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.

She is top notch at what she does

Dr. Garino was Knowledgable about my cancer diagnosis, gave me options for treatment with the least invasive as a first attempt to eradicate the cancer. She and her staff told me about the side effects of treatment and prognosis. She listened to me and responded accordingly.

Second Opinion
I came for a second opinion on a back pain. Once you have cancer, you worry about all pains. She didn't outright say it but could tell by her face she thought I was an idiot and wasting her time. She scolded me to 'ask more questions' to my primary oncologist instead. She wasn't knowledgable if the clinic could even do xrays there or scheduled to another location. I left and won't go back. I felt embarrassed and angry by the whole thing.

Helpful Appointment
I saw Dr. Garino for a 1st visit after moving from another state. She is calm, warm, and a very good listener. We talked about some of my concerns and medication options, and she gave me a thorough exam and some helpful information. She plans to follow me closely with frequent appointments.
