I was so happy to see the Dr.He listened!!! Was calm in his approach and made the experience pleasant. Its been a long time since I had a Dr. who listened like that. He asked questions and generally seemed concerned to find answers if needed. Great visit and GREAT STAFF!

Dr. Garfinkel is simply the best doctor I've ever had. He always takes time to answer all my questions and he is extremely knowledgable. He offers multiple options and speaks in depth about each option's pros and cons. His bedside manner is the best I've experienced in the healthcare industry. Valley Medical Group is so very lucky to have him.

Excellent

Dr. Garfinkel is truly exceptional-not only in his care as an OB/GYN, but in how he approaches the whole picture of health. He takes the time to listen, explain thoroughly, and address all aspects of wellness. During my visit, he introduced a new medication and explained everything in clear detail, even providing written notes for me to take home and review. His thoughtful, patient-centered approach makes him stand out in every way.

I absolutely love Dr. Garfinkle! One of the smartest and most down to earth doctors that I've ever encountered. I followed him from his previous practice in [...] which is an hour away from my house. This new practice is even further but I'd follow him anywhere and recommend him 100/100 times to anyone that actually cares about their pregnancy and/or [...] health.
