Always feel very comfortable and confident when speaking to Dr Garber. Although it's hard to get in contact with certain staff when calling in in a satisfactory way.

Outstanding attention from start to finish. The preparation was thorough, but worth it because of the attention I received from my cardiologist, Bruce Robin. Dr Garber explained everything at the beginning, which was confirmed and augmented by several physicians assistants, all leading to the day of surgery. St Francis could not have been better. The staff was excellent. Recovery was surprisingly fast and not really painful at all. I can give the highest possible rating to this entire experience. Thanks, Dr Garber, staff, and all other connected!

This has been an amazing professional seamless process. Dr Garber has this process down to a science so it is effortless to navigate through the insurance process with ease and support. I had gone to other doctors and was overwhelmed to achieve all the items the insurance company needed to pay for this much needed surgery. Dr., Garber has clout at the hospital also everyone at the hospital knows the protocol and makes the hospital stay as pleasant as possible. I feel that all the hesitations and challenges to get the surgery came to be with his team. I am looking forward to the continued support and guidance through my weight loss and maintainable. .

Dr Garber and his has always exceeded my expectations. I have always been treated with the best professionalism and bedside manners. every procedure is explained in a way that could be clearly understood. The office and all staff is impeccable. Every question i have ever had was always explained, i never felt rushed or left from any visit without understanding options or the way in how my situation would be treated. i never felt on my own. This is the most caring and professional staff i have ever encountered. When it was time to pay copayment or if i had any questions or concerns about my bills Jackie was always so kind, professional and patient with all of my needs and concerns. Donna, PA and Dr. Garber are amazing. Simply second to none.

The surgeon was great! He came to see me before the surgery to answer any questions I had. I did not see him post-op, but another surgeon did come in his place to check in which was appreciated.

Everyone was excellent and very professional. I would highly recommend dr garber. My surgery was done well, i had little after surgery discomfort. The staff informed me of everything that was/would happen and they were very reassuring. St. Francis Hospital was also excellent. I am very happy that I chose this place to have my surgery!
