Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best OBGYN
I used Givens as my OBGYN for my 3rd pregnancy. She was always thorough with any complaints I had and always assured me when I had doubts. During labor, I ended up needing an emergency c-section. She came to check on me afterwards and even went straight to my husband after the surgery to assure me and baby were okay. Highly recommend

Excellent bedside manner
I was referred to Dr Givens to set up surgery etc. After some tests she agreed unfortunately surgery is a must . She explained everything and helped calm any fears as well made sure I knew of any and all risks. My wait time was not long and once in the exam room she was on top of things.. Surgery is scheduled soon and I feel very confident I have the right doctor for the job .

Love, Love, Love Dr. Givens. She is the most kind and caring GYN I have ever known. Her knowledge and professionalism are best in the business. She is easy to talk to, listens and has a way of making her patients very comfortable. I would recommend her any lady looking for an OB/GYN.

Although I am a new patient, this was my second appointment to see Dr. Givens. For first visit, I arrived half an hour early to complete medical history paperwork. On completing it and giving it to the receptionist, I waited two hours to see the doctor, but had to reschedule owing to another appointment. I was rescheduled for 8:15 this morning. Taken to an examination room, I was told that my paperwork from the previous visit could not be found. I informed the nurse that the receptionist had checked her computer screen when I entered, telling me that my information was complete and that no further paperwork would be required. She responded that what the receptionist’s computer showed was that the receptionist had received the paperwork when I completed it originally, but that now they couldn’t find it and that also Dr. Givens had called to say that she would not be in today. I told the nurse that this seemed like a haphazard system of office management and that I would not be back ever

Here for my annual checkup. The service is always excellent. Sometimes have a little wait but this is to be expected. I also work in patient care and things cannot always be put into a time slot. Everyone is professional at all times. Thank you for the wonderful service.
