My only disappointment is the doctor laughed at me when I presented my concerns over something new we had seen. She didn't do a full exam and essentially said we dont need her anymore because of having a neuroimmunologist at Vanderbilt and because the Trileptal Childrens Neurosciences practice put my daughter on is working. The practice as a whole has shown a lack of concern over my daughters condition. Doctors within the practice have painted me as an anxious mom in their reports which has caused a delay in my daughters care. There has been a misdiagnosis of FND and MS because they lack the ability to listen to both my daughter and I. Her scans were atypical of MS and they acknowledged that but still pushed forward with that diagnosis. Its sad and disheartening but to be laughed at when im just trying to get answers for something traumatic in our lives was callous.

We saw this provider when we lived in Minnesota. Had I realized it was the same provider I never would've scheduled. We will not be seeing her again.

The last three times we have seen dr Garg she has been dismissive and curt. I really tried to be understanding but this last time was very difficult and stressful. This last time she made my child feel bad about what was in his IEP, she did not care to understand the patients concern and point of view. She blamed the school when they wouldn't do what she asked. She argued with me about the dosage of medicine my child is on and only when she looked it up did she acknowledged that I was correct. She then told me he should actually be taking half of what he is on. She dismissed others professional opinions such as a nurse and paramedics that saw my child. We've seen several specialist at childrens and she has been the worst.

I had a list of questions going in to the visit. Dr. Garg answered all of them before I had the chance to ask. I love her willingness to do additional testing to make sure we have a proper diagnosis. I am thankful for her and her team.

I absolutely loved Dr. Garg. She listened and took in all of the things we have been noticing with our son and suggested additional testing to properly diagnose his situation.
