Where had Dr. McGavern been?! She was so detailed, listened to all of my concerns, swiftly took action. I wish I had found her two years ago when I first moved to NN.

Knowledgeable, thorough and personable. She is an outstanding physician even takes the time to educate during the appointment. If you have to wait she is well worth the wait. I have complete confidence in her medical expertise. Riverside is lucky to have her affiliated with them.
