Rohit Garg, MD

Dr. Garg was clearly very knowledgeable, but very quiet and I would say a bit passive in our conversation. He sized up my symptoms quickly, and it was clear that he wasn't recommending surgery or any other "significant" treatment ... but it was only by asking specific questions that I was able to fully understand his conclusions. Honestly I learned more from reading the pamphlet on the desk about my "trigger finger" condition, prior to his coming into the room ... and I only came away with specific advice on massaging my hand below the base of the finger because I told the doctor what I'd read in that pamphlet and coaxed that suggestion out of him. I'm sure if I ever needed surgery he'd be excellent, I just wish he'd put more effort into educating me. My takeaways were basically (a) nobody quite knows what causes this condition, (b) a splint or massage might help it magically go away, and (c) the whole mechanism of the finger is like a pulley which is why, counter-intuitively, I need to massage below the finger and not on the affected joint. (That last part was in the pamphlet and really helped me understand what's going on.)

Perfectly good provider for everything I needed.

While for some reason they were terribly late, 1hour, the OT from the practice stepped in and started the intake and provided valuable information. Great teamwork!

Dr. Garg was very thorough in explaining my surgery.

Visit went well, questions answered, not rushed. Considering he was over 30 minutes late, he did not rush and did apologize for being late. Having been a M. A. for 30 years , I understand how doctors can get tied up with difficult cases. [redacted]

I have found my relationship with Dr. Garg to be all I expected &. hoped it would be. There were complications with my own health while planning surgery, after my fall in [redacted]. Dr Garg gave me updated surgical info & more than adequate time to consider my decision whether to go forward with surgery or to try OT/PT instead. Dr Garg also reminded me regularly that the impact of having & healing from the surgery, at this later date, after my broken bones had already mended naturally, would be a challenge physically for me over a prolonged recovery period. [redacted] I am very grateful to Dr. Garg for his caring patience as I came to realize my own best choice, for my life. I am continuing gratefully to work with the MGH PT/OT resources made available to me to learn how to re-build the overall muscle & limb strength I have sadly lost during my aging process, [redacted] A HUGE Thank You to All who are helping me at MGHB! [redacted]

Dr. Garg is courteous, kind, and extremely competent. I feel totally confident under his care! After reviewing my X-rays, he gave me a script for OT. During my visit he sent in an Occupational Therapist who provided me with a few exercises to begin immediately to relieve my pain.

The appointment was probably 1 of the quickest ones I've ever had at MGH since I've worked there for over 40 years . I don't even think I was in that exam room for10 minutes maybe between 5 and 8 but definitely not 10. It felt a little cold. But I wasn't there to make friends

Seemed very knowledgeable and explained everything thoroughly to me in a way I understood.

I am very pleased with the Doctor "s Notes from the Care Team.

He was very professional, courteous and attentive.

Awesome team very respectful. I appreciate their service.

Dr GARG is a skilled and courteous professional

Everyone is so friendly and professional.

Very thorough and answered any questions I had.

The clerk was less than expected

The Dr was very helpful

Dr. Garg was was very courteous and knowledgeable and allowed me to express myself and my concerns freely. I felt comfortable having an open dialogue but also ultimately trusted his expertise and judgement after our discussion.

Vey professional and courteous.

Hi, Dr. Garg is always prompt and respectful and I feel good talking to him. Thank you.

Very professional and knowledgeable, courteous and attentive.

I appreciated the honest answers

It was truly awesome

I want to say that the person who booked my appointment was timely and very caring and did a fabulous job. The doctor and the fellow I saw were great. The medical assistant who brought me in the room, who set up my appointment to get my brace, was also very helpful and I felt very cared for and they answered all my questions. Thank you.

Was xrayed in my hand before seeing the doctor. That procedure went well and results were mentioned by the doctor during appointment.

