Professional, efficient and effective! Definitely recommend. Went to 2 other dermatologists that wouldn’t remove a simple milia due to the closeness to my eye. Dr. Garvey handled it with ease.

Dr Garvey took her time and looking at the rash on my face she did not jump to any conclusions and decided to take a biopsy and send it to the lab and we both will find out what it actually is and how to treat it. Thank you Dr Garvey see you in a bit
