ABOUT DR. GAVIN

BACKGROUND

Dr. Gavin made the decision to leave General Surgery in 2019 and focus exclusively on treating vein disease. This decision was motivated by her wanting to spend more time with my family (husband Mark, daughter Jackie, sons Grayson, and Liam).

She has found treating vein disease to be her new passion.

“I bring compassion and empathy to the bedside as I have suffered from venous insufficiency myself and have found relief with treatment. ”
