Dr. Garrett is one of the kindest Drs. I know. She works hard to help me with rescheduling as I have to fly to Vanderbilt and the airlines cancel sometimes at the last minute. She has helped me live a normal life of retirement traveling by finding a Dr.where I'm visiting. Her assistant Donna Is wonderful , kind, and helps me with the scheduling if I need to come early or late. I am thankful for the whole staff.
