Rome, Georgia is well-known as a medical hub, a community where people can be confident that their health needs will be met with a high level of expertise. Harbin Clinic Women’s Center remains at the forefront of providing the women of Northwest Georgia with the best possible care, from their first gynecological visit, through their child-bearing years, to menopause and post-menopause.
Dr. Raymond Jarvis and Dr. Marc Dean, both physicians of obstetrics-gynecology at Harbin Clinic’s Women’s Center in Rome, work with their fellow physicians and other medical professionals to uphold Harbin Clinic’s long-standing tradition of excellence and to prove their motto right: “We care completely.”
It’s a team, it’s a family
For this ob-gyn team, coming to work every day is all about the relationships. Dr. Dean says, “We work together, we struggle together, sometimes we cry together. That’s what the partners are building here; it’s a team and a family.”
In discussing what he likes about his job, Dr. Jarvis says, “Ob-gyn is a relatively happy specialty. We can become a real integral part of a woman’s life at some of her most important moments. And I like the variety of the work here, too: the surgical component, the office component.” For these doctors, it comes down to the friendships built over the years.
Dr. Jarvis adds, “Over the last twenty-three years I’ve formed some really wonderful relationships with patients. That’s something I truly enjoy, getting to know people beyond just the medical perspective. I like learning who they are, who their families are. I get to see a lot of their families grow up.” When asked if he has ever delivered the babies of the babies he’s delivered, he says, “Yes! That happened for the first time just two years ago! It was a really special and meaningful delivery.”
