He was knowledgeable and his confidence and reassurances allowed me to relax about my symptoms while he gets the appropriate tests done so we can move forward with treatment. He's a good doc.

Dr. Garbeff has a tough job and that is to be an urologist. Having two urologists in the past, one who should be given a one way ticket to the netherworld and another one who was a god send I was glad that Dr. Garbeff was more like the latter. Dr. Garbeff has been helpful and I trust him completely.
