Dr. Alexandra Garces, ND

Dr Garces was bilingual. My grandmother is hard to understand. She was amazing to her and it was hard to get them off the phone for my appointment. When I did get to my appointment she knew exactly what to ask me to get to my health issue. I never knew I could get this type of health help. It changed my life. I am much healthier my whole body is different I feel better , I can taste food differently it’s amazing truly changed my life I’m a new me .

Ms. Garces is highly knowledgeable in her field and uses state of the art philosophy in her approach to healthy, mindful eating and way of life. If you go expecting her to spoon feed you, you’ll be disappointed. Her goal is to teach her client to make the best choices for their individualized needs, focusing on assessment of your needs and educating you in an extremely holistic way. She is very warm, intelligent and clearly in your corner and I’d say a baseline IQ OF 105 is necessary to appreciate her comprehensive approach to nutrition and lifestyle. Despite previous review, she is extremely knowledgeable about medications and illness and this is coming from an RN. I would not hesitate to recommend her - she does not look to control her clients but rather, join their team, teaching THEM that they are capable AND responsible for their own lifestyle choices that determine what degree you can reach your highest level of wellness. THAT is the secret to success & she helps unlock the door.

Her bedside manner was extremely poor and gave me rudimentary nutritional facts. When a doctor gives me the same regiment and information as every other client, I know it won't be helpful. Having specific medical issues and sensitivities to certain medications is the reason a trip to the nutritionist was recommended, not because I don't know to eat my veggies. Not to mention her condescending tone and nonexistent listening skills.
