Public Speaking

Several of our physicians are trained promotional speakers for a variety of pharmaceutical companies. These doctors have been chosen because of their experience and expertise in their field and because of the respect amongst their peers. We believe this offers us the opportunity to meet with and discuss the current issues in our field with the primary thought leaders and researchers of psychiatry. Additionally it allows us to interact on a local, regional and national level with our psychiatric peers.

Dr McGivern has been great. I feel like she takes time to listen and understand how I am feeling.
I have been A patient of Dr. McGivern’s since 2007. She has been very professional as well as very kind, and always kept me on track. I am very grateful for her and highly recommend her.
I've had Dr McGivern for at least 20 years. I was diagnosed with BiPolar 30+ years. And before having Dr McGivern I had several other Psychiatrist that didn't do any good for me all they did was put me on a lot of prescriptions and not listen to how I felt. Dr McGivern has done so.much for me, showing me a lot of compassion and listening to me at every appointment...she helped get me on the right combination of meds, and helped me feel normal again
Dr. McGivern has saved my life on multiple occasions and is one of the few people on the entire planet who have my full trust.
