- Cassandra m.
Best GI in the Boston area!. Dr. Garber has been my doctor from the moment I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in Jan 2012. He is the most incredible doctor I have ever had the pleasure I've dealt with. His bedside manner is wonderful, he has seen me cry, get angry, and always been there. He is always fast with returning phone calls, knows everything about me the second I speak to him, and is very understanding of what I'm going through. After hearing horror stories from others who have IBD, I could not be more thankful to have him as my doctor.
