Overview

As a rheumatologist, I work with patients with autoimmune and rheumatic diseases, such as inflammatory arthritis, inflammatory muscle disease, autoimmune connective tissue diseases, and vasculitis. Significant advancements have recently occurred in rheumatology which have led to better understanding and treatment of disease and better quality of life for our patients. I believe that to provide the best possible care, input from the patient and provider are needed. I listen to my patients carefully and advise them with the most up-to-date information available.

Dr. Garvey is highly rated in 5 conditions, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA), Temporal Arteritis, Juvenile Temporal Arteritis, and Vasculitis.

My interests and expertise include diagnosing and treating many rheumatic diseases, including, but not limited to: rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, inflammatory arthritis, lupus, Sjogren's syndrome, scleroderma, (other) connective tissue diseases, gout, pseudogout, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, inflammatory muscle diseases and vasculitis. Additional interests for me include using biologic therapies to treat rheumatic diseases. I strive to provide patients with the most up-to-date education materials and treatment approaches. Injection therapies for arthritis, such as cortisone shots and viscosupplements, are tools I use regularly to reduce pain and inflammation for patients with arthritis, bursitis and tendinitis. I typically do not provide long-term care for chronic low back pain, chronic pain syndromes or fibromyalgia. These are conditions which may be better served by other specialties, including physical medicine and rehabilitation as well as pain clinics.
