Dr. Gavin describes himself as a firm believer in the therapeutic power of longitudinal relationships between patients and physicians. He greatly values the opportunity to practice in a field of rapid scientific advancement, lifelong learning, and multi-disciplinary collaborations to provide the best possible care and treatments to his patients. This philosophy perfectly aligns with Family Health West's values and culture. Dr. Gavin says he is fascinated by the complexity of systemic rheumatic disease in terms of diagnosis and management. Rheumatic disease can dramatically impact a person’s quality of life, and he gets personal fulfillment by leveraging his education and formal training, alongside the experiences of creating a positive impact on the lives of his patients - ultimately altering the course of the disease. Dr. Gavin grew up in New Mexico but has also traveled and lived in several other states. His patients consistently rate him high on compassion, optimism, and great listening skills. He considers his treatment specialties to be general rheumatology, including rheumatoid arthritis, crystalline arthropathy (gout and CPPD/pseudogout), psoriatic arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren’s syndrome, sarcoidosis, inflammatory myositis, scleroderma, spondyloarthritis, polymyalgia rheumatica, and osteoporosis. Personal Interests Just as he enjoys the variety of patients he treats, his self-care often includes spending time outside and exploring the beauty of western Colorado. He says anything active is his jam, along with suffering the eternal disappointment that is Texas A&M football. He is also an avid reader of fiction and enjoys a great cup of coffee. Dr. Gavin is proud to be part of the Family Health West Arthritis & Rheumatology Clinic team and looks forward to meeting you!
