Dr. Garver is a wonderful doctor. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He has a wonderful bedside manner and really shows he cares. Even though I was not present when he circumsized my son, the nurses said how gentle and caring he is.

I think Dr Garver is an excellent doctor, but in my case he inserted his opinion about something that happened at another doctor's office that did not concern him, I thought it was unprofessional. He did not ask my side of the situation and took only what he had heard from the other doctor. Therefore I would say he did not get an accurate picture of the situation and formed an inaccurate "diagnosis" of the situation.

I saw Dr. Garver for 12 years and was heartbroken when he left his previous practice. I was so excited to find out that he stayed in the Pittsburgh area - finding a great gyn is hard to do. He always takes the time with you to make sure you understand everything AND follows up!

I have been a patient of Dr. Garver's for almost 10 yrs. now. We've been through so much together (lots of sickness during pregnancy)& he knows my medical/OB-GYN history well. When he moved out of his AGH practice I followed him to Cranberry not wanting to start over with someone else. Always gets back to me promptly when I call himself -not a receptionist or nurse. He's very respectful of you when examining you & makes sure to have a nurse present. Many of the newer drs. don't do that.

He is an excellent doctor who will take as long as necessary to make sure you are totally comfortable with everything. Never acts like he's in a hurry! He's just an all around one of a kind!!!

Dr Garver and his staff are the most caring wonderful ob/gyn doctors I've been to. He will sit and answer every question, never acts rushed and truly you can tell he is concerned about whatever you are speaking with him about. Love him and staff.....drive from New Castle to see him and don't mind at all.

Lifestages, the staff and Dr. Garver are excellent. They are very courteous and caring. Dr. Garver spends time going over everything with me to include proper nutrition, exercise, and other issues relating to women and our overall health. He takes the time to answer questions and explain answers and concerns.