I had an excellent visit and all my questions were answered to my satisfaction

So the doctor himself was great. He explained everything. [redacted]

It was awesome. Obviously, it was the first time I ever went to an American hospital or first time for a serious injury. And it was very quick. Everyone was very nice, very polite. Everyone was busy, but it still felt like everyone had time for you. All around, wonderful time at the hospital. Have no complaints. Great job all around.

Knowledgeable and efficient

Great. Very happy.

Excellent.

Very good communication between staff

Always a very positive experience when I am seen in this department. Very caring and supportive.

He at least listened to my concerns as this was a second opinion visit for a surgery from another Dr that has not healed correctly !! I feel he is trying to get to the reason for my continued pain and inability to be able to do my crafting

The doctor explained everything very clearly and was very patient and helpful in answering my questions.

He seemed very rushed and didn't even acknowledge my shoulder wound.

The provider was running behind and I was not advised as to how long the weight would be. I also felt that he didn't take enough time with me to explain everything.

Very kind and informative.

First time I went there but the provider is very nice

This is my first appointment with Dr. Garg and I felt as though I was annoying him and that I was an inconvenience.

Excellent care given

Dr. Garg is an excellent doctor. I'm so pleased that I was assigned to him. Also, I'm so blessed to be a part of the Mass General family. And thank you so much for all your help.

Dr Garg became my new hand doctor after Dr [redacted] retired. Nice to have another caring doctor discuss options to treat symptom with hand/elbow

I would see the same doctor again.

Dr. Garg was calm and gave me time to ask questions even though my appointment slot was only 15 minutes

Dr. Garg was very sympathetic to my hand problem. [redacted] He told me how it could be repaired and the consequences for the care after. In other words, I wouldn't be able to drive for six weeks. He was very thorough and I appreciated that.

I was very impressed with him and would highly recommend him to others

Doc. Was courteous and thorough

He is a really good doctor and he cares

Offer me exceptional medical care and other services for my rehabilitation.

Had been with him before, knew my history. Very direct and positive

The Dr. was kind and professional and I would definitely use him or recommend him to someone else.

While I realize I didn't have a major injury, the orthopedic surgeon spent less than 3 minutes with me [redacted]. He didn't explain my fracture, limitations, appropriate activity and bracing. When, I asked questions, he gave one-word answers or looked at me like I am crazy for some weird reason. [redacted] he couldn't get rid of me quick enough. [redacted]

Friendly and professional

Good experience

Overall my experience was very good. But I asked for a referral to an at home visit by OT & a HHA since I have a fx'd R wrist- a referral for 'home care' was ordered so I was seen by an RN which I really didn't need. The RN had to then get an order for PT, OT & a HHA. It all worked out in the end but I really didn't need a visit by the nurse.

I feel at ease with him

Excellent care as usual...

Need to listen and anwers questions be more on time

Dr Garg is attentive, professional and kind

Dr Garg is wonderful

The MA was very friendly and put me at ease. The Resident was very nice. Dr. Garg explained everything in great detail.

Dr Garg is great , listen and explains what can and can't be done .

Dr Garg is an excellent surgeon. There isn't anyone I would trust doing surgery on my hand than him. He is professional courteous, and knows his stuff. I'm happy to have him as my surgeon.

The PA & Dr were great. The receptionist is unfriendly and borders on rude.

My experience was satisfactory for me.

I have several doctors within this practice, all affiliated with Mass General. I am very pleased with all of them and the office. They're very prompt with giving me the appointments and reminders, and I'm very comfortable whenever I come there for any one of the doctors and providers. Thank you.

All good

The staff were well organized. Took me on time had xrays and then saw the md. Was out within 30 minutes

I asked about my left hand pain but he focused mostly on my right hand, no treatment for my left hand that is still bothering. I wish he focused on it as well since I told him it is painful!

No idea why I have to complete the iPad questionnaire every visit but my answers are never referenced and they are dirty

It was so busy that day but everyone was so calm and relaxed. Very steady group!

