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.

Not a good choice for audiology issues. Potentially caused nerve damage during a painful earwax removal procedure, resulting in additional hearing loss. Gainesville office is in need of renovation.

If you are wanting a nose job, or some other type of cosmetic surgery, Dr. Garlich may be okay. If you have a hearing issue, he will not want to get involved. He diagnosed me with a tumor pressing on my auditory nerve by looking at my hearing test results alone. He never looked in my sinuses for any problems, and he reluctantly glanced at my throat. He seemed to have already made up his mind before he came into the exam room. I think I was more of a problem than a lucrative customer. Go somewhere else for an actual examination.

I have been Dr. Garlich's patient for a few years now. He takes the time to listen and evaluate best course of action. I greatly appreciate his attention to detail and desire to help maintain a 'natural' look when considering facial plastics procedures. He and his aesthetician, Diane, also offer many wonderful treatments to help maintain healthy, more youthful appearing, skin. I highly recommend Dr. Garlich and Diane!

I have had the best experience of my life with Dr. Garlich and his assistant Diane. These two have helped me through the process of achieving my dream nose. I am so grateful that I found Dr. Garlich whose expertise in ENT supersedes that of any other doctor I have met in his field. I am so glad I waited to find and complete my rhinoplasty with him. The process was so easy for me because Dr. Garlich truly cares about his patients and treats them like family. He was realistic with me throughout the entire process about what he could achieve, and his honesty is something that I truly respect. I always felt heard, taken care of, and safe expressing my thoughts to him. The communication, appointments, and surgery booking were all the easiest thing ever thanks to Diane. I would do this procedure with Dr. Garlich a million times over if I had to. I love my results so much. My life is forever changed! Thank you to Dr. Garlich, Diane, and the whole team for changing my life.

Saw Dr. Garlich recently for a suspicious spot that came up on my nose. He biopsied it and thankfully came back benign. I can't tell where the biopsy was now, looks great. He did suggest I scheduled to see a dermatologist soon for an all-over mole check. I did at his recommendation and they found a pre melanoma and removed it successfully. I am so thankful for Dr Garlich, his expertise and genuine concern for his patients. I respect and highly recommend Dr. Paul Garlich!!!!!

Dr. Garlich is an amazing physician with a kind and caring bedside manner. He listened to all of my concerns and offered options that fit my unique needs. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of facial plastics and reconstructive surgery. Dr. Garlich also does an amazing job with injectiables. This is hands down the best experience with a plastic surgeon.

The staff is very professional and always goes above and beyond. I have had IPL treatments with Diane, and was very satisfied with the results. Diane is awesome at making her patients feel comfortable. She is very knowledgeable in her field. Dr. Garlich does a fantastic job at maintaining and restoring his patients health on both ENT and Facial Plastics side of medicine. He is professional, empathetic, attentive, progressive (forward thinking), and calm. I would highly recommend him. CR

I had cosmetic rhinoplasty done in March of this year and I am unbelievably satisfied! I had a "botch" done several years ago and knew I had to do my research to find the right surgeon to help me. Dr Garlich came highly recommended and I am so happy that I entrusted him because he did an excellent job! His assistant/medical aesthetician, Diane made sure I was 100% comfortable and I always had a direct line of communication. Dr Garlich Is amazing at what he does and deserves all 5 star ratings!!!
