    I was nervous and excited to meet Dr Garner for the first time last Friday. I found her to be kind, and welcoming also smart and on top of things. She listened closely to what I had to say and answered all of my questions. Our appointment never felt rushed. Dr Garner gave me some very good suggestions about my health care going forward . She then wrote orders for bloodwork and a time and date for my next yearly exam and mammogram. I felt very taken care of! I couldn't be happier to have such a wonderful doctor minutes from my home in [Location] and to be officially accepted into her practice as of last Friday! I am thankful and grateful!
    Always good experience
    She seems distracted during appointment. She has no bedside manner.
