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.

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 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.

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.

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.
September 29, 2025
The current blocks of time for appointments seem rushed. 20 minutes may not allow the proper time when seeing a patient for a new condition. Follow ups yes, but when there to be accessed for a new condition properly 30 minutes would allow for a more thorough screening.
September 29, 2025
In order to get the appointment, I was on hold for over 40 minutes. I had to make three calls and I had another person on hold for 17 minutes two of the calls I was hung up on. One of them after the attendant answered and the other one while the phone was ringing. I work and I had to do this while I was working. My HR person helped me to try to make the appointment because I had to work I have a job that requires me to meet people.
September 24, 2025
Dana and her nurse were terrific. Also a shout out to the receptionist who helped .e.
September 24, 2025
I really appreciate that another provider was able to see me to address a new concern. Dana was kind and I felt like she listened to me. As usual, the GFM staff were great, from the front desk to the MA. Thank you all.

Dana Halsey is informative and professional. She covers concerns and questions thoroughly and with care.

all good thank you
August 27, 2025
Checking out and scheduling a lab test was almost painful, 20 minutes to check out! It took the person that checked me out that amount of time to print the lab orders. I cringed when she had to set another appointment in two weeks.
August 25, 2025
The entire team was amazing!
August 15, 2025
The visit was good, will be returning for tests I need.
August 01, 2025
Dana was fabulous. Dana takes her time to talk with me. She listens to what I have to say. And we had a conversation where she wasn't telling me what to do, but we were talking about what's the best way to move forward.
