Julie Gavin, MD

I started seeing Dr. Gavin because my previous OBGYN moved to a location that proved to be too far for me to travel. I’ve been going to her a few years now and honestly, I’m not very happy with her. She had ordered an IUD (over $ 200) for me before she got blood work back. The bloodwork indicated I was menopausal and I did not need the IUD. She made me pay for it anyway. It was a relatively common one (Mirena) which I know could have been used for someone else. She has also tried to push me to take hormones when I have told her I did not want them. Yesterday, I had my annual and she rushed the appointment so much when I asked her to slow down she became annoyed with me. I’ve been going through an incredible amount of stress and changes in my life and have not had the chance to find a new provider. Now is that time.

Dr. Gavin is amazing. She has always been nothing but helpful, understanding, and approachable since I began seeing her as a teenager. I’ve recommended her to so many family members and friends, and I will continue to do so. I refuse to get a new doctor in the city I attend college in because I know they won’t stack up to Dr. Gavin!

I have been a patient of Dr. Gavin for 6 years now, including during her transition from a larger office to her own private practice. I chose to stick with Dr. Gavin through the move because she has always been friendly and personable, and at the same time, quick and efficient. Getting an appointment in the office is always relatively easy, and if I need one within a week, they usually make it happen (sometimes I forget to schedule my annual, oops!).
She has been very helpful with changing my prescriptions when one does not work out for me, and this is much appreciated. Her office staff are also very friendly and quick with what they do!
The office itself is modern yet inviting. There are always water bottles stocked in the fridge, as well as having cookies and coffee available (cookies sometimes, not always). I love the photographs that are in the exam rooms! They are of newborn babies and the like; quite tasteful and well done. They are a nice touch compared to the usual medical information posters that are usually up, although those are present as well.
I am certain that I will be sticking with Dr. Gavin for quite some time!
