I'm not sure I have the words to express my appreciation and confidence I have in Dr. Garcia. I have had two heart attacks. He has operated on me the first time. The second time I was taken to another doctor. I left the second cardiologist's care to return to Dr. Garcia. My family doctor said that that decision most likely saved my life. If you have a heart related problem, Dr. Garcia is as great a doctor as I have found.

12 years ago I was a patient of Dr. Garcia's. I was having symptoms that I thought were heart related but after a couple of tests he attributed it to a non-heart related previous illness. Those same symptoms over the next 11 years got worse until I wound up having QUINTUPLE bypass surgery last summer.

I came to ask Dr. Garcia why my heart kept stopping and was not beating regularly. He ask for no tests or evaluations and told me there was nothing wrong with me.. Two weeks later I was rushed into surgery by another cardiologist as my heart was stopping for 7 seconds every few minutes. Dr. Garcia is a very nice and considerate man,but if you have a heart problem seek help elsewhere.
