I liked Dr Garringer very much, seemed very knowledgable, but didn't talk over my head, drew a picture of the heart and explained exactly what AFIB was. Asked me many questions to understand how long I have been having symptoms, I was very pleased with the visit, he gave me a plan and explained everything very well.
