"My first impression was one of respect from him. He didn't make me feel lowly, or small. He explained his concerns for me, the impact on my life with and without the surgery. He was honest with me on possiable complications cause of my size as well. He was forward and honest. His staff was very welcoming. Every visit to the office the nurses and secretaries were helpful and courtious, answering all my questions, even though I asked some of them over and over. Dr. Garber and his staff all emphasized aftercare. Visits back to the dr.'s office, going to support group of some sort. I would rate Dr. Garber a 9.75 out of 10. He was great. I don't really have anything negative to say about him. I wish he had a better sense of humor, but better an acomplished surgeon than a comic. 2 Months later he took out my gaul bladder. That too went well."
