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.

HE WILL BE MISSED!!!
Dr Zac is a fabulous doctor. He listens and he relates to his patients. I hated to hear he was leaving. I am confident in his abilities and he puts me at ease. I'm kind of a anxious type person that tends to worry but under his care I am confident and less anxious. He explores all the options and takes such good care of me.

Compassionate outstanding physician
My father was referred to Dr Garner after his abnormal PET Scan for endoscopy. He took his time to sit down and explain the plan of care as well as the procedure. He had a scheduled us in a short period of time and had kept us informed while we were waiting for results. We are extremely grateful to have this physician taking care of patients in our community!

I already have recommended him :)
Listened to what I thought ( because of my lifetime of he) and he worked out a plan SPECIALLY for me. Not a standard …. For what I needed. The office was very quick to get me in first between Gastro and my Urology LPG office. You set me up with an appointment, ordered the scan that ultimately changed my OP urology procedure to a different surg. All because you were efficient. Doc covered all the bases and gave me choices with his top choice. I will never go to another group even though I am a Supervisor at LEE HEALTH. Your office and process blew them away and I reestablished with your group immediately. You have made me feel confident that you will be following up with ne for annual procedures that are necessary have pre- intervention And that is a huge weight off of a busy working woman that could easily forget the importance. The staff are great and I will continue to recommend.

Dr Garner understood the possible problem, explained current treatment, and said that his PA would follow up the office visit. She was exceptional and we decided to try a med that could help me now. I got an appt easily and I was happy someone could see me.
