A wonderful doctor! I'm so glad that she was recommended to me for treatment of my health issue that had been going on for well over a year before I was referred to her. I've been blessed that I have gotten so much better. What a relief it has been!

Dr Garrett is very thorough and always makes me feel like I'm her only patient. She is a gem for Vanderbilt. My issue has been going on since 2020 and she has never lost interest or given up on me.
