Dr. Guglin was born and raised in Rochester, NY. After receiving a BS from SUNY at Albany, NY, he went on to medical school at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Dr. Guglin went through General Surgery Residency training, initially at New Britain General Hospital in New Britain, CT then completed a Trauma Fellowship and wrapped up his General Surgery training at Hartford Hospital in Hartford, CT. Dr. Guglin has been a practicing acute care General Surgeon in Milford, CT for 28 years.
Toward the conclusion of his tenure, he became somewhat dissatisfied with the way physicians typically practice medicine in this country. It has become the norm, in part because of the undue influence of the insurance and pharmaceutical industries, to allow patients to grow chronically unhealthy, mostly as a result of lifestyle issues, then to treat their symptoms with pharmaceuticals or invasive surgery.
