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.

Why did she ever become a Doctor??!!!
She is very uncompassionate, doesn't want to listen to what is wrong & why you are there for the visit, has an attitude that she is higher up than you. And God forbid she has to touch you even though you have had Covid Shots! What Dr. doesn't touch another human? One that shouldn't be a Doctor! That's who!

She has gone downhill
This Dr was better when she was at Rome Medical. Friendlier, happier and more involved. Now that she is at Slocum Dickson, she is miserable, unfriendly and is not interested in your own concerns about your own health. It is a shame. I had two other family members switch to her and they all have the same complaints. I went through hoops to continue seeing her and what a disappointment to see what she has become. I am now looking to switch doctors after 15 years of being with her.

If I could give a negative star I would. . The nurse was not friendly, she didn't introduce herself or ask how I was until we were in the room- it was just here's the scale, this way to the room. My first visit with the doctor was fine, but not great. On my notes in my chart after the visit, she included items that were never discussed, which is concerning. I had a telehealth appointment with her on a Tuesday, and the nurse called to make sure I was ready, 10 minutes after the scheduled time. I never got a call from the doctor. I received an after summary report in MyChart the next day. I sent a message and the nurse said that she tried to call me but couldn't get in touch. I had no missed calls. I sent in a complaint and Dr. Garbooshian replied that she tried to call me several times on Friday, but couldn't get through. My appointment was on Tuesday. How come the office could get through but she couldn't? The nurse didn't call to reschedule until after I complained. Avoid this doctor

I am not happy with how Dr Garbooshian is handling my health concerns. My concerns are often pushed to the side and I am diminished. States my symptoms aren’t abnormal, however, they are abnormal for ME. Staff is often unfriendly and the doctor only spends 5 minutes with me. Switching doctors very soon.

I would highly NOT recommend. I was severely not happy with this Dr she puts things on my health list that I told her haven't been an issue in 9 years and yet she still put it down as a current issue. Every time I see her she is sarcastic, non-intrested in my concerns about my health. Didn't tell me my TSH levels were 8.59 months ago which mind you are high for my young age.

One of the most highly organized doctors' offices you can experience. If you have an appointment with her at 7:30AM, be there at 7:20 -- you'll see her at 7:30! Very efficient and thorough. Outstanding physician.
