Had a great follow-up visit with Dr. Garris. He has been taking such great care of me since April 2024. He saved the sight in my left eye by doing a few procedures. He's a great surgeon. My situation is very complex and he has given me his all and then some. His bedside manner is very kind and caring. I would highly recommend him without reservation. Joann always makes me feel cared for during my office visits. The front desk is always kind to me. I will not go anywhere else. Dr. Garris is the best in his field and very dedicated to his profession. I give his practice ten stars! Cheryl G

I first met Dr. Garris in April. What a great surgeon! He saved the sight in my left eye by doing a few procedures. He thinks out of the box and that is exactly what I needed. Dr. Garris stood by me for several months, making himself available to me, helping me through a very complex situation. If the going gets tough, he will be there for you. He is very dedicated to his profession and a great surgeon! I recommend him without reservation. He continues to answer every question I have. His follow-up care is excellent! His assistant Joann really makes me feel cared for during every visit. She is the best!

Cateract surgery was a nightmare, not only did I not get enough numbing medication, I felt and saw everything he was doing, then afterwards when I told him that, he responded very unprofessional, needless to say I'm not letting him do the other eye, also still having issues, 3 months later
