A great doctor with good advice and insight
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/19/2025
Dr.Garber is always happy to see me and makes me feel at ease. He listens to my concerns and allows me to be an active participant in my care. If I let him know that a treatment doesn't work for me, he discusses the difficulties and determines a new possible approach. He is encouraging when I report good progress, and makes me feel like I can be honest with him about my health concerns and not get poopooed. He is very professional, yet still extremely personable.
