Ms. Joyce took the time to thoroughly examine me before prescribing any medication, which I truly appreciated. I’m thankful she didn’t just rush to prescribe something, but instead showed genuine care and caution throughout the process.

I can't recommend this office and my new PA enough!! I was still filling out my paperwork when my name was called. This speaks to how efficiently the office is run. During my appointment, I was impressed and grateful that on my very first visit, I was able to get all of my prescriptions refilled and tests ordered. My PA was kind and thorough, and she listened attentively. She never made me feel rushed, but took the time to discuss all of my many concerns. I was very impressed from start to finish!! My husband and I left praising God for finding a new PCP on my first visit that we both absolutely loved!!

After not so great experiences, I went into this appointment with high expectations knowing what I *didnt* want to experience again.
I first arrived far too early by my own mistake, and the front desk immediately went to see if it was possible to squeeze me in without me asking for any accommodations. Since that wasn’t possible, they also offered any other earlier times before my appointment.
With the severity of my concerns, the PA was very sensitive, patient, and educational. I did not feel judgement or shame for my own delays to get these concerns addressed.
Joyce Garrison PA-C responded with kindness and reassurance that we had a game plan in mind for my assessments to determine the right treatment plan. She also worked to try ensure my insurance covered the diagnostics, as well as being respectful of my time and limited financial resources.
This RescueMD location also accepts care credit!

Joyce shows a level of attentiveness that is beyond impressive. She sat and talked to me about my concerns until she was sure she got everything down, no rush. I would 100% recommend her to any friend or relative and be confident that she will take care of them. You can tell that she actually cares about her patients.
