Dr. Garrett believes that every person has an opportunity to return to health, and he is living proof that this is possible. After his military and college football experience, Dr. Garrett experienced constant pain and significant weight gain (over 100 pounds). The pain was almost completely debilitating.

He is most thankful for his pain management physician, Dr. Robert Spicer, who has provided incredible medical care and guidance throughout his journey. Dr. Garrett’s experience with Dr. Spicer and his complete confidence in Dr. Spicer’s ability are the reasons why Dr. Garrett asked Dr. Spicer to serve as the Medical Director of Return to Health.
