exceptional care.

I feel yes he shared his approach regarding shoulder but it was only after I questioned the treatment plan. no other treatment options were presented to me regarding my discomfort or what would be a plan B in how I can relieve discomfort and protect the shoulder. I was sent away with a Physio Therapy script.

*Dr. Gauvain was absolutely great. He was thorough, precise, friendly & very down to earth. *Dr. Gauvain @ initial eval gave me a good overall picture of the healing process & risks of surgery.

Before visiting UT Physicians, I went to the urgent car center to get my foot checked out. They did x-rays and told me that nothing was wrong with it. A few days later, the pain increased, so I went to my PCP, who told me to go to my ortho. Within a minute of speaking to Dr. Gauvain, he notified me that my foot was indeed, broke. I'm very grateful UT Physicians have doctors that can properly read an X-ray and care about their patients.
