I recently had surgery and my experience left me more than satisfied. He took care in explaining the procedure and everything went as planned. I would strongly recommend Dr. Garvey

I had heard that Dr. Garvey was a very good surgeon and so therefore I went to him. I first had to wait for over an hour to see him and his bedside manner was horrible. He was very short with his answers and acted like he couldn't wait to leave. In fact when he walked out I wasn't sure if he was done or not. I finally had to go ask a nurse in the hallway if he was coming back or not. The staff was very nice, but he needs to learn some compassion.

This doctor made me wait one hour and ten minutes and just told me "I don't know to every question I asked. No bedside manner at ALL. Terrible
