I won’t share details for privacy reasons, but I will never recommend Dr. Garvey. She realeased someone close to me from the hospital way too early because she had been treated for her primary condition and there was nothing more Dr. Garvey could do for her. 24 hours later we were back in the ER where we were told she should have never been released.

I went to Dr. Garvey after I had been told over the phone that I had breast cancer, as per my biopsy results. Avi My first impression of Dr. Garvey was that of an overworked, disgruntled, incredibly negative individual that sapped every amount of hope that I attempted to hold on to. She began by telling me that she doubted that I'd qualify for Medicaid, and that my financial concerns were not her problem. She made me feel as if I were destined for death. Avoid this person at all costs.

Where to begin... The fact that I almost died is the ringer. Sent home without antibiotics 3 days after a colon surgery in which I was told I would be in the hospital for at least a week, was rushed into emergency surgery after the first failed because my colon wasn't completely sealed and had a major infection. After she did the second surgery she was going to release me after 3 days when I had a raging infection in my abdomen. The nurses went up the chain to override her and saved my life!

We will never take foot anywhere near her office again. If you want to be talked down to, feel like you are annoying for anything you ask, then go to her and work with her office staff. They might even make you cry. We have never been treated with such unprofessionalism and inconsideration.

Dr Garvey is exactly who I wanted on my side when I was facing the unknown. Her skills, experience, and direct communication helped me know and feel that I was in good hands. I highly recommend her! She may come across as though she lacks emotion, but she does not!! Her job is to be factual and truthful so there are no questions. She does not sugar coat, but she does empathize. I'm so grateful to have her In my corner!

Once I had my surgery she was no where to be found. I get it was a "routine" surgery for her, but no surgery is "routine" for the person is getting the surgery. I was scared and in pain and received little to no help after. I ended up in the ER because I couldn't even get her office to call me back after being elbowed in the surgical site. I will NEVER go back to her.

Dr. Garvey is a serious doctor who really takes care of her patients. Pretty sure she saved my life two years ago. She does not sugar coat things, she just tells you how it is. Hospital staff are on there toes when she arrives. Thank you Dr. Garvey; I recommend you to everyone I know!!

Dr. GARVEY treated me for 7 broken ribs and lung and liver contusions, as well as 10 fractured vertebrae that came as a result of being bucked off of a horse. I appreciated her no nonsense approach. She was direct and to the point. I found her to be an excellent surgeon.

Dr. Garvey is thorough and efficient. She saved my father's life. He had pancreatitis and she was the er on call surgeon. She took unbelievable care of him. She spoke with him honestly and sternly and told him what he had to do to recover. He recently had pancreatitis again and Dr.Garvey is here for him again. We know she will be straight forward and tell him what he has to do to be healthier and gain strength back. He respects her candor and trusts her advice and instructions.
