I have been a patience of Dr Jarvis for over 20 years. I like that I can talk to him and he listens. I have thyroid panel done every 6 months and see him if I have any other problems through out the year. It is great to have a doctor that listens, doesn't think I am crazy when I tell him something. Is very helpful to me understand everything. I ask a lot of questions and he answers them all. I will be his patience until he retires.
