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.

I seen him about 2 hrs but heard he is retired now. He seemed concerned about my hypertension & I trusted him. But he held back & when I was hurting & getting worse he wouldn't do imaging to find reason. When I went to internal medicine the Dr. ordered MRI & found I have degenerative disc disease. Also my tonsils were getting worse. I kept telling Garbisch something is wrong with tonsils but he'd keep saying they look fine. I got a referral from different dr to see an ENT & when he listened to me & looked he said they need to come out. Also in beginning I tried to get a second opinion on a MRI on head & he wouldn't do it. He put it in as my request. They delayed doing it trying to discourage me but my medical told me I could get second opinion & over a month later finally got it but the radiologist did not do complete reading on it & I knew this cuz he did not mention something that I knew about. I was so lost didn't know what to do & gave up even thow I knew this was not right.
