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.
Friendly, concerned and very courteous!

Dr. Garris took time to review all options and concerns to decide the best treatment plan. He has completed 2 previous surgery procedures. I have recommended him to 2 friends who were pleased with services they received. I would highly recommend him.
