I have been a patient here as well as my family since 2007. She is a great doctor. Service is great and I have always been seen right away compared to other clinics. She might be quick sometimes but what ever she prescribes or diagnoses, she has always been right.

I was recommended to this Dr. 4 years ago by a friend whos daughter came here. I am very happy i made the switch! She is friendly and to the point. It does take a while to get through on the phone and the wait to be seen can get a lil long. but all worth the wait. I my son is now 5 years old and my newborn is now being seen by her. What i like best is how she talks to my son, opens him up. & when she seen my daughter she played and laughed with her before she started her check up, and informed me of what she was going to be checking and doing before she did it. highly satisfied

she refused to treatment to me due to lunch ,and never understood english ,and also wanted to lie when i started to record her statements ,and threatend to call police. i believe a doctor shouldnt act in a manner unprofessional and threatening. DO NOT GO THERE!!!!!!

I am completly dissapointed in the care that my children and I received while under Garvey Healthy Family.When we first met DR.Taikwel she was great ACTED like she really cared,took her time etc now whitin 2 months of being in her care she doeant give us the time a day,it takes us about 2 hours just to be seen even with an appointment,and she takes about a minute and then we are out she doesnt even hear me out,and once when i took my son for a rash she didnt even bother to look at the rash and just prescribed me a cream.I have had it,the staff is also rude and brush you off it seems like they just want to go home and dont even want to be there.I have recently change primary doctors and will NOT recommend you choose her or this clinic as your primary you will be disappointed.
