The only problem is always waiting on the phone on hold for several minute. Maybe they need more help in that department.

I always enjoy my interactions with Gardiner Family Medicine.
August 26, 2026
Clerical staff seems to think that they can schedule appointments without having conversations with the patients and schedules for Zoom without giving the option for an in-person.

The medical assistant that I had was rude. She was rushing through with her tasks. My appointment was at 7:20 am. There was no reason for this. She couldn't get out of the exam room fast enough.
August 24, 2026
I was pleased with the time and attention my new provider gave me at this first appointment. She was easy to talk to and seems to be thorough.
August 19, 2026
I was pleased I was seen quickly. I was listened to. Very important to me!

July 29, 2026

July 15, 2026
I just want to let you know Dana Hallisey and her nurse that works with her, they're very caring people and they take the time to listen to you. Thank you. Bye.

Dana came to my appointment prepared, knowing my health history and explained next, appropriate treatment options with me. She eased my concerns and also gave me the nudge I needed to follow up with referrals made. I appreciated her message following my lab results and that I know what the next steps will be. Excellent provider - highly recommend!

Dana is always very helpful in dealing with my multiple issues. Same for her assistant
July 07, 2026
I think at a wellness check you should be able to ask different questions. Most people go there once a year and they don't need another appointment to ask questions. That's my only concern. Thank you.

When described my need for ESA documents, and the fact that my therapist said that their practice does not do them, my PCP went "oh, well, I don't know then." And did not follow up with anything else. Where am I supposed to go? When asking for a referral, my PCP asked "why do they need this from me? Why not the specialist you go to?" I said that they just do-it's a surgery, of course-but she continued to ask "why do they need this from me?" Why are you asking me this question as if I dictate what the place who does the surgery wants? I was given no direction on the release of information sheet I filled out. I worked with the front desk to complete it, as I was left confused by her lack of direction and communication. I still don't know if I filled it out correctly. I asked for my immunization records toward the nurse who saw me. She did not give them to me after saying she would. I had to ask the front desk. After my experience, I was left lost and confused. Thankfully, the individual who gave me a shot was very sweet about it, and that was a highlight, but after waiting for thirty minutes over the time I was scheduled for, being provided no concrete answers over documentation, and all but being rushed out by my PCP (no "any other questions for me?" Of the sorts), it was a not so great first experience.
June 15, 2026
It was a good visit. I got In and out in a duly time. I got my blood work done at the same time. It was all good
June 08, 2026
I felt extremely judged by Dana. There were several times when she interrupted me while I was speaking, quite abruptly and rudely. She lacked any empathy or compassion in her tone or manner.
June 05, 2026
It was good
June 01, 2026
Dana is the best. She explains everything to me so I can understand it. Shes always happy and very very nice.I am so happy she's my doctor
May 08, 2026

May 04, 2026
Dana Hallisey was wonderful, as she has been since I started seeing her. Very thorough, competent and friendly. I appreciate that she stays up to date on new advances.
April 29, 2026
I thought Dana was extremely helpful and very empathic towards my current experience. And I think she's excellent at what she does. She's right on the ball. She doesn't miss anything. Thank you. Bye.
April 28, 2026
This visit was very rushed and impersonal compared to others I have experienced. All the boxes got checked but felt very routine, cold.
April 21, 2026
Everyone at the front desk greets you with a smile. Jessica and Dana are both awesome, every time I come in they treat me so well.
April 21, 2026
Thank you
March 11, 2026
I was uncomfortable talking with my practitioner about a $432 dollar bill I received from 2024. We disagree with the cause. My PA was not able to help me with the reason I went there. The system and my insurance policy is detrimental to my health, sad.
March 04, 2026
I can never get in touch see my pcd.
March 02, 2026
Dana responded very quickly to my problem and made a referral right away. And I've already heard back from the place she referred to. Thank you very much, Dana. Really appreciate it. Bye-bye.
February 25, 2026
Things moved so efficiently for the first time!! I've been a patient at this practice seeing multiple providers there for years. I hope this level of care continues, as I know this is a very busy facility. The front end staff were the friendliest I've dealt with in quite some time as well.
February 02, 2026
Dana is great and the whole team makes me feel very well cared for.
February 02, 2026
I was messaged twice and called once saying my appointment was at one time and when I got there they told me I missed it that it was 20 minutes before. They still saw me but that's really not cool
January 30, 2026
I have complete trust in my practitioner's judgment and insight. It is always a pleasure to see her.
January 23, 2026
Dana Hallisey and Jaci are phenomenal!
January 13, 2026
Dana Hallisey knows my health history, even after seeing her for a short time, and is very helpful to me.
January 12, 2026
I appreciate the consistency of staff and protocols, thorough rubrics, portal access, human interaction, resources in the community, and attention to the whole person
December 29, 2025
All staff are great! I really appreciate Express Care. If I can't see my pcp, there is another I can see. That's important to me.
December 22, 2025
Very helpful professional help
November 21, 2025
I did not receive receive the e-mail to set up the online portal even though I gave it to the secretary at the front desk.
November 17, 2025
Everyone is so wonderful
November 10, 2025
I always have a good experience here.
November 05, 2025
I love Dana. She's the best. Makes me feel relaxed and explains what is going on with my health and the medication. I'm so happy I have her. Her I think she's a PA is fantastic also.
November 03, 2025
Excellent care and logistics. No long waits
October 28, 2025
Wish there were more testing available at this facility, to make it more convenient for the patient when they need .
October 21, 2025
Yes, Dr. Hallis and her team did a very good job. I have recommended somebody who was looking for a primary care physician, an elderly person, and I recommended Garden Family Medical. Yes, I would recommend them. They're very timely and they get me in and out pretty good. So I would give them a very high mark. Thank you.
October 17, 2025
So appreciate the professionalism of staff, confidence they project.
October 14, 2025
The care at GFM is great! From the front staff, medical assistants, and my provider. I am thankful to have them caring for my health.
