Dr. William Elwood Garrett Jr.

Such a down to earth person. He and his team done a wonderful job on repairing my devastating knee injury. Rest easy my friend!

I absolutely adored Dr. Garrett. I was referred to him when he was at UNC and I subsequently followed him back to Duke. He was always so caring and always went the extra mile or more to try to help me with my creaky knees. I always laughed that we discussed cars, football (I'm from Florida State, so those discussions were spirited, but with a lot of laughter and mischief waiting to happen, then eventually we'd get to discussing my knees). I'm so sorry to hear of his passing, he was such a...

He was one of the kindest doctors I ever had. Last time I saw him he put his hand on mine and smiled his sweet smile all the while knowing my situation was not good and he truly showed so much compassion in that one moment. Much more than most doctors I have ever known. He was a tremendous asset to Duke and a great doctor. I will never forget his kindness.

I remember the morning of my son Perrie's surgery I asked Bill if he was going to take good care of him. He said I'll do the best I can, but I'm a little hung over He was a great Dr. and always kind on the NHS soccer sidelines.

So sorry to hear about Dr Garrett's passing, he did 2 (or 3) of my knee surgeries and was always relaxed, funny and a joy to be around. I will miss as I'm sure his other patients will to.

I was very sadden to hear of the passing of Mr. Garrett. His warm and sincere smile was infectious. He had a way of making everyone feel special . Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and our prayers during this extremely difficult time. Lynn E. Graham and family

Billy was great friend and tennis partner ! He will be missed by family and friends ! My condolences to his family !

It is with great sadness I learned of Dr. Garrett's death. I had the immense pleasure of working with him as an operating room nurse for the better part of twenty five years. I enjoyed his sense of humor (always used to ask the new resident for a "becher rasp"), his stories, his professionalism, and his collegiality. I will miss him.
