Who Am I?
Hello, I am Alejandra Garcia (she, her, hers) and I am a Bilingual Family Nurse
Practitioner fluent in English and Spanish. I started at GN Endocrinology in 2024
after completing my Master's degree at IUN. Prior to that I worked in the ER for 6
years where I found my love for working in fast paced environments while
learning how to manage complex cases to make a significant impact on patient’s
lives during critical moments. The more I learned about managing chronic
conditions the more curious I became as why these conditions occur. This is how
my love for hormones and functional medicine developed.

I believe…
* I believe in chronic disease prevention through lifestyle modifications in
addition to conventional medicine practices when necessary- "It ran in the family
until it ran into me”.
* I believe humor is good for the soul and I plan to use it when it’s appropriate.
* I believe that you are the driver and have full control of the vehicle (your health). I’m
the passenger (your partner in healing). If the car breaks down, I’ll jump out and help
you push.
* I believe treatment works best when you and your provider are committed to figuring
out the underlying cause of your disease process and are consistent in doing so.

What it’s like working with me:
As a new patient you can expect for us to review your background information and address any concerns you
may have while implementing functional medicine with conventional practices when necessary. I’ll approach
things with curiosity because you’re the expert of your life. An appointment with me is supportive, non
judgmental with a gentle nudge here and there- unless we aren’t doing what we need to- then you’ll see the
sass come out… just a little.
