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.

Long waiting time. Long waiting time for just an appointment. Makes you come in just for negative test results. Several appointments still don’t know what’s wrong with me, tests show nothing. But he wants to do a surgery. Don’t know what the surgery is as you get zero information or papers. I don’t even have surgery orders. Seems to be more about what all he can charge your insurance instead of actually figuring out what is wrong with you. Don’t recommend at all. You’d be better off just diagnosing yourself.

Long wait in waiting room, one hour plus. Second visit in and out, $225.00 for him just ordering different meds that still no improvement. Very high fees that exceeds insurance schedules. I cancelled third appointment and will not go back.

Met with Dr. Garren today for the first time. What an amazing man he and his staff were fantastic, he was down to earth explained everything and spoke to us like we actually mattered. If you need an ear, nose & throat Dr you won't find anyone better.
