About Megan Brooke McGavern, DO

She also holds a Master of Science in epidemiology and preventive medicine. Dr. McGavern is board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and a Fellow of the American College of Physicians.

A love for working with adult patients and more complex medical issues make Dr. McGavern’s role as an internist one she thoroughly enjoys.

With an approach focused on treating others the way she would want to be treated in their shoes, Dr. McGavern’s goal is to support, encourage and guide her patients in the right direction.

Her bed side manner needs some work. I got the feeling she doesn't care about my struggles. Seems to have given up on me already and I am a new patient only seen her once in office and twice on the phone.
