An absolute joy! She actually spoke with me.
Extremely nice and comforting. Dr. Gavini answered every question I had and made sure I understood without making me feel uneducated. I would definitely recommend.
She was wonderful! I felt so comfortable with her as she is so personable and down to earth . She made sure to explain my diagnosis and that I understood it and answered all my questions.
Very Good Cardiologist.❤️🙌🏾🙌🏾
Very easy to talk to and to explain about your care
My first visit with Dr. Gavini, and for years I've been addressing concerns about my health by prior medical professionals. She briefly accessed me and told me a few things that had me leave the office with hope. I wish she could be my "all around Dr lol" Extremely knowledgeable, can't wait to see her again.
Very professional!
