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.

Wonderful Doctor!!!
Dr. Garell saved my.life! I had back surgery that failed and the pain was excruciating! He put a morphine pump inside my stomach and no more pain! He is not just a great doctor but a wonderful human being! God bless you Dr. Garell!!!

Waste of time. This bow-tie (always a red flag) wearing snob makes up his mind about you in ten seconds. He may even be a decent Doctor, but he fails as a human being.

Didn't care about any preexisting conditions, didn't care about anything. Was told "I don't wanna hear what you have to say". Changed Drs the day he said that. Would not recommend this Dr to my worst enemy

The absolute worst doctor I have ever encountered. He is extremely rude and condescending in the way he speaks. I brought my father in for an appointment as we were referred to him by his pain management doctor. Dr Garell showed no compassion toward my father who could barely walk into his office due to severe pain. He repeatedly talked down to him and spoke sarcastically the entire appointment. Would not recommend this doctor to anyone. Wish I could give him 0 stars. He is an absolute disgrace to his profession.

I think his bedside manner is disgusting. I could not believe how rude and condescending he spoke and will never ever recommend him to anyone. If I could give him zero stars I would.

Dr. Garrell is one of the few doctors who STILL spends time with you. If you ever do wait, it's because he's taking time to answer ALL questions had. Believe me, when it comes to your turn you will get the same attention. His knowledge is excellent & one of only drs. who is humble enough to listen & call in others to consult when complex situation arises (as did with me). I have been to drs. since I was 12, am now 46. I've seen specialists in Harvard to NYC -Met one other like him - A+ Dr.

He is extremely rude, incinuated 4 times we were with the dea. Accused my husband of lying that he doesnt eat much. If i was lying there dying i would not let him touch me. Says he sees why your in so much pain but refuses to have any compassion.
