Patient Reviews
May 18, 2024
Dr. Garas was very thorough going over my test results, giving my options. He gave me written information for my husband and I to read that followed up from his conversation with me. He suggested that I discuss my options with my husband before making a decision on the next step. He was very easy to talk with and genuinely cared about my issues.
