They made me an appointment at 10am for follow up for my shoulder surgery. I sat for 2 hours, then asked everyone around me what time their appointments were. 4 people said 10am with Dr Garside! Booked 5 people for same appointment! By the time I was seen, then left and got home it was 4:45pm. This was workmans comp and had no choice , but use their doctor! Good luck if you consider making a follow up appointment!

Dr. Garside listened to me describe the problem. He did excellent job on my knee, cartlidge repair. After surgery I had immediate pain relief! He explained what he did during surgery and answered all my questions. I highly recommend him for knee surgery!

AMAZING!!! Dr. Garside was simply out amazing. I presented with a complicated tear, two actually. Dr. G and staff were patient and encouraging the whole time. He kept a positive attitude and referred me to a fantastic physical therapy team over at Results PT. If you are facing Ortho. surgery, check out Dr. G at TOA!!!

Dr. Garside did surgery on my mother's knee in 2011. Apparently, nerve damage occurred. She is still in pain & the snooty people at the clinic will ignore you after surgery. Folks, asking a surgeon if you need surgery is like asking a barber if you need a haircut! Try everything first. Lose weight, wear braces, change your shoes, physical therapy, etc. You can never 'undo' the cutting into your body!

Dr Garside did my ACL on my left knee and my rotator cuff in my right shoulder. He checked my left knee after a fall and will be having an MRI to make sure everything is ok.

Have seen doctor Garside several times he does a great job evaluating the problem without pushing for surgical solutions unless necessary

Dr.Garside treated me as if I was below him, my pain was irrelevant, and I was overreacting. Horrible bedside manner.
