Dr Garvey is equally professional and personable and clearly enjoys his job and that is what will keep me coming back for his care. I was nervous about having a male doctor at first but realized I’d be uncomfortable with any doctor dealing with my lady parts so the gender of the doctor ultimately doesn’t matter as long as I feel comfortable.

I came in to be seen when I was really nervous and worried about my blood pressure. I was afraid I'd be cast off as a "nervous new mom", but Dr. Garvey took me seriously, wanted to understand what I was experiencing, talked with me about my blood pressure, and put all of my fears at ease. I am so, so appreciative for this. I felt so incredibly relieved after this appointment and I've been able to be so much more present at home since I feel so much more relaxed and calm.

He was amazing. My PCP recommended him to me and even though I had to wait months for my appt it was worth it. He was very thorough and to the point and when I wasn’t sure about something he explained what his thoughts were and still recommended me to still seek out information. Gone to many Gyne appts and never have I been out less than an hour and schedule for an ultrasound within that week.

Disclosures

Timothy S. Garvey, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2021.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
