Patient Experience
My 8-year-old son had a high fever that wouldn't break, and I was terrified. Dr. Garre was so calm with him, explained everything in simple terms to my boy, and didn't just throw antibiotics at us. He actually listened to my long list of worries (I know I was rambling) and addressed every single one. We left with a clear plan, and my son wasn't even scared anymore. That meant the world to me.
Had my gallbladder out at Apollo with Dr. Garre. The surgery itself is a blur, but the aftercare is what stuck with me. He checked on me personally every morning, even on Sunday, and adjusted my pain meds so I wasn't just zonked out but actually comfortable. The nurses followed his instructions to the letter. It wasn't fun, obviously, but I felt like someone was really steering the ship through the rough recovery days.
Went in for a persistent stomach issue. Dr. Garre fixed it. Straightforward guy, clear advice. Parking at Apollo is still a nightmare, though.
I'd been feeling run-down for months, just blaming it on work stress. Finally saw Dr. Garre. He didn't rush me; he went through my history like a detective, asked about things I hadn't even thought were related—sleep, diet, the works. Ordered the right tests, no fluff. Called me himself with the results (iron was practically nonexistent). Started treatment, and I'm finally feeling like myself again. It was the thoroughness that made the difference.
