Dr. McGavern is not a warm and fuzzy doctor. BUT I LOVE HER. She is straight to the point, she listens to me, and when I have needed a softer approach she has been there for me. I absolutely love her blunt and no nonsense demeanor. I truly think she is amazing. She is just too hard to get into but that isn't her fault.

Preventive medicine is what I strongly follow. The doctor suggested several preventive procecures to get appointments for. The doctor didnt seem interested in discussing aging symptoms.
