Reassuring and efficient. Listened to my concerns and addressed them fully and offered a solution. So very grateful for his care and attention.
Dr Garg carefully listened to my problems and offered a very clear and reasonable treatment plan. The summary documentation of our consultation was outstanding.
My recent visit to see Dr Garg was excellent. From entering the waiting room I was seen very quickly, no waiting and was earlier than scheduled appointment time. On explaining my symptoms I felt he listened to me thoroughly and asked questions to get a better understanding of my symptoms. I felt very at ease in what could have been a very stressful situation for some people. Dr Garg was very clear on the next steps forward in arranging for further tests. Dr Garg took the time to contact me to check I had made an appointment for one of the tests and even took the time to call me to discuss the results. Overall the service I received was excellent. Dr Garg was very welcoming, made me comfortable, clear in communicating and I would highly recommend.
This was the first meeting I have had since January 2025. Despite that and all the paperwork that I brought with me, Dr Garg was able to get to the important matters very quickly and send a thorough document to the Medical Centre and my self on the very same day.
Dr Grog Explained my condition very thoroughly and the medical proceeders to follow.
