Dr Garrison took time to review my scan with me and explain everything. We discussed my options and determined a plan of care that we were both comfortable with. He is patient, caring and listens. Can't ask for more than that.

Dr Garth Garrison is amazing! He explains the problems with my lungs and he's easy to understand & we make a care plan together..He explained my recent MRI & ultrasound which was great! When you have sarcoidosis, it's not just my lungs that are the problem, he listens to me as a complete person! I I really hope he never moves and continues to be my pulmonologist. He assured me during Covid that all the Doctors who treated Covid 19 had made great strides in the treatment of It. He would help me through It. That gave me peace, assurance and hope through my time of having it! I am so thankful for his knowledge and care. He also responds to my emails through using My Chart, that is great! Not all providers answer you. It's like the nurses should answer you directly. My Chart is a great program! His nurses & The ones who give you a PFT are really nice & very Professional. It's very nice when they listen and then encourage you.! She was a great coach!
