Feb 2025Visits either Dr Girard are always 2 way. I have liked that he listens to me and what I have to say or ask before just telling me like some other Drs do. He is awesome!!!
Verified patient
Feb 2025Very professional and helpful.
Verified patient
Feb 2025The Dr was very good at listening to my concerns. I didn't really get an answer as to what to do about the bruising on my arms, just that it would take time for it to go away. The problem with that answer is that if I get touched with any slight force the bruising gets worse.
Verified patient
Feb 2025Great care
Verified patient
Feb 2025Dr Girard was very attentive, listened to my concerns, decided what he thought caused the sudden pain in my neck, shoukders, upper back & chest. He prescribed a 6 day steroid regimen that he thought would ease the pain & take care of the problem. He reminded me to take the entire set of pills as directed. He asked if I had any questions.

Apr 2024When lived in NVA my doctor was part of the INOVA system and when I moved to Oak Island I did not think I could find a doctor like him who I trusted with my health. Well I did find a doctor in the NOVANT system I trust just as much as my former doctor. Dr.Girard took care of me, he was upbeat, and I felt cared for when walked to my car. Everybody in the doctors office has always been professional and caring. I cannot ask for better medical service. I trust the care they give me or refer me too.
