Dr. Garrison has been my orthopedic doctor since 2012 when he repaired my rotator cuff. He did such an excellent job that I returned to work within two weeks; rehab was less than two months with full recovery of motion. Knee replacement surgery in 2018 was even better. Due to a safety issue in my house (has been fixed) I have broken my elbow, ankle and several bones on foot/toes, and wrist. With exception of wrist (not on call that weekend) Dr. Garrison has taken care of all my bone problems with care and patience - always answering questions and soothing any concerns I have. If I could not get an appointment with him, I had no problem seeing Mark, Sarah, or Mandy. In fact, on several occasions I specifically asked for Mark. As far as I am concerned, Dr. Garrison will remain my primary orthopedic doctor until he retires or I no longer need one. P.S. when I broke my wrist, I tried to make appointment for surgery with him but scheduler insisted I go to the doctor… that was on call the weekend I broke it.
