Dr Garten did a full NAD+ series on me and I feel so energized and clear. My daily afternoon sleepiness is gone and I joke with my wife that I feel like Neo in the Matrix.
Dr Garten walked me through each step - which really was 5 sessions of infusion - and helped me understand what I would experience. The infusions take some time but the room is super comfortable and relaxed.
I wouldn’t have done the treatment without his guidance, knowledge and confidence.

Dr. Garten rocks! Never had a torn muscle before and hope I never do again…an unexpected tennis injury hit me hard and I needed a quick diagnosis and recovery plan. Dr. Garten arranged to see me the day after my injury, zeroed in on my injury and gave me the bad news but also gave me a recovery plan that would have me back in action quickly.

-Ken G.

Dr Garten is great. It was my first time getting seen for long standing shoulder injuries. I’ve been to many doctors for various sports injuries and he is easily among the best sports medicine doctors I’ve seen. He did a thorough evaluation and explained everything in detail. Would highly recommend him to anyone

-Eric B.

Dr. Garten is the best. I had been dealing with hip pain for over a year and had been misdiagnosed by other doctors. He was able to ascertain quite quickly that I had a labral tear. Since our visit, I have had surgery. I am back to my normal activities and so grateful to Dr. Garten’s diagnosis.

-Theresa f.

Dr. Garten was very friendly and I just loved his demeanor. I went over a brief history of my running, and he had me hop up on the table and lie down. It took him literally three minutes to hit the pain points. He mentioned he reviewed my MRI and went over what was ailing me, but had wanted to check the spots first. It was SUCH a relief to hear. It was more a relief to hear that my injury wouldn't require surgery, and that a steroid pack plus PT should resolve it. I'm certainly a happy customer, because of the service I received and also the immediate result of knowing what was wrong. I would refer Dr. Garten to anybody.

-KEVIN G.

I can't say enough about the skill set, therapeutic approach, and bedside manner of Dr. Garten, In the years I spent training for and competing in triathlons, I also spent an equal amount of time getting treated for chronic shoulder, knee, and wrist injuries. Thanks to Dr. Garten's treatment and recommendations. I was able to successfully complete The Escape From Alcatraz Triathlon. As someone who works in the medical industry, it's extremely comforting to know the consistent quality of care (which is research and technology driven) that I'Ll receive each and every time I see Dr. Garten. Thank you for helping me power through all my races_you are truly the best at what you do!

-KAREN C.

Both my husband and I have been seeing Dr. Garten for over 5 years and can't say enough about this patient, calm, knowledgeable doctor! He listens to me and diagnoses my injuries perfectly every time. I am an avid runner and have experienced injuries all across the spectrum. from a slipped disc to a sprained ankle to even just a fainting spell He knows how to treat every injury and doesn't push surgery. I saw multiple Sports Medicine Doctors before Dr. Garten and they just don't compare. Lastly, Dr. Garten's office manager, Jay. is really easy to reach and communicate with and always eager to help. I give Dr. Garten 5 stars out of 5 every visit!

-STEFFI R.

This office is AMAZING! The staff is so warm and welcoming. Dr. Garten is very knowledgeable and had no problem explaining the root of my issue in depth. I left my visit newly educated on specific muscles in my back and why they do what they do. Highly recommend this office! Also, what wait time? As soon as I walked in, the paperwork that needed to be signed awaited me on the check-in desk. As soon as I completed signing the forms, I was immediately walked back into a room.

-T'SHEILA M.

I can't say enough about Dr. Garten and his staff. Dr Garten has treated 5 out of 6 of our immediate family members as well as numerous friends over the years, He and his staff are consistently efficient and extremely pleasant to interact with. His vast medical knowledge, attentiveness, and heartwarming humor are a bonus, especially for a mom of four who could easily take up a second residence at Paragon with the numerous amount of ailments and injuries we've sustained! Dr. Garten has been an absolute blessing .

-TORI B.

Dr. Garten is extremely knowledgeable. He's always up on the latest technology, tests, improvements, trials & knows the body and mechanics incredibly well. Dr. Garten finds solutions for any body part, joint, bone. muscle. tendons, blood, spasms, etc., virtually everything. He provides options that are best for the patient, fast and effective recovery, utilizing the latest technology and medical methodology. He is a top diagnostician, has a wonderful bedside manner, and is committed to his patients.
