Dr. Garg seems very knowledgeable and provided a clear explanation of what to expect and what the options may be for any future treatment. I love that he was available closer to home, avoiding having to sit in traffic and managing the stress in Boston. I will definitely be back in the future as needed. Thank you!

caring, informative


January 2025

He listened to my concerns but I don't feel he looked at the big picture of my health since my problems are multifaceted


January 2025

Dr. Garg had been recommended to check out a Dupuytren's contracture. He reassured me that there was no concern now and how to monitor any changes. Additionally, he mapped out what could be done -only if necessary - to treat this condition in the future. I left my appt feeling reassured and definitely cared for.
