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 G is an excellent surgeon! I have worked with him on a professional level and have been a patient of his for many years. I had a l tkr 1 yr ago and I did great. My incision is barely noticeable and I am doing great. I came to see him this week and I never felt the knee injection. Cindy was so delightful as usual and I was able to see Jennifer to say hi. I love Drag and so glad he is still seeing patients.

Appt was rushed and I was not listened to.
The support staff and x-ray staff were are great and very friendly and attentive. Looking at the reviews, I seem to be an outlier because my time with the actual doctor was rushed and I felt very dismissed by him. It felt like he had already decided everything about my case before even talking to me. He gave me no real chance to tell him about how my knee felt and what things would cause pain. While he did offer, and administer, a cortisone shot, it really seemed like it was rushed and just "going through the motions"with very little attention to me as an individual. He even placed the band-aid about two inches away from the needle puncture before rushing out of the room to leave. He didn't even stay long enough to see the blood immediately welling up at the actual injection site (obviously not under the band-aid) before basically saying "come back if that doesn't help, bye bye!" while quickly whooshing out the door. It was frankly a little surreal.

Dr. Garnett and his staff are wonderful.
Dr. Garnett and his medical staff were very professional but also patient friendly. I was seen, symptoms reviewed, xrays taken and then medical prognosis given in a timely manner. He seemed to uh understand fully my "problem" and wants me to advise him in a couple of weeks if I am.progressing or not. Most physicians nowadays treat you like a number and are only interested in prescribing medicine or some other costly procedure but not Dr. Garnett.. he starts with the simplest and most direct treatment first.

Kept waiting. Finally Left.
Arrived early (as requested) for an initial appointment. My appointment time came and went. Meanwhile the waiting room turned over several times. People arrived after me and left - while I sat and waited. I asked the receptionist what was going on and let her know I would not wait much longer. 15 minutes later - as more patients came and went - I informed them that I was leaving. They tried to explain that there were “4 doctors seeing patients” that doesn’t explain the 15 patients that arrived after me, were called back and then left the office while I waited. I can’t recommend ANY service provider who has such little regard for patients - who also have schedules.

Finally!
I have been dealing with intense opinions in my left shoulder for years. I've gone to other doctor's and was not happy with them. But Dr. Garnett took the time to first listen which the others had not done. I was very pleased with every step of my appointment. I was given a treatment plan that involved a cortisone shot and an exercise plan. I can't remember when I have been able to lift my arm over my head and to the side! I woke up the day after my appointment with no pain!
