Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Garner and staff are great, they are extremely courteous, friendly and take care of their patients as if they are their own family. Dr. Garner is very friendly and takes no time diagnosing my problem, and recommending a procedure and doing the procedure in a fast and expedient manner.

Dr. Garner was on call when I fell and fractured my hip. Very happy that he was as he was able to repair the fracture with a minimally invasive procedure. Was happy to answer any questions I had and felt like he was interested in my overall health at follow up visits. All is well and I am able to resume normal activity.

Staff and Dr Garner are absolutely amazing! They made sure to review my xray and made it a point to get me in the same day. I was scheduled for surgery the next day.

CUSTOMER SERVICE AND PATIENT CARE IS 100%!!!

My initial visit was courteous and caring. Dr. Garner listened to my concerns about my hands and scheduled further testing before we proceeded to surgery. His PA, Alyson, was helpful and attentive at my visit and also later at my scheduling phone call for my additional testing.

I will recommend Dr. Garner to anyone who needs a Orthopedic Surgeon for the rest of my life. Just recently I referred him to two family members as I've put my 100% trust into Dr. Garner to do the best for them, me and everyone. He is very patient, friendly, understanding, and very knowledgeable of his profession. He takes the time to explain your condition and make you aware of all options. Dr. Garner and his staff will always come highly recommended by me as I believe you'll agree with me.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Garner to my friends and family. I have a pretty complicated problem with no easy answer. Dr. Garner has taken the time to thoroughly discuss my options until all my questions were answered, and I so appreciate it. I have seen him for over a year to monitor my problem and get injections for pain relief. He has shown skill and compassion.

Dr. Garner is one of the most caring, since doctors I know. He repaired my fingers on my hand several years ago when I cut them with a band saw. He is never too busy to take time to explain a procedure or answer questions.. His staff is personable and helpful. He's the best!
