See what our patients are saying about Dava McGougan

We’ve had one visit with Dava so far, and it was a very positive “get to know each other” meeting. She answered all of our questions in a way that was both friendly and professional, which put us at ease right away. We were also glad to see that she supports the same psychiatrist we were working with before meeting her. That continuity was reassuring and a very good sign.
