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.

I transferred from a different doctor because Dr, G. specializes in my condition.... HCM. I am very confident and grateful for his knowledge, experience and recommendations. He is really going the extra mile to get me the care I need. I only wish I had met him 10 years ago when I lived in Santa Rosa and first was diagnosed with HCM.
