Very personable and knowledgeable
Very personable. Knowledgeable and asked plenty of good questions to help me understand a plan action.
Every one was very nice five star
My appointment was scheduled for 8:10. I didn’t see the doctor until 8:40ish. My blood pressure went up.
Through, interest!!
She what's pleasant
I have never had a physician listen to me as well as she did today. She was thorough and so kind. She validated how I felt while instantly calming my fears. She made a plan quickly to check my concerns and I felt so relieved when I left there. Highly recommend her if you want someone to listen to you and actually hear you. The whole staff was so nice, efficient, and knowledgeable. I wish I could give a higher rating !
Dr. Gavini is excellent 100%
