About Me

My philosophy is to treat the patient, not just the disease. For instance, many five-year-olds are involved in imaginary play. I took it a step further by creating an office-based clinic where medical services were provided to "Malibu Barbie" and "Mr. Snuggles."  Over the years, the fascination grew, and my exposure to medicine instilled the desire to pursue a career in primary care.

Although I now see diverse health-related needs, my interests are in geriatric conditions and women’s health. I try to provide specialized care to align with the physiologic aging process and provide emotional support to patients and caregivers. I am trained to assess fall risks, perform standard cognitive evaluations, and address polypharmacy. I also manage your bread-and-butter conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, asthma, and thyroid disease.

In 2014, I earned my medical degree from Aureus University School of Medicine in Aruba and later completed my family medicine residency at St. Luke’s University Health Network. The pursuit for knowledge continued as I ventured down to Philadelphia, where I did a fellowship in geriatrics at Temple University Hospital/Crozer-Chester Health. I returned back to St. Luke’s, where I now do outpatient medicine.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy traveling, kayaking, spending quality time with my family and indulging in the local cuisines.

Dr. Germinal took as much time as I needed to exam me and answer all my questions. She is very kind, patient, and never rushed me. She is an asset to St. Luke's Physician Group. I would recommend her services to anyone needed a new physician.

The provider Gardia D Germinal, MD was well acquainted with my medical history and asked appropriate questions. She was very thorough in providing my care. She help me to understand my cardiology issues and was very gentle with the care of my incision. She made me feel comfortable with her from the start to the end of the visit even though my only previous encounter with her was through Zoom on a visit during the pandemic. I would be happy to receive care from her anytime.

07/08/2024
My visit was excellent with the doctor Germinal so I have no complaints. But I do have a concern about all the surveys that you want us to do every time we have a visit or take test. The surveys are too time-consuming and are asking questions that most people with common sense would complain about if there was a concern or stop going to that doctor. I know I'm not the only person who is tired of these surveys. I suggest that surveys are done once a year or ask two questions on the survey (How was your visit? Do you have any concerns?) only.

Dr G is so compassionate about her patients! She is wonderful with his dementia mind & she took the time to look at a cyst in his groin area & assured the patient she could remove it at this visit!She followed up with a phone call about the pathologist report !
