Dr. Garreau and her whole team were incredible. They took a scary situation and made it feel less scary. They were informed and also helped get us scheduled for all the follow ups in a timely fashion. Winnie the scheduler was particularly amazing.

From the 1st phone call my husband made through the visit with Dr. Garreau, everyone was very responsive, professional and personable.
