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 my kind of doctoring!
Very little Doctor & Patient interaction. Brings in a double computer stand and an assistant and they both type away throughout his time in the room. No physical examination whatever was done. He asks a very few questions and shares very little information. I have noticed that more doctors seem to be doing this and I don't like it. Meds are prescribed that conflict with patient issues due to this style of service. Visit with your patients, not your computers! My amazing Cardiologist devotes his full attention to his patients and was able to detect a spot of skin cancer on my nose because of that. After the visit he transcribes his notes.

I'm a new patient and time spent was enough to cover my concerns, he may not check all info in chart as he should but a reminder might be needed. The staff is nice and patient no issues here.

Dr. Garrison has taken care of our family for many years. He's more thorough than some of the specialists I've been to. He helped my husband solve a major problem this year, and thankfully he's enjoying good health now. Staff is always friendly and understanding.

I would give zero stars if possible. He does not care about his patients, pushes meds, does not read chart before coming in to see patient, too busy pushing hormones and staring at his iPad with his assistant. Horrible dr. 8 visits, no resolution at all and worst of all, had to explain why all over again every time. Doesn't want to get to the root cause just push meds and push you out the door. Stay away.

Did not take an interest in anything I had to say or felt as a patient! Felt they didn't hear me and what was going on. All they did was stare at an Ipad screen and throw meds at me. They also keep throwing me around to 3 different doctors. Who does that!
