I have been a patient of Dr. Garland for the past eight years. She explains my test results in a manner I can comprehend. When she had not received the report on my CT scan by the time of my appointment, she promised to call as soon as it came through. She called that afternoon, despite her busy schedule, as she knew I was concerned.
