Dr. Gavini is awesome. She explains everything so that you’re able to understand exactly what is going to happen.
She was very helpful in my visit. She explained all of my results to me.
Dr. Gavini was so warm and friendly and personable. She was very knowledgeable and explained my course of care very thoroughly. I look forward to her continuing care and my full recovery.
From the moment Dr. Gavini walked into the room I knew I was in the right place.. she had warmth, she had a smile and introduced herself .She was PRESENT in our conversation, she pulled up her chair and we had direct eye contact ..SHE LISTENED TO ME and she made me feel at ease.. I was not rushed...THAT IS HOW IT SHOULD BE...I felt seen and heard..she is a GEM!
Dr Gavini and her staff exceeded my expectations in their efficiency and kindness. I am so glad that my NP Anna Truit/and Dr Shauvon Cotton referred me to Dr Gavini.
Genuine, thorough, and thoughtful!
