Patient Reviews
Nov 21, 2024
Dr, Naveen Gara is a doctor I highly recommend and respect. Dr. Gara goes above and beyond helping patients understand their health needs. He is very approachable and genuinely cares about the well-being of his patients. His knowledge about his specialty is outstanding! In seeing four medical doctors, Dr. Gara was able to assess my situation properly and had come up with the appropriate intervention to my symptoms. He was able to manage my health care needs professionally while letting me know that he will do all that he can to help me go through it regardless of any outcome. That is very special when it comes to our health nowadays and a doctor like him is rare to find. It is hard to find a doctor that truly cares and understands what patients are going through. Dr. Gara and his staff took care of me and my other family members in the past as well. They are an excellent team that everyone should know about and recognize! Highly recommended and we can fully trust!
