About Magdalena Garbacz
I completed my undergraduate degree in nursing at Holy Family University in Philadelphia, PA and received my graduate degree from Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, PA. I have been a nurse practitioner since 2018 and most of my experience has been in the field of endocrinology. In my clinical practice, I see patients with diabetes, hypoglycemia, and other disorders of fuel metabolism. My objective is to evaluate your endocrine condition within the context of your overall health and personal goals. We will work together on achieving your health goals through lifestyle modifications, use of technology, and medical therapies. My hope is that you will leave my office with new knowledge regarding your condition, purpose, and clear action plan. I am also a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist with particular interest in use of technology to promote diabetes self-care behaviors. In the past, I collaborated with Quality Improvement leads to increase outreach of diabetes technology such as CGMs and insulin pumps to underrepresented populations.
- American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), Adult Nurse Practitioner (ANP-BC)
Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, hiking, reading, and teaching my dog new tricks.

Providence Patient
The front desk lady was so kind and helpful right when I came in to the lobby. I came in late as I had just spilled my water bottle all over myself and her kind demeanor helped calm me down and make me feel welcome. Magdalena Garbacz (my provider) is so bright and I learn something about my chronic disease every time I see her. She is knowledgeable and explains things in a way that I can understand as well as remember and apply. She is a keeper!
Providence Patient
Her response to my infected toes was compassionate and professional. She is the real deal and I am greatful. In 20 years my experience has been being ignored. Dr's not even commenting about my toe nails. They cycle through regrowth and lifting off nailbed and then falling off over and over. They hurt
Providence Patient
Really nice doctor got me off to a good start
Providence Patient
Everyone in your offices has been very polite, courteous, and respectful
Providence Patient
Magdalena is brusque and sarcastic. I hadn't had an appointment in an extended period of time and she first greeted me by asking if I had forgotten I had diabetes. Though it may have been made in jest, it certainly was not received that way. Throughout the appointment I felt as though I was being shamed for being a less than perfect patient. Instead of trying to educate and question what the cause of difficulties were (missed meds etc), her reaction was to essentially say 'you need to do better'. I will be looking for another provider. I will not recommend her to others in my situation.
Providence Patient
Professional care received
Providence Patient
I love Magdalena Garbacz. Yes I said love, and I've never said that about a health care professional before. Being assigned to her after my previous provider retired was the best thing ever to happen to me in more than three decades of living with Type 1 diabetes, as she's easily the best endocrinology provider I've ever seen. Magdalena is smart, knowledgeable, kind, patient, compassionate, and so easy to talk with about anything. Plus I feel like she knows me and cares about me as a person. She inspires me to do my best in managing my diabetes: she's affirming when I do well and encouraging when I fall short. I never feel judged the way I've felt with other providers. Magdalena is everything I've been looking for, she's really a diabetes coach and cheerleader. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Providence Patient
Magdalena Garbacz is an exceptional diabetic professional. She's very intuitive, knowledgeable & recently prescribed long acting insulin which has already lowered my daily blood glucose levels.

I'm very grateful for this appointment.
