Dr. Megan McGavern is a very caring, professional, and approachable physician. She takes time to hear what you have to say, research what she does not know, and/or refer to a specialist that can assist with one's health issue. I have recommended Dr. McGavern to others as I feel she is invested in her patients overall health and wellbeing.
