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.

Dawson and I love Dr Garton. He has been my son doctor for 13 years. 83 days in the NICU was terrifying. When he had his bleeds on his brain I didnt understand anything about the experience. Dr Garton slowed us down pulled out a pen and paper and drew a diagram. He really dummed it down for us. He even offered to buy us lunch because he had a unexpected revision and we were completly unprepared for it. LOVE LOVE Dr Garton a great surgeon!!! Even more important a great man

My experience was awesome. I came from a different Doctor who didn't treat me well, to Dr. Garton who treated me like an actual patient. He sits down with me and has full conversations with me. He makes me feel comfortable with him taking care of my health. From me having numerous surgeries with a different Doctor, going to him, he did a fantastic job fixing me. Ihightly

I would highly recommend Dr. Garton. He truly cares about his patients and spends time making sure all questions are answered. I loved that he talked directly to my son and made sure he understood what the adults were discussing. There is no other neurosurgeon I would go to in the state of Michigan!
