He subsequently received his BS degree in Nursing along with an MS degree in Social Psychology at University of Utah in 2000.

    I would not recommend this provider to others. He is apathetic, unresponsive and lacks the common courtesy and professionalism to convey test results. I contacted his office on 4 four separate occasions pertaining to my test results. He failed to respond all four times leaving me uninformed and in complete limbo regarding our sons diagnosis. As of todays date we still are unaware of the results of the tests conducted.

    He spent a lot of time with us, but I wish we had another half hour to ask questions about alternate treatments or consequences of slowing down the treatment. It's a major diagnosis and I wish we were able to really hash things out.

    Tim Garvey is a great care provider! He is super helpful, listens extremely well- takes notes which emphasizes that he listens and is caring, takes lots of thought into your needs, and explains everything is such a great way that is simple and understandable.

    Tim is fantastic. He listens thoroughly and asks detailed questions. He never seems as though he is a hurry. My husband and I both think he is acceptional.

    He was great! Even gave a written up plan for his recommendations for follow up which I really appreciated.
