Patient Reviews
Dec 19, 2023
I have had several procedures with Dr. Garber and I would highly recommend him. At each visit, he provides a lot of detail about your current status, any future treatment and will take the time to answer your questions. Dr. Garber's staff is great too. They respond quickly to questions and have also helped me with insurance and pharmacy issues.
