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.

As a physician, frankly I am disgusted by Dr. Garbaciak and his office staff. My wife arrived 6 min late to an appointment after being given a card indicating the appointment would be at a different location. We arrived 30 minutes early and waited on hold to discover the location had changed. Even under these circumstances, arriving within 6 min of the scheduled appointment time, Dr. Garbaciak declined to see my wife. This is flat-out poor pt care and the opposite of "humankindness."

Dr.Garbaciak is an amazing doctor. He monitored our last pregnancy. We were really concerned and worried about the health of our last baby due to the fact that our last baby born was born with a cleft lip and palate. Dr. Garbaciak was on Q with our new babies health. We had sit down discussions with him throughout our pregnancy, he was thoughtful, concerned, and overall just a nice man. I would highly recommend him to any family. Thankyou Dr.Garbaciack!:)

Dr. Garbaciak has been amazingly comforting, helpful, and reassuring from my first visit. He is very clear and direct about everything and answers questions patiently and thoroughly. He also takes as much time as is needed to ensure that I feel informed and competent in my care. He responds immediately by phone when I need anything and has helped me immensely by making necessary referrals and recommendations. I cannot recommend him highly enough. My family and I are lucky to have found him.

Dr. Garbaciak has been my high risk doctors for my last and current pregnancy. He is very caring and listens to his patient. He is very honest in his recommendations and provides excellent care. when ever i have questions and call the clinic he respond in a timely manor. His staff gets back to me or he call me directly. I never have to wait longer than 15 minute to see him and if I did he apologized right away. I would definitely recommend any of my family member or friend to see this doctor.

Dr. Garbaciak was very professional and kind during every appointment I had with him. His demeanor is a little more serious and stern, though, so several things he said to me scared me and made me worry about my condition, only to find out later that I shouldn't have worried. He prescribed some over-the-counter medications to me as a preventative measure, but I didn't feel that I needed them, since I had no complications in my pregnancy. Overall, my experience with him was positive, however.

Dr. Garbaciak is an amazing Doctor. He's very confident and explained everything fully. I felt completely safe in his hands and I haven't had a doctor make me feel that way before. Being high risk is very stressful but believing in dr. G made it so much more bearable. He deserves so much more than what my words can say. My husband and I both love him and we are so grateful he is on our team to make sure my daughter makes it to term!

I have seen Dr. Garbaciak for my last pregnancy as well as this most recent pregnancy. He has been the best doctor I could have ever asked for. We were lucky to have found him and be able to have him for both of our pregnancies. I would highly recommend Dr. Garbaciak to anyone that needs a Maternal-Fetal Medicine Doctor! Dr. Garbaciak and his staff go above and beyond to make sure that your delivery and experience is beyond perfect!
