Resident and his observer came in first. They seemed to do an excellent job of listening, looking up information on the computer, and explaining thoughts or considerations for diagnosis and treatment. He gave us an idea of what he thought might be going to be ordered. When the physician arrived she was much more abrupt and short. Not too much explanation was given and it was very obvious that she was in a hurry and wanted to get out the door. She informed us of how many minutes she had spent with us even though the questions were not all answered. This was an appointment we had greatly anticipated because I have been referred from one specialist to another and we thought this would be the answer to a lot of problems. It did not turn out to be so. It was disappointing. We left not really feeling like the doctor had heard nor fully responded to our concerns. In follow-up in my chart with questions after the procedure, we were again left feeling like we weren't fully heard nor understood and answers were left incomplete. We felt like we were just being dismissed.

Before I became a patient of Dr. Garg, motility issues prevented me from living my best life. Her diagnosis was "spot on" and her treatment plan remarkably effective. I have the utmost confidence that should I encounter a "bump in the road" she will, once again, suggest an effective solution. I am so grateful to have her as my gastroenterologist.

Dr. Garg works hard to learn all the health information available about me and tailors my treatment to me. In my experience with other doctors, that is very unusual and highly commendable.

Dr. Garg is smart, compassionate and engaging. Her impeccable diagnosis of my condition and effective treatment of my condition changed my life. She succeeded where many before her had failed. I am indebted to her. We meet by video conference. There are bugs that need to be worked out around that system. We almost always have issues with audio and video and have had to continue the meeting via cell phone.

Dr. Garg was very dismissive of my chronic pain from the beginning. She had no interest in providing any sort of care that would provide relief or benefit for my quality of life. She disregarded the explanation of my pain and didn't seem concerned AT ALL. I was very disappointed that not only my mother had to take time off from work, travel over 5 hours to be seen by someone at the Cleveland Clinic who we presumed would care about my quality of life. Dr. Garg was very dismissive and didn't seem to care at all. I have ZERO interest in ever seeing her again as a patient as she has no interest in increasing my quality of life. As an underweight female she disregarded all of my symptoms and simply ignored my pain. She should be extremely embarrassed to be a professional at the Cleveland Clinic and treat patients in chronic pain this way.
