Mabey R Garn MD

I chose Dr Mabey based on his excellent reviews across a lot of different sites. Specifically I was looking for a doctor to perform surgery and wanted someone I could talk to and get my questions answered first. Dr Mabey’s website says he performs surgery and his reviews comment on office consultations prior to every exam so it felt like a good fit. I called for an appointment and let them know I didn’t want an exam but did want to schedule time for a thorough conversation with the doctor. The visit started very well. The office staff was great and the doctor greeted me with a comforting touch to the back of my hand. There was no medical history form because the doctor takes his own history from each patient. Very refreshing compared to average doctors who don’t even read the forms. I was pretty happy going in. But it went down hill from there.
The office consultation is to get the doctor’s questions answered — not yours. He asked a few targeted questions to allow him to check a couple diagnosis boxes. He has his routine down. When I got my list of questions out we were out of time. He said he would like to do an exam. I said no I scheduled time to talk and I have some questions. He said we could talk some more when I come back after the tests he ordered. How is it he has time left in my appointment for an exam but not to answer my questions?
He told me he no longer performs surgery. Why does he think I would come back to discuss pre op lab work if he no longer performs surgery? Update your website doctor. I wouldn’t have wasted my time if your advertising didn’t incorrectly claim you perform surgery when you don’t.
A few other things I didn’t appreciate:
Doctors shouldn’t bring their religious beliefs into patient consultations.
Doctors shouldn’t dictate meds (HRT) but should answer questions and help patients make their own decisions.
Referrals should be made to offices that accept the patient’s insurance and there should be assistance getting them all scheduled not just 1.
And following me out asking repeatedly if I was happy with my appointment might eventually get me to say yes but doesn’t actually make me happy. Answering my questions would have but unfortunately he didn’t have time to do that even though it wouldn’t have taken longer than the exam he did have time for.
The diagnosis on my lab form was malaise and fatigue. I wasn’t unhappy or tired before talking to you doctor! Maybe if you’d ask what symptoms I’m experiencing you might have checked a box that meant something or ordered different tests.
This appointment was a total waste of time. 3 stars for the office staff and the routine that initially puts patients at ease. Too bad it’s just a routine he has mastered without any depth to the sincerity he tries to exude.
Stick to your research studies. That seems to be where your interest lies. Patients are people not guinea pigs and unlike rodents we don’t have time for wasted appointments.

I have been going to Dr. Mabey for the last ten years, since I was 16. I absolutely love this man. He makes it very comfortable and easy to talk to him. He actually takes the time out to sit down and speak with you. His appointments are always on time. I cant see myself going anywhere else! I have referred many of my friends to him and will continue to do so. Some woman are weary of going to to a man obgyn but Dr. Mabey is amaazing !!!

I have been seeing Dr. Mabey since about 1993. He is such a kind man and a knowledgeable doctor. His office is very accommodating & the wait is minimal.

Dr. Mabey is the best gyno I’ve had in my life. I admit, I was cautious about visiting an older male doctor, but he came so highly recommended that I figured I’d give him a chance. I’ve been going to him for 3 years now.
I am so glad I did! His staff is on the ball professional and polite. Every appointment is on time. He takes the time to talk to you and explain what is going on. Also, you can get an appointment within a day or two, unlike the factory line gyno clinics Las Vegas is known for.
For the past 10 years, I’ve dealt with mild to moderate dysplasia. Because I moved so often, each time was with a different doctor. Dr. Mabey has handled this go around with care and compassion. If I have to go through treatment again, I’m glad he’s by my side.
Your healthcare supersedes his religious and political beliefs and he will do what you think is best for your body.
I’ve recommended many people here and I recommend you.
