Each day, I am inspired by the kindness of my patients and their families.”

This sense of compassion extends beyond his patients. He is also grateful for the warm and supportive environment fostered by his colleagues, who welcomed him in and are a substantial reason he stays at at WashU Medicine. 

“I genuinely feel supported by my leadership team, and I feel greatly appreciated by my colleagues and patients, which is incredibly rewarding,” Garber shared. 

Outside of work, Garber has begun a new hobby, woodworking. He finds joy in crafting pieces of art from start to finish and welcomes the challenges that come with the creative process.
