Dr Garrett is extremely kind, she took my issue seriously, and I feel like I'm in good hands. She explained things thoroughly in a way I could understand. I will say I have had providers that spent 10 mins with me and blew off my issue; where as Dr Garrett spent close to an hour with me, and when I left I did not feel like a complaining whiny person. I felt seen and heard.
