Actual physical exam was limited to blood pressure check and blood check. The Wellness Exams seem to be a waste of time for both the physician and the patient. The only benefit is the opportunity to voice any concerns about my overall health. This was responded to very well.

- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/16/2025
Dr. Garven is wonderful. Even though I have only had three appointments with him, I felt like he knew who I was, and he put together that my husband is also one of his patients. It's clear that Dr. Garven really cares about his patents and establishing a good rapport with them. And that makes a huge difference. I feel comfortable asking questions, and I'm more likely to follow his advice because I am confident that he is tailoring his advice to me as a person. I especially appreciate that he takes his time and really listens to my concerns. He also does an excellent job explaining everything. He isn't dismissive or patronizing. He actually explains the latest research and scientific studies around conditions and treatments -which I appreciate very much. I feel so blessed to have found Dr. Garven. I am confident that I am receiving really amazing care and guidance. The Clinic is lucky to have him on its staff!

I've seen Dr. Garven for nearly a decade now, since before he came to the Clinic.
