I was very satisfied with my time with Dr Garner. She gave me time and I am very appreciative of that.

Dr. Karen Garner helped me through my list of questions and concerns about my health that I brought to our meeting, she reviewed information from my Apple Watch that was exported for her review, she answered all my questions in detail, had very solid and actionable suggestions for my health, explained things to me in a way I could understand, and made sure my future prescriptions where at the pharmacy and we discussed follow up work to monitor and improve my health. Never felt rushed, even though the practice was busy, and also the front desk help (all of them seriously), helped me out and the two PAs that assisted as well were terrific, thoughtful and kind, while being very proficient at their jobs in my patient capacity.

Dr Karen Garner was very professional and asked questions of me for our first appt consult as my primary doctor. Very impressed with Dr Garner. She is detailed with my medical file, asking questions. Very good Doctor. And direct.
Providence Patient
The doctor seemed very rushed - she spent about 2 minutes tops with me.More eye contact with the laptop than myself. I doubt she even remembers anything that has occurred in my life recently which is affecting me. Instead of actually talking with me I get a recommendation for a psychiatrist. I don't need to be medicated or I'd start drinking g again. My visit just felt like a good reason to get a billing in.
