March 10, 2026Kysheem R.Verified patient
The entire staff was very nice and professional. The office was very clean, and the location was very convenient. As this was my first visit, I appreciated how the doctor came in and immediately introduced herself and gave me background information about the practice. She was very thorough and made me feel heard without rushing through my examination.
I would highly recommend this practice to everyone looking for a good doctor.

Best Dr and office I have been to in a very long time. The staff is friendly and courteous. The drs. listen and communicate well. This is by far the CLEANEST DR OFFICE I HAVE EVER BEEN TOO! There is never a long wait time either!

June 1, 2024Jakayla T.Verified patient
The office and Dr. Gardner are phenomenal. I went there twice, once for my annual physical and the second time to follow up with my bloodwork.
They call you on time. I literally was sen in less than 5 minutes from my scheduled time both times. That has never happened since I have had doctors appointments in 3 different states.
The decor is great, the music is a vibe, nice and mellow not the boring, droning office music.
Dr. Gardner is knowledgeable, personable and the best type of person you would talk to, like your sister, cousin or your auntie. I also was introduced to her mom, and she is great! She even does medical missions with a black dentist from Irvington.
Dr. Gardner went over my bloodwork in detail, not just the numbers that might show a concern but those that were good other doctors would just ignore. She offered natural ways to improve numbers that weren’t life threatening but concerning, as opposed to automatically prescribing medication. Bring everyone you know!
May 9, 2024Charles H.Verified patient
From Beginning to end, the office staff from assisting with filling out paperwork to my visit with the Dr. Garner was amazing. The office setup is very welcoming and clean. Dr. was very detailed oriented and it felt like I have known her for years. She made sure she answered any questions that I had and gave me great suggestions on maintaining my overall health. I am looking forward to Dr. Garner being my new primary doctor. :)
Shemia S.Verified patient
Great experience....Love it there
February 15, 2024Shaquana M.Verified patient
By far the absolute I thought it was impossible to find a doctor that listens to their patients and addresses all needs and concerns it doesn’t make the patient feel rushed or hurried but nothing is impossible. I found all of that with her and then some couldn’t have chosen a better primary care dr to oversee my health she comes highly recommended !!!

I had an AMAZING experience. I never felt so safe. I was comfortable. She explained EVERYTHING she did and why she was doing. For the first time in my life I felt that a doctor truly cared about me and listened to me. I will recommend this mother/daughter duo to all my friends and family
August 10, 2023Siobhan W.Verified patient
It was a very welcoming experience! I love that it is family ran and the doctor I met with (the daughter) was very gentle and funny lol. I would definitely recommend for people who are trying to find a doctor that really cares.
June 12, 2023Nadree S.Verified patient
Wonderful office!
May 19, 2023Jessica S.Verified patient
The staff were friendly. The office was nice, airy, and clean. The ambiance was calming. I didn’t wait long for my appointment. My questions, and concerns were listened to intently and addressed. It really gave the impression that we are working together regarding my health. The only thing I would improve upon was the phlebotomist, she didn’t wear gloves nor did I see her sanitize her hands prior to my arrival. She could have, I however, didn’t see it. She would wipe the injection site with an alcohol wipe then touch the site with her bare hands. She would open packages then touch the site with her bare hand. Never sanitizing her hand in between her touching multiple items. She was friendly and very pleasant but definitely guilty of cross contamination. Also when she gave me my adhesive bandage, she completely opened the package then touched with her bare fingers the portion that would touch my injection site.That was my only major issue.

The greatest experience I’ve ever had with a doctor! I love how family oriented that they are. Also that they have a lab in house is so convenient! I was listened to, not shamed for body/weight, and given incredible advice, support, and insight!

March 11, 2023Leroy B.Verified patient
My overall experience was wonderful. Truly speaks to how important representation is in medicine. Dr. Garner was wonderful to talk to and listened to me very intentionally when I was explaining my concerns. All the other women in the office were wonderful to speak with and we're very kind. So glad I found this office and a new PCP.

March 10, 2023Karina M.Verified patient
I had a wonderful experience and to discover that they are a black owned medical facility was even sweeter. The place was pristine and the vibe was set wonderfully to the sounds of good Ol R&B. The wait process wasn’t long at all and I was seen immediately after filling out my paperwork. I was very comfortable here and have found my permanent Primary Care Physician.
