Great first time visit with Dr. Garrett. I've not had a physician take the time to explain in depth and in layman terms my condition. I so appreciate the details shared and the interest shown by her and her residents.

Dr Garrett did not provide any further information about my vocal cords as to what to do next. She gave me a referral for poor posture to physical therapy. I do not have poor posture. She left me hanging as what happens next

Just concentrated on vocal cords didn't address the swallowing issues.
