Review for Dr. Garbarino

An error was made in my diagnosis. A biopsy was never done and I was treated with medicines for fundez, and I did not have a fungus. That's really all I want to say.

Review for Dr. Patterson

I have seen Dr Garbarino several times in recent years, for various finger and shoulder injuries from playing basketball. In every instance he has been professional, knowledgeable, detailed and helpful in his diagnoses and recommendations. I hope to continue playing basketball, and hope to continue...
