Dr Athena Garcia is the best!! She has the best bedside manners I have seen in quite some time. And that means a lot she actually listens and answers your questions and is not rushing out of the door to get to the next patient. Even though this practice does not accept my insurance - Dr Athena is worth the money out of my pocket each visit. She is very sweet and I love conversing with her.
Front desk staff were very pleasant, professional and caring! Both check in and check out went very well.
The nurse (didnt get her name) took good care of me and treated me like i was the only one there and didnt make it feel rushed at all. She just did her job and did it right!
Athena was awesome! She actually cared and checked on stuff to try to diagnose what i was there for. I cant even say enough good things about her! It was only my first visit, but I wish I would have found this office sooner!
My previous doctor retired so I came to NGFM. My first visit was with Athena. She is AMAZING!! You don’t feel rushed and the wait time is minimal on most visits. She found a blockage in my carotid that was overlooked or missed by my previous dr and cardiologist. Thankfully I am now on track to fix this issue before it’s detrimental. She’s very kind, sincere and caring. So thankful God placed me in her care. I’m extremely confident in this office and would feel confident seeing a different doctor here if needed. I’m sure Dr Lawrence only has the best here.
