Dear...

I am writing to you today in regard to Tracy Garrett, NP-C currently practicing at Centra Medical in Gretna, VA. She has been my PCP since beginning her practice in Gretna. As time has passed, she has become the PCP for my husband, my mother, and my son as well. Her knowledge, dedication, professionalism, and commitment to excellence of care for our family is unmatched. 

This week our relationship with Tracy reached a new level. She is now the PCP for my newest grandchild, a petite and beautiful girl named Scarlett Penelope. Four generations of my family—from 10 days old to 85 years young— are now fortunate enough to be in her capable care!
