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 would not recommend Dr. Garg to anyone. I attempted to ask many questions about my condition and left with zero answers. I use medical marijuana for anxiety and PTSD and once telling him this I was treated in an entirely different manor. His demeanor and manor was unprofessional and curt. I asked for possible alternatives to a handful of medications because I experienced adverse side effects which I explained to him such as chest pains, and he got frustrated telling me that is my issue then if I won’t take the medications when I simply asked for alternatives because of adverse side effects. When the appointment was over he left the room without saying a word. The front office woman who takes his calls has been unprofessional in refusing to take calls my from my other doctor that needs information from Dr. Garg. When I called again she gave me her “opinion” of what Dr. Garg would or would not say and still would not relay important information to Dr. Garg needed by my other doctor.

They have cancelled every appointment and led us on for two months. My wife was told she needed to see a cardiologist right away, and has only gotten worse as they ignored her. Strongly recommend not trusting your loved one's health to this office.

I was referred this dr through the emergency room. I had a life thratening condition. The dr did not complete scheduled procedures and offered no explanation. Also he wrote that he completely explained procedures to me . He didnt ever explain my diagnosis, the medications i was taking or the procedures he was recommmending.. He sent his Physician Assistant in to see me each day. He couldnt answer any questions. He was dishonest, saying he was going to get answers to my questions, then he would j
