I have complete trust with sound experience with Dr Garg's expertise and care. Nerve injuries don't repair overnight... more realistically two , three, four years due to the delicate nature of nerves restructuring. I have an open door invite from Dr Garg if medical concerns arise. [redacted]

Dr. Garg was so thorough, he found the correct diagnosis for the reason I have pain! Thus, I am receiving proper treatment. I would highly recommend him. [redacted]

Dr. Garg was clearly very knowledgeable, but very quiet and I would say a bit passive in our conversation. He sized up my symptoms quickly, and it was clear that he wasn't recommending surgery or any other "significant" treatment ... but it was only by asking specific questions that I was able to fully understand his conclusions. Honestly I learned more from reading the pamphlet on the desk about my "trigger finger" condition, prior to his coming into the room ... and I only came away with specific advice on massaging my hand below the base of the finger because I told the doctor what I'd read in that pamphlet and coaxed that suggestion out of him. I'm sure if I ever needed surgery he'd be excellent, I just wish he'd put more effort into educating me. My takeaways were basically (a) nobody quite knows what causes this condition, (b) a splint or massage might help it magically go away, and (c) the whole mechanism of the finger is like a pulley which is why, counter-intuitively, I need to massage below the finger and not on the affected joint. (That last part was in the pamphlet and really helped me understand what's going on.)

Perfectly good provider for everything I needed.
2026-05-28

While for some reason they were terribly late, 1hour, the OT from the practice stepped in and started the intake and provided valuable information. Great teamwork!
2026-05-25
-
Dr. Garg was very thorough in explaining my surgery.
2026-05-24
-
Visit went well, questions answered, not rushed. Considering he was over 30 minutes late, he did not rush and did apologize for being late. Having been a M. A. for 30 years , I understand how doctors can get tied up with difficult cases. [redacted]

I have found my relationship with Dr. Garg to be all I expected &. hoped it would be. There were complications with my own health while planning surgery, after my fall in [redacted]. Dr Garg gave me updated surgical info & more than adequate time to consider my decision whether to go forward with surgery or to try OT/PT instead. Dr Garg also reminded me regularly that the impact of having & healing from the surgery, at this later date, after my broken bones had already mended naturally, would be a challenge physically for me over a prolonged recovery period. [redacted] I am very grateful to Dr. Garg for his caring patience as I came to realize my own best choice, for my life. I am continuing gratefully to work with the MGH PT/OT resources made available to me to learn how to re-build the overall muscle & limb strength I have sadly lost during my aging process, [redacted] A HUGE Thank You to All who are helping me at MGHB! [redacted]

Dr. Garg is courteous, kind, and extremely competent. I feel totally confident under his care! After reviewing my X-rays, he gave me a script for OT. During my visit he sent in an Occupational Therapist who provided me with a few exercises to begin immediately to relieve my pain.
2026-05-17
-
The appointment was probably 1 of the quickest ones I've ever had at MGH since I've worked there for over 40 years . I don't even think I was in that exam room for10 minutes maybe between 5 and 8 but definitely not 10. It felt a little cold. But I wasn't there to make friends

He at least listened to my concerns as this was a second opinion visit for a surgery from another Dr that has not healed correctly !! I feel he is trying to get to the reason for my continued pain and inability to be able to do my crafting
2026-03-23
-
The doctor explained everything very clearly and was very patient and helpful in answering my questions.
2026-03-19
-
He seemed very rushed and didn't even acknowledge my shoulder wound.
2026-03-16
-
The provider was running behind and I was not advised as to how long the weight would be. I also felt that he didn't take enough time with me to explain everything.
2026-03-16

Very kind and informative.
2026-03-15

While I realize I didn't have a major injury, the orthopedic surgeon spent less than 3 minutes with me [redacted]. He didn't explain my fracture, limitations, appropriate activity and bracing. When, I asked questions, he gave one-word answers or looked at me like I am crazy for some weird reason. [redacted] he couldn't get rid of me quick enough. [redacted]

2026-01-26

Overall my experience was very good. But I asked for a referral to an at home visit by OT & a HHA since I have a fx'd R wrist- a referral for 'home care' was ordered so I was seen by an RN which I really didn't need. The RN had to then get an order for PT, OT & a HHA. It all worked out in the end but I really didn't need a visit by the nurse.
2026-01-24

I asked about my left hand pain but he focused mostly on my right hand, no treatment for my left hand that is still bothering. I wish he focused on it as well since I told him it is painful!
2025-11-27

No idea why I have to complete the iPad questionnaire every visit but my answers are never referenced and they are dirty

Initially, I saw an assistant to Dr. Garg who asked me about my thumb problems and reviewed my medical history. She also did some testing on both thumbs and explained what her thoughts where on what was going on. She stated that she would discuss her findings with Dr. Garg . Dr Garg and his assistant came back shortly. He examined my thumbs and did testing before giving me his diagnosis. His recommendation was to give me cortisone injections in both thumbs. I agreed to the shots and asked if they could be done that day. Dr. Garg did an excellent job at explaining the procedure and what he was doing as he was doing it. Both he and his assistant did a great job!
2025-10-21

Both Dr. Garg and his intern were excellent and very nice and easy to deal with. I would definitely want to see them again for other orthopedic issues.
