About Andrea Gayden
Andrea Gayden, MSN, APN, is a nurse practitioner with Emory at Stonecrest - Primary Care. She currently sees adult patients and has special interests in heart disease and diabetes management.
Inspired by tragedy
A tragic event prompted Andrea to pursue a career in medicine. Her father died of a heart attack at age 42 after his heart disease went undiagnosed. Andrea changed her career goals from law to nursing. Now, she helps people identify illnesses early so they enjoy a full, healthy life.
After earning an undergraduate degree in English from Spelman College, Andrea sought a Bachelor of Science in nursing from Clayton State University. She worked as a registered nurse in a long-term acute care facility as well as in the cardiovascular unit at Grady Hospital before attending Emory University for a Master of Science in nursing.
A focus on the underserved
Throughout her career, Andrea has worked in settings where she cared for underserved populations. That’s intentional on her part. Working with the underserved is her way of giving back to her community. Before joining Emory Healthcare, Andrea worked at Grady Health System Primary Care and Mercy Care in Atlanta, where she served largely underserved populations. She has also volunteered her time to provide medical care to unhoused populations in Georgia.
When she’s not working, Andrea enjoys physical fitness and spending time with her daughter.

I was there for a prescription refill. I've already jumped through ALL the different ideas for not using this medication. That's why I need the medication because I and my Dr know it's the only thing that even moderately works. Didn't feel it was necessary to rejump through all the hoops for a medication I've been on for 3+ years. On top of now being required to have in person "proof of life" appointments.

This visit showed improvements in caring about me and questions, but she seemed rushed less that made this better experience. BUT STILL
- 1 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/15/2025
This was the worst experience I've ever had with a health care provider. The NP was rude and judgmental. She was too busy telling me she was a doctor and knew things to listen to me and my concerns. The medical assistant even warned me prior to meeting the NP that she would be difficult. It is very concerning to me that this NP's medical staff feels the need to warn patients about the NP's attitude. The NP's lack of care and consideration for patients should be addressed. I began crying in this appointment due to being cut off and not listened to, and this NP did not care, and continued with her combative attitude.

I've been a patient at the practice for 35 years. I saw Dr Keller until he retired, now Dr Frantz ( love them both) but the soonest appointment needed to be with another provider. Andrea Gayden was excellent. This was the first time she saw me and was able to grasp my current situation concerns quickly as well as being able to request proper testing, re- evaluation of medication and prescription as well as referral to a specialist quickly and thoroughly. The after visit summary was provided quickly and accurately. A defined treatment plan was discussed and executed. Script was sent off asap, as well as the referral form to the cardiologist. I was getting my chart test updates while I was still in the patient room. I was hesitant to see someone who didn't know my history but was confident with Andrea. On a side note and not a total negative, she's very serious and could smile more. From a medical professional evaluation she was very competent and knowledgeable. Thank you

I was scheduled for my physical and I had questions to ask but she told me she was supposed to ask me questions and she didn't have time allotted for me to ask questions. If I had questions I should have scheduled a follow up appointment. I went home with no answers to some of my questions. I have been with this practice for 32 years, now I think it's time to find another doctor.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 6/19/2024
NP Gayden is very good at her job. Yet, she is very courteous, professional and provides detailed information to me and explained it throughly. She communicates exceptionally well listened to me when I asked questions. She also answered my questions in details, of which I really appreciated. Emory should be very proud to have Ms.Gayden, and I am very fortunate to have her as my Primary Physician.

I don't appreciate the lack of concern when it comes to my care . To be told "Look, we can't address everything" while I'm in a hypertensive crisis and having neck and shoulder pain was disheartening and concerning. This is not the first time I felt dismissed by Andrea

There was nothing wrong with the provider. I simply did not really feel connected.
- 3 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/22/2024
Post visit, I, the daughter of patient realized the lab work did not include a lipid panel. I queried the practitioner on this via MyChart, and she states the patient was not fasting so it was not done. She, however did lab work that included blood glucose levels. This is contradictory. She scheduled a 6 month follow up visit and states she will do lipid panel at this visit. I find this unacceptable practice not to have complete baseline labs done. In all the years of taking my mother to doctors, labs were always done at the initial visit. Then to inform an 86 year old to wait 6 months for this to be done. I explained her chronic hypokalemic situation. While living in New York her potassium was monitored every 3 months. Every 6 months is not acceptable for a follow up with a history of hypokalemia. She has been hospitalized for this in the past. Her response is inflexible and reflects someone who does not care to listen to her patients and accommodate as such. I believe it was possible to have the patient come in and do a lipid panel. This information is critical to managing care and has greatly assisted in diet adjustment and maintaining good health particularly for a senior citizen, and this was denied the patient. This behavior does not advance Nurse Practitioners in this space and has resulted in decreased confidence on my part.
