Great Dr. I would recommend to anyone. Has done shoulder replacement and carpal tunnel surgery for my husband and i.
Great answers your questions
Very knowledgeable and confident as well as professional. He has a personality that put me at ease the moment he walked in the room. I wish more doctors were like him.
I saw Dr. Garringer for the first time yesterday. He explained things thoroughly explained what my recovery period would be if I choose surgery.
Very comfortable to be around.
