This guy is a moron. I took my 2-year-old nephew in for the flu. He sat on my lap while we waited in the exam room for the doctor. When the doctor came in, he slapped a hand on the exam table and said, "Up here, young man." I went to lift my nephew up and Dr Garver snapped, "He can do it!" How? How in the hell does a 2-year-old climb up on a tall ass exam table by himself? It was literally physically impossible. I felt like he was implying that I was coddling my nephew and guess what? 2-year-olds need to be coddled and helped, especially when they're at the doctor's office and said doctor is a first-class asshole. On Yelp right now trying to find someone else. read more

This guy is the WORST doctor in Great Falls!! An ego that does not end. We have been seeing Dr Garver for a few years for our daughter. We were recommended to him because of his holistic views toward medicine and hesitation to 'medicate' for everything. He was good in the beginning, however when we began seeing him regarding our daughter's depression, he was quick to try his 'therapy in a minute' speech with ridiculous views on how she can deal with her adolescent issues. He was as simple minded as to say she can get past her depression by 'choosing to let go' of the past. Really? He also wished to assign blame to the parents for our daughter's holding onto her issues and manifesting her emotional issues. He even had the audacity to suggest that one parent 'had their hands full' with the other parent in dealing with these issues and those of our daughter. We are both college educated people with degrees (one with 2 college degrees) and both work in the public sector in very respected and responsible professions. Garver treated us like we are low-life parents and as if he were an all-knowing hero in his field. We realize our own limitations and our own issues; however this man succeeded in making the parents (as well as our daughter) feel worse than when we came in. His job should be to support and guide parents and make corrections when necessary. He has a very 'weird' bedside manner and is clearly self-absorbed. I have dealt with troubled people for over 24 years in my career and, trust me, I know how to deal with emotionally despondent people and persons who are suffering from 'issues of the mind'. This man, Garver, clearly has never learned anything about tact and working 'with' parents!!!!! I have NEVER felt this way about any medical practitioner or anyone in a related field. Further, I am not one to fill out surveys or offer feedback in any service oriented encounter. I feel so strongly about our most recent visit to this man that I created a membership to this site so that I could offer this warning to other prospective clients. read more
