She's fantastic. I had a couple questions and concerns about Psoriasis and how it was affecting me. She made it really easy for me to understand. She gave me a few different options at different price ranges. I decided to see if the cheaper options would work well enough for me. Luckly they have been. I have been with her for a few years now and just recently noticed psoriasis starting on my scalp. She gave me prescriptions especially made for those conditions. Dr. Garvey is so knowledgeable in her field. I would recommend her to anyone who needs help with psoriasis.
