Dr. Gavini was a breath of fresh air in the way she discussed my concerns and gave me good advice to implement before my next checkup. She's very good at making her patients feel comfortable. I didn't feel rushed out and she listened completely. Looking forward to seeing her again for my next check-up in one year.