Good meeting

Friendly and knowledgeable

I received great care.

Provider was easy to communicate with and gave me the options for ongoing treatment

Dealing with a typical surgeon not high on empathy

I am completely happy with all of the treatment & care I receive @ MGH.

The nurse and doctors were patient with me during my visit.

Dr is fabulous

Thank you Dr Garg, [redacted], and team - appreciate your care and support

I felt comfortable with him.

Dr. Garg and his entire team always make [redacted] feel like a VIP. Can't imagine this journey without them!

I felt rushed during my time with the provider and wasn't confident that he fully examined me. [redacted]

Yeah, very knowledgeable, very well aware of what's going on. Very attentive. I was given very good care, and everything was actually pretty good.

Initially, I saw an assistant to Dr. Garg who asked me about my thumb problems and reviewed my medical history. She also did some testing on both thumbs and explained what her thoughts where on what was going on. She stated that she would discuss her findings with Dr. Garg . Dr Garg and his assistant came back shortly. He examined my thumbs and did testing before giving me his diagnosis. His recommendation was to give me cortisone injections in both thumbs. I agreed to the shots and asked if they could be done that day. Dr. Garg did an excellent job at explaining the procedure and what he was doing as he was doing it. Both he and his assistant did a great job!

Both Dr. Garg and his intern were excellent and very nice and easy to deal with. I would definitely want to see them again for other orthopedic issues.

I am very happy with the care I received by Dr. Rohit Garg and his staff. He is very competent and I appreciate the care I received during my first surgery, the complication due a new accident and the second surgery... The set back the treatment he had provided

Very professional

Since this was my first visit with Dr. Garg, the answers to the questions were based on first impression, which was very good. [redacted]

I really like this Dr. and the Occup Therapist and they are new providers to me. I have a good plan of care and I very pleased to have the assessment from this Doctor.

Couldn't ask for anyone better and I really mean that

He is attentive and very awesome!

He could have engaged more. Was not conversational.

Very satisfying.

The Physician and his team were knowledgeable and explained everything about my condition and surgery to me.

Dr. Garg terrific. Great doctor and kind

Just appreciate that I got excellent care in a very timely manner

I was in the ER for a fall which gave me a bad blackeye. They took scans and determined that it looked much worse than it was. Now on the mend! No pain!

Dr. Garg was very reassuring about the condition of my wrist and explained the diagnosis clearly to me. I had a wonderful experience in so far as a hospital visit can be.

He was knowledgeable and sympathetic to my needs, and questions regarding pre surgery

Dr. Garg did a good job, very good job of answering all my questions. [redacted]

Good Service

I had a very good experience with Dr Garg.

Dr. Garg is professional and knowledgeable as well as those who work with him. I know I will need surgery in the near future and although not looking forward to this, I know I am in good 'hands'.

My appointment was 10 minutes long, I went in with a frozen finger. Within 10 minutes I was walking out the door. I felt like it was all about production. [redacted]

Dr. Garg spend a great deal of time with me explaining what he suspects....then sent me for tests which confirmed his concerns. I have a follow up to discuss what's next

Kind, helpful, caring, prompt, knowledge, and respectful.

Everything was good.

Dr Rohit Garg is an excellent listener. He did not interrupt me even though I had a lot of information to get out. He is very informed on my medical history which is why he is a top class medical professional.

Great job

Dr. Garg was very personable. Answered all of my questions. Explained everything in an understandable manner. I would definitely recommend him to everyone who would need his services.

Cared about my hand. Personable and caring.

extremely at ease with this provider.

Knowledgeable - pleasent

Did a great job didn't feel rushed

Very efficient.

Needs to spend a little more time with patient and gain knowledge of medical history

Always a pleasure seeing this doctor

Dr garg is very nice and does a great job

Dr Garg and Dr [redacted] are good listeners and very patient. [redacted]
