August 2023
*Dr. Gavin is knowledgeable, kind, interactive with both me & my husband. He hears me & makes necessary changes in my treatment to find the best combination for my condition. I DO feel empathy for the young doctors & nurses, who are having to provide medical care in this time/age; being allotted "20 min." to go through everything & then sending out these questionnaires to "judge/rate" them.
August 2023
Dr. Gavin especially caring and informative and very good listener

Dr. Gavin is very down to earth - he listens intently and explains things in a way that isn't intimidating or confusing for those of us who are not well-versed in medical terminology. He is patient and doesn't barrel through questions, all while leaving room for you to voice your concerns. Highly recommended - overall, a pleasant experience.

April 2023
I have my chart and this was my first visit with Dr. Gavin. He didn't have all of my records and I signed a health release again to have them sent. Also we were waiting on lab reports to come back I had a chance to ask a lot of questions whereas with my former rheumatologist would never answer any of my questions or concerns. I feel as though Dr.Gavin is a very thorough doctor who explains everything, and he uses my chart. I am very happy with him. I look forward to long relationship with him concerning my health.I have already been bragging about my excellent care.

January 2023
This provider is amazing, open to discussion with me as a client as a human being not just "another patient or number"he addresses my concerns for both health and medication and provides me with options to make the best informed decision for myself whenever possible. He is informative, respectful and shows care throughout the visit. Very importantly, he is open to the ever changing and evolving field of health and medicine with ethical consideration provided throughout. He comes across non judgmental nor dismissive and that appears to be more difficult to find in a provider these days. He's amazing and I have personally shared my experiences with others of similar health conditions and I highly recommended him for anyone facing Rheumatology concerns/issues.

July 2022
This RA doctor is awesome. It's been a long time since I've had confidence in a doctor but he knocks it out of the park. It's relieving to have a doctor actually listen, discuss, be open minded, up to date on newer methods of treatment, and not dismiss you just bc you don't fit neatly into one single box. VCU (C.A.R.E. Center) has one kick butt Rheumatologist in their practice.
