Garber Richard B MD

After many years w Dr Garber as our pediatrician he was rude and condescending to me one last time, and so we have now moved to another practice and are very happy. We stayed because although his bedside manner has always left a lot to be desired, he is apparently is a very smart doctor. And the nurses and office staff are great. Sometimes that just doesn’t cut it though. We are not a family who visits often-​he actually used to comment that we see him almost exclusively at well child visits only. We are not parents who fuss over nothing. Be warned, if you haven’t explained your concerns in 10 words or less he will cut you off and tell you he doesn’t have time to listen to you. As our children are now adolescents we want a doctor who they can feel comfortable enough to chat with and ask questions. Dr Garber is not the man for this! I know of 2 other families who have changed practices because of Garber and countless others who switched to other doctors within his office. As far as the other docs at F’ham pedi go-​they are great, the women especially. Unfortunately for us Garber was the only one taking new patients all those years ago when we had our first child!
