I have used Dr.Garrett four or five times and my experience has been excellent. Both he and his assistant are very efficient and explain everything in advance. They make the surgery almost pleasant and I'm sure I'll be using him again due to the sins of my youth

I have been a patient of Dr. Garrett's for many years and think that he and his staff are terrific. He is a compassionate and very skilled surgeon and his staff are very well trained so that the office always runs smoothly. I can not recommend him highly enough!

I was referred to Dr. Garrett by my dermatologist for a skin cancer on my nose. As I was concerned about my appearance, I initially asked to see a plastic surgeon but my dermatologist insisted that Dr. Garrett was the best person to do the work. He couldnt have been more right! My skin cancer wound up being extensive and Dr. Garrett miraculously reconstructed the wound so that even my friends dont know I had surgery. He is an absolute artist and Im very grateful. His staff was equally impressive. They made me feel completely at ease, were kind, and always answered phone calls personally and promptly. I couldnt recommend a finer doctor to see if you have a skin cancer problem.

Dr Garrett has provided competent and skillful service for my skin cancer for 4 years. I feel very confident of his abilities to complete the work with care and thoroughness.Very skilled when cosmetic surgery is required at the end of deep cancerous skin removal. Never leaves a scar.
