Dr. Garras was very good-- finally diagnosed a problem I had been having for awhile that a podiatrist could not properly diagnose. He obviously knows what he's doing. The part I disliked is that although he diagnosed me, I felt he didn't clearly explain what the diagnosis meant and didn't give me time to digest the information and ask questions. I learned a lot more about the diagnosis from googling, and now I have a bunch of questions with no answers.

He was very knowledgeable and helpful. I did wait a while to see him and it was very busy, but it is a hospital after all. No complaints!

He was extremely apologetic about the wait. His receptionist was rude, but seemed like she was under a lot of pressure and was more friendly when the flow of patients calmed down. Dr. Garras was very friendly, very knowledgeable.
