She is amazing! I have previously been to a cardiologist and multiple other specialist, but she’s by far one of my favorite doctors. She took me seriously, was very thorough with what she wanted to do and how she explained things even if I was already aware. I have a loop recorder device in my chest and she was immediately wanting to switch my device to her office. I didn’t have to wait months to get seen and I go back in two weeks for testing with a follow-up right after. Everything is concise, explained, and either done/taken card of ASAP. Also, she understands PoTS patients well, which is something that isn’t very common. I would recommend Dr. Gavini to everybody!
