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.

Expert...Kind...Caring
Dr. Garner is excellent. I went into the ER and found I had two 8mm kidney stones. I was blessed to have Dr. Garner on call. Absolutely received the best and most professional care. He took the time to talk me through the procedure, visited me while in the hospital, and even called several times to check on my recovery when I went home. He is not only an expert in his field, but a kind and caring individual.

Excellent Physician
Dr. Garner treated me while I was hospitalized for a UTI and Kidney Stone. I couldn't ask for a better doctor. He was very caring and gave me excellent care. I wish he were on my Insurance plan because he would no doubt be my physician going forward. I can't thank him enough for his care and concern.

I recommend Dr. Garner highly
Dr. Garner has been my go-to urologist for 12 years, and in my opinion he's tops. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2011, did a great deal of research on the options and chose proton radiation therapy, and I'm in remission today. I picked Dr. Garner because he had experience with patients who used proton radiation. He tells me he now has 12 patients who've successfully used proton radiation for prostate cancer treatment, and he's as impressed with that treatment as I am. Dr. Garner is smart, thorough, asks good questions, thinks outside the box, and takes a whole-patient approach to healthcare--in other words, he is a physician first and a urolgist next--so he considers the whole patient, not just the urology side. He's also a good communicator and he encourages your questions. I've never been more pleased with a physician than I am with Dr. Garner. He's a very important part of my healthcare team and I recommend him highly!

Dr. Garner in Fort Lauderdale is everything you want in a Urologist. He and Lisa, his medical assistant, go out of their way to make you comfortable. Dr. G brings over 35 years of solid professional expertise to the table. Based on my experience, he is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and dedicated to his patients.. Most importantly, there's no rush act. I developed a kidney stone 12/15/17. After a battery of tests, surgery was the prescribed solution. Now I feel great thanks to Dr. Garner....!

Real doctor. Although a specialist, he took the time to take thorough background data. Just about gave me a full physical and drew the blood himself. After the procedure, he followed up personally for several days. Imagine a doctor who actually takes the time to perform his job properly, rather than rush them through to please the bean counters.
