledgeable and compassionate, with a wonderful bedside manner. He will be missed.

03/27/2025

Dr. Guidos listened to me and accessed my issues and worked with me in the healing processed!

Dr Guidos, is a great doctor, very knowledgeable, easy to understand, highly recommended him.

12/09/2024

Dr Guidos was very thorough and professional and nice. His nurse, Melanie was very pleasant and thorough. She’s definitely an asset to Dr Guidos.

11/26/2024

Dr. Guidos took the time to listen to all my concerns and questions. The most impressive thing is that Dr. Guidos wants answers to why there was the issue and not just prescription medications. He is an extremely thorough professional. His office staff could not be more nice.

11/22/2024

Dr. Guidos is a friendly and very competent neurologist. The office staff are efficient and friendly.

11/04/2024

Once again I don't get any help from my Dr's experience. You had mentioned that you don't follow up on stomach issues. I thought you were a nerve Dr. It is my nerves working it's way across my stomach and moving up from my groin area. Even if you don't handle Buprenorphine, isn't there something else to give me for this awful pain? The house Dr did not prescribed those to me. I figured you can't help me I knew that before meeting you. And all of the mri's I had in the past wrote a script for I think Ativan even though I was taking Klonopin. I guess I don't understand why you wouldn't. Is there a reason why you only give me 1 refill of Gabapentin cream at a time and not 3 like you used to?

10/19/2024

Had a flare 3 or 4 months ago. Dr Guido's upped my dosage and I think it is having a positive effect. Hope it keeps up. Thank you Dr. Guido's.

09/24/2024

Dr G was attentive, listened carefully, and answered all my questions. Not rushed, very thorough first visit.

07/03/2024

The doctor I go to see as a doctor myself, so that should tell you something. Listens and is pretty open and honest and involves patient input into shared decision-making.

05/18/2024

Excellent therapist. Meets my needs

04/29/2024

He has expertise, he is empathetic, Dr. Guidos communicates clearly and is a careful listener. He has a pleasant personality.

02/09/2024

Dr. Guidos is a kind and friendly doctor who makes you as the patient feel like you are part of the treatment process allowing you to help make decisions in your care. I have seen many doctors in the past, and he seems the most concerned when it comes to my illness and issues. His bedside manners are wonderful and he is most personable of any specialist I have visited. I highly recommend Dr. Guidos to anyone with migraines or any other neurological health concerns.

02/09/2024

Dr Guidos, his staff, and his fellow doctors in this practice have all provided my husband with exceptional care. My husband was admitted into North Kansas City Hospital and we had neurologist in the same practice as Dr Guidos meeting with us throughout the stay. They took care to read the chart and follow what Dr Guidos had been doing in treating and diagnosing my husband. We received a call from Dr Guidos’ office the morning after we discharged and a follow up appointment was scheduled within the week. They provide support to me as well as such great care for my husband.

01/09/2024

I didn’t know what to expect. But I found a very positive physician who actually listened. I believe he may actually help.

Very helpful! Was very knowledgeable about my Epilepsy.

08/03/2023

I recommend Dr. Guidos for anyone in need of a neurologist in the area. Dr. Guidos took the time and care with my uncle at his initial appointment. We did not feel rushed during the appointment and all our questions were answered. Dr. Guidos made us feel like we were all on the same page of helping my uncle find relief from his symptoms.

07/18/2023

Amazing! Doctor Guidos was very thorough and listened to all my medical concerns. I feel comfortable that he cares about my health! I already have appointments setup for my care. Thank you Doctor Guidos!

07/11/2023

Very nice Doctor. Took the time to hear my complaints/ issues. Didn't come off that he was trying to rush me in and out. He spent the necessary time to lay out his thoughts and included me in looking at options and testing. Very happy with his professionalism and bed side manner.

06/17/2023

Dr. Guidos was professional & caring.

05/04/2023

He took his time explaining everything to me . Answered every question that I had. And I would highly recommend him . Gave me a diagnosis , where another neurologist just sent me home with no answer.

05/03/2023

Probably the kindest doctor I’ve ever been to. Listens, is patient with difficult situations, and always follows up. I received several phone calls to offer what help he could. The nurses and office staff are also the best.

04/21/2023

Our waiting was short and everyone was very friendly. The Doctor was informative and attentive.

04/17/2023

Dr. Guidos never rushes me. I appreciate the time he takes to listen to me and to explain options.

Doctor was very thorough and caring about my health. He called after my appointment which was unusual for doctors today. I was impressed and satisfied with the care I received. Thank you!

02/20/2023

it was great and explained everything what we are looking for

02/09/2023

Very professional and had a great bedside manner

02/06/2023

Doesn't listen... seems uninterested in answers to his questions. Asks same question multiple times. More interested in typing into computer than listening to patient.

01/26/2023

Dr. Guidos was kind, caring, and put my mind at ease during my appointment. As a previous nurse myself, I found him very thorough and he took his time researching my medical history, explaining everything as our exam progressed. He explained treatment options and included my opinion and feelings re: treatment plan. I found him, and his nurse who checked me in very professional and friendly. That’s a hard thing to find these days with the strain Covid has had on our medical community. I feel blessed to have found him, and confident in his care. Thank you for all your kindness and professionalism ❤️

12/30/2022

Dr Guidos is very professional and friendly. He makes it very comfortable for patient interaction.

12/18/2022

Love Dr. Guidos care. He is doesn't rush you and takes the time to go over everything in detail. I fully recommend him!

12/06/2022

Worst experience I've had in a long time. Poor bedside manner. Didn't bother to conduct basic, standard, every-visit tests. Dismissive about medications a senior neurologist had prescribed and have been working well for years while admitting to having no direct experience with that medication. Do not recommend. Seriously. Go somewhere else, especially for MS.

11/15/2022

He is great. I only wish the office would be in better contact with patients, as, in my experience, it appears they have trouble accessing medical history records.

10/01/2022

Even though I’m a little older than him I can say he is a good doctor. He actually recommended vitamins to help with my headache and I can truly say since I have been taking them everyday it’s no so frequent. I have had 1 every 3 months and I’d rather have than almost daily.

08/08/2022

I like this new doctor a lot. He listens to me and has a great bedside manner. I'm very satisfied with my care.

07/30/2022

I Had headaches for many years without any good relief. Dr Guidos accurately diagnosed my condition, thoroughly explained treatment options, and answered all my questions to my satisfaction. He is knowledgeable and compassionate. We proceeded with very successful treatment that resulted in my pain relief and improved quality of life. I am grateful for his wonderful care.

07/21/2022

He does not listen to his patient! He needs to listen so, that he can understand what the person is going through and try to help his patients! If he or his family was going through what I am then I bet he would listen to them and try to help! I have always had great Doctors here however, he is changing my mind. Very disappointed!
