Garvey Katherine Y MD

"Dr. Garvey completely redeemed my faith in Kaiser and Western Medicine. Once I was diagnosed and referred to Dr.Garvey, I was “quickly” scheduled for a consultation. I was impressed with the care and concern expressed by her team over the phone. My first meeting with Dr.Garvey was a full hour. She drew diagrams and explained everything I was experiencing in detail. She went back so far as to describe what I must have experienced in adolescence and it brought tears to my eyes. She 100% described everything that endometriosis with empathy. I felt as if everything finally made sense. I had one ovary with a mass the size of a softball and the other ovary with a adnexal torsion which resulted in necrosis. Dr.Garvey, her staff, the nurses and everyone at the surgery center were calm, collective, positive, kind, informative, professional and empathetic. I have never been so impressed with a doctor. I literally can’t say enough to describe how remarkable this doctor and her team are. If you need an endometriosis specialist, and are lucky enough to be referred to Dr.Garvey, I can assure you, you are in the best care possible! I only wrote “quickly” (above) in quotations because she tends to be very booked up but, she is worth the wait."

"Dr. Garvey performed my hysterectomy a couple months ago. I was unsure and scared, but she was amazing. She explained everything, answered my questions, and took great care every stop of the way. The whole process was smooth and I wish she could be my doctor for everything. I highly recommend her."

"Dr. Garvey performed my hysterectomy and explained everything I needed to know before, after, and on my surgery day. She is very skilled and knowledgeable, but also has a comforting and down-to-earth demeanor that made a big difference in my peace of mind. I had an enlarged uterus with fibroids and an endometrial cyst. I was happy to be able to have my surgery fairly quickly after my gynecologist discovered what was causing my dangerously heavy periods. My open hysterectomy actually had less blood loss than what I was experiencing monthly. Dr. Garvey and her surgery team did a wonderful job and I would recommend her to anyone who has endometriosis or fibroid problems. Thanks!"
