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.

Takes the time every appointment too listen to all my problems. Straight forward kind of Doctor.

Has gone downhill...
Done business with this office for a few years. Front office staff was usually friendly and helpful. However, since COVID and office turnover, things have gone downhill. The new front office staff is flat out rude as well as condescending. They relentlessly run interference for Dr. Garg in a way that makes you wonder if he's actually aware that staff is speaking on his behalf, or, has encouraged them to do so. Not sure how long his practice will last in the current state it is in.

Worst run office I have ever been to!
Staff is ignorant rude unprofessional and dirty. Uniforms were stained. Never did they follow through on a referral, they called In someone else’s prescriptions and when I complained he refused to see me. Run as fast as possible anywhere else.

This is by far one of the best, and caring physicians I have ever been seen by. He takes his time with you and will always make time to squeeze you in on short notice. 10 stars from my perspective.

Dr Garg is a fantastic MD If you are looking for a Doctor who truly lives the oath he took towards his patients, in my opinion he is the best ! His knowledge is vast Dr Garg was able to diagnose my issues which were confirmed once I was seen extensively at Duke 5 years ago and the MayO Clinic 10 years ago Two entirely different issues . He truly lives and enjoys working for his patients Unfortunately I have seen the best specialists in the US Dr Garg gets my highest recommendation

I see Dr Garg monthly due to many health issues. He and his staff are without a doubt the best medical practice i have ever used. They get me in expediently, they are always very thorough and caring. And they actively approach any and all medical issues. If Dr Garg can't treat he will find you a specialist who can. His staff is so great that you can even call with a question or concern and they call you back after consulting Dr. Garg. I am so happy to be his patient. Thanks, KML??????????

I would avoid this office at ALL cost. I have never had such a horrible experience regarding a doctor's office. They made it very clear to me that the mental, emotional and physical health is not their first priority. We were trying to establish a doctor and chose this office- they refused to see me until my medical records came in- even though we have been in contact with them and it was taking an extremely long time. My antidepressant was running out and my records still had not arrived, my wi

Don't go to here at all. I saw him when I was in high school and back then it was OK. Moved back to the area and needed a local primary care and he didn't take me back. Not only did they have me sitting in the waiting area over an hour before they told me I wouldn't be seen. It was done in the most unprofessional way I have ever witnessed. If me sharing my review saves someone from going to him I will say it wasn't a total loss of my time.
