Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Although I had made an appointment in advance specifically to see Dr. Garfield, when I arrived at the specified time I was advised that he was no longer there, and that I could see another of the doctors in the practice. Even though Dr. Waldo seemed like a very nice man and, no doubt, a fine doctor, he is not Dr. Garfield. I am very sorry that Dr. Garfield is no longer with this practice.

Dr. Garfield exceptional care
Dr. Garfield has been my doctor for 25 years. His knowledge in his field and his care for me is exceptional and second to none. Over the years, during every visit with the doctor, he has given me the necessary time for a very thorough examination to uncover or rule out any cardiac problem. I could always see that his highest objective is to care for his patients. Nowadays where doctors merely spend 10-15 min. with each patient, practicing what I would call assembly line medicine, for me Dr. Garfield is the golden standard for medical care.

Had my 3-month follow-up yesterday with Dr. Garfield & I actually look forward to my visits with him. Can't say that about any other Dr. I see. He is so knowledgeable, caring & always puts my concerns at ease. He has a personality & sense of humor like no other Dr. I have ever seen. I love you to the moon and back, Dr. Garfield!

My visit was great! Staff was pleasant, detailed, and professional. The office is very clean with a warm environment. Dr. Jawaid was assigned to handle my concerns. He is a pleasure to have; i.e. attentive, friendly, thorough, and provided a clear path forward. I will recommend this group moving forward to my family and loved ones. A real pleasure. Many thanks!

Excellent! Brilliant physician, that cares about his patients and listens to them. The office staff is absolutely terrible, and it is a shame to have to go through a great amount of stress each visit and to schedule each visit. I definitely recommend Dr. Garfield.

My husband and I love Dr Garfield. He has a bedside manner all his own. We look forward to seeing him when we have an appointment. He is precise in his reports and listens to you when you tell him what's wrong. He takes the time to examine you correctly and listens to your body sounds for anything abnormal.

I am so happy to have found Dr. Garfield for my mother's heart health care!! The first thing I noticed when meeting Dr. Garfield is his wonderful sense of humor that puts you right away at ease. He is very thorough when examining you and takes his time when listening to "your story". While at the ER and in the hospital days before, I can't recall any doctor taking the time and care of doing anything even close. "Caring" is the right word here. When Dr. Garfield changed and told us to stop some of the meds ordered by the hospital doctor, we were a bit nervous at first, but knowing of his years of experience and the good feeling we had about him, we trusted his approach and went along with his plan. And he was absolutely right!! When calling the office with a question today, Dr. Garfield himself called back shortly after and addressed my thoughts and concerns. I felt again relieved, reassured and safe, because I knew my mom is in the best of hands with Dr. Garfield. Great staff, too.
