Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have been going to Dr. Gavin for 10 years now and she is always wonderful. Without hesitation, she helped me when I was going through a very difficult time. She sat with me, listened and immediately took charge of a situation that very easily could have been brushed off as an issue for my primary MD to handle. She truly is an excellent provider and I have full trust in her care! I recommend her to all of my family and friends.

Dr Gavin is hit or miss with me. But the misses are enough that I am switching. She never seems to remember who I am or my past history. You do have a chart containing all of this...you should read up before walking into the room. Can be extremely condescending. Rushes appointments by interrupting me or assuming she knows what I’m about to say. If she could slow down and listen I think it would go a long way. I do not doubt her intelligence, she is extremely smart. But she needs to ease your mind when you have concerns, not brush them off and move on. I have been there 1-1.5 hours from waiting so long at least 3 times in my last pregnancy. The secretary Jean is extremely nice to your face...but is a bully to the other office staff. I couldn’t believe the rude things coming from her mouth and even worse being in front of patients. I could say say much more...but all that matters is I would NOT recommend her.

She is professional, engaging and intelligent. Her singular practice is a testament. You don’t need 5 doctors, you just need her. I gave birth to my second child with her, no drugs. She listened to my requests and honored them. Absolutely no complaints from me. Lol, until she told me I was advanced maternal age bc my daughter was due weeks after I turned 35... ??.

Went to see Dr. Gavin when I was pregnant from another obgyn that I had a lot of issues with, she was amazing! She put me at ease and informed me of so much that the other obgyn did not. Even now since I have had my daughter I am still going to her. I have recommended family to go to her because of how informed she is and how comfortable she made me feel.

Dr Gavin is such a fantastic doctor! My experience with her has been absolutely lovely. I transferred to her during the last trimester of my pregnancy and I'm so glad that I did. She is very caring, professional and extremely good at what she does. She put my mind at ease during the delivery. She made sure to honor my wishes as to how I wanted my delivery to go. I'm very happy with this doctor!

Dr. Gavin is an outstanding provider! I am pregnant with my first child and left my previous OB-GYN at 25 weeks due to lack of communication. Dr. Gavin and her staff do very well in explaining everything I have questions about (even dealing with my crazy first mom to be questions.) The office was very accommodating to getting me in with Dr. Gavin. Her office is definitely the right for me and I would recommend all my friends and family to her! Thank You Dr. Gavin and staff!

She is not at all happy about new patients, she seems to have a circle. If you're not her age or a friend of hers she has no problem talking to you as if you're an idiot. I came to her after having insurance issues with my previous OB being 14 weeks pregnant. I have a history of blood clots and was unsure what I could take for this. I called her wondering I could take, yes it is not my 1st pregnancy but I've never had pain like this. She asked if I was having a heart attack and told me to Google

I started seeing Dr. Gavin after conceiving my first child. As a first time mother I was eager for information and answers to questions. Dr. Gavin was demeaning and condescending with little more information than you can get from your average google search. When I had an emergency concern Dr. Gavin was more than displeased to have to return my phone call on a Saturday morning and had no issue with telling me so. I am now 5 months into my first pregnancy and left searching for a new OB.
