| 5.0 | Jul 21, 2025 | Dr. Garrett is an uncommon doctor and surgeon. He has a wonderful, caring attitude toward his patients, which is usually not seen in surgeons. I feel completely confident in his assessments and his advice. I know he will tell me the truth and will do his best to help me. His positive attitude is reflected in the rest of the staff, which is important for the well-being of patients. He's the best! | |
| 5.0 | Jul 16, 2025 | He was very professional and courteous he knew what he was talking about and very nice and was attentive to what I had to say. He is a great neurosurgeon and probably the best you you all have. I'm glad I got to see him. | |
| 3.6 | Jul 13, 2025 | This doctor seems distracted and doesn't communicate well with me. He seems caring but doesn't have a knack with his explanation. | |
| 4.8 | Jul 4, 2025 | He has been the most successful doctor that has ever treated me for the pain I have experienced since my fall from a roof several years ago. I was in pain for many years before my surgery so I'm very grateful to him for his care and his help in my recovery. I was actually unable to move my legs after the MRI on my neck just days before the surgery his knowledge and his experience was the key to my recovery. | |

| 5.0 | Apr 4, 2025 | Since my spinal surgery in January 2025, I have been dealing with a considerable amount of pain in my spine (lower back) and down my left leg, including discomfort with a bulge in my back. This meeting with Dr Garrett was my first since the surgery; my prior meeting was with an associate. Following my explanation of dealing with pain and the concerns that accompanied it, Dr. Garrett ensured me that what I have been experiencing is expected following a surgery of this type. He inspected the surgical site and told me nothing to be concerned about. Recovery can take a year for total significant healing. Because he took the time to explain the surgery and the estimated period for healing, I left his office with a comfortable feeling, knowing that what I was experiencing was normal. | |
| 5.0 | Mar 21, 2025 | I was very satisfied with the service I was given and all my questions were answered. | |
| 4.1 | Mar 15, 2025 | Easy to talk with |
