"I liked Dr. Garber as soon as I met him, and like him more and more as time goes on.rnrnHis office staff is generally very helpful.rnrnThere is nothing I dislike about him, and his future patients should know he is warm, caring, down to earth, patient, and was very responsive to all my worried, anxious pre-op emails.rnrnHis feeling is that after RNY, we are lifetime partners. He has a support group once a month at Mercy hospital and you must adhere to his post-op appointment protocol.rnrnYes, he did address the risks of surgery.rnrnI would rate him the absolute best overall, and both his competence and bedside manner are great. My roomate in the hospital had pain med. complications which caused her uncontrolable vomiting, and Dr. Garber was either there or on the phone w/the nurses for 12 hours straight until she got better.rnrnHe's tops in my book!"
