Dr. Garner has a wonderful relaxed bedside manner and made me feel comfortable. He listened to my concerns and answered all questions giving me the appropriate amount of time. His staff is friendly and helpful. I have not waited more than 5 minutes in the office.

Dr Garner is extremely good and he will take the necessary time to listen and answer anything you want to know. He delivered my first baby and I'm seen him again with my 2nd pregnancy. He will make you feel comfortable in all aspects. He will respect your desire to try natural methods to help in your delivery. You have to wait a little in the room, but it is worthy.... he takes his time with every patient and I appreciate that.

Dr. Garner is extremely kind. He will stay in the room with you as long as you need him to. He listens, is attentive, and tries his best to help you. He is very thorough. With that being said, you will have to wait a bit to be seen so make sure you take extra time off. It is worth the wait though. He also makes you feel comfortable during your exam. I never thought I would have a male gyno, but he is truly fantastic. He is also highly recommended by midwives, which made the decision to see him that much more clear for me. If you read this Dr. Garner thank you so much for everything!!!

Dr. Garner is an excellent doctor - caring, patient, knowledgeable, and confident. He is a good listener who takes his time when attending to patients. He is married with three daughters, and I think he truly cares about women. Dr. Garner recently became the Chief OB/GYN at Sarasota Memorial Hospital, so I think that shows he is also well-respected in his field. He is one of the few doctors in the Sarasota area that offer the possibility of a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) because I believe he truly cares about positive birth experiences for women. Being a VBAC-friendly doctor shows that he is willing to give extra time and take a small risk in order to put his patients first. During the birth of my son, I appreciated Dr. Garner being so patient and caring. He really respected my wishes and “birth plan.” I definitely recommend him to others! His new office is right next to the hospital, so that is nice for peace of mind.

I have been a patient of Dr. Garners since before he merged with his current practice. When we met, I was nervous because he looked younger then me - but I am glad I stuck with him. He was attentive, supportive, knowledgeable, helpful and he keeps his word. He has delivered both of my boys - and even though his current office now chooses to have a midwife on call, Dr. Garner makes a point to deliver all his babies. He even came from his FAMILY BREAKFAST on LABOR DAY to deliver me. I am forever grateful for such a wonderful, kind man. He has a wonderful sense of humor and makes office visits enjoyable. I know there are many choices out there for your specialist, but Dr. Garner will always have my vote. Highly recommend! :)

Dr. Garner was great! I have not been to the doctor as regularly as I should over the past 5 years, so I was nervous during my appointment. Dr. Garner was very patient in listening to all of my questions and made sure to address every concern. I had to ask several questions about what happens after my visit, ex. when do I get the results of my pap and other tests - and I felt like this was info that should have been offered without me asking. Also, I was given a sample of birth control and a script, but no instructions on when or how to take it or side effects etc. Overall my experience was great and the doctor was the best I could have asked for. I will definitely continue seeing him. The staff could have been a little more informative though.
