Horrible experience. I don't understand how one of the Drs does surgery and never follows up on the patient. It is another Optho that does the follow ups and the staff at the office are the ones that do all the work for them. All they do is go in the room for a minute or two and out the room they go. It's all about # & $ here and not patient care.

A few days ago I had cataract surgery from Dr. Garcia. I have been very pleased with my treatment before, during and after the surgery. Help from the staf, the technicians and all Drs. so far so good. Would definitely recommend him.

I visited Dr. Garcia's office for the first time on Jan. 25. 2019 for a recurring problem I have with Iritis. I've had this 27 years but hadn't actually been to an ophthalmologist in several years. Dr. Garcia took time examining my eyes and asked if I'd ever had blood work done regarding the condition. I haven't. He explained that this condition can lead to other problems in the body and wrote out which tests are to be done and told me to have the tests done at my convenience but he really would like to have me follow up getting them done. I had never been told that before so I'm thankful to learn this. He suggested how to proceed using my steroid drops until I see him for a follow up appointment. Dr. Garcia spent plenty of time going over everything and I appreciate that.

I would like to thank Dr. Garcia for the results of my cataract surgery. My vision is improved! Dr. Garcia always gives his best to each patient and that's what I appreciate the most. His staff makes me feel like family. Thank you Dr. Garcia!

I recently had upper eyelid ptosis surgery by Dr. Garcia. The surgery went very well and I am extremely happy with the results. Dr. Garcia is very professional, knowledgeable and confident. Everyone that I dealt with in the office before and after surgery were friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. I will continue to have my eye care done at this office. I highly recommend Dr. Garcia and MD Eye Care.

Dr. Garcia performed eyelid surgery to improve my vision on both eyelids. I was very satisfied with the results. My field of vision is much improved and I had no pain after surgery. I followed his instructions and had healed completely after three weeks. I have recommended him to several of my friends who are seeking the same type of surgery and have complete confidence in his surgical abilities. The staff was efficient and friendly.

I have been going to Dr George H Garcia since 2008. He is the most professional and knowledgeable eye doctor and surgeon I know( and I tried others). I had 2 cataract surgeries with him and my eyes are great! He really cares for his patients and takes extra time to answers questions and concerns. I would not go to anyone else. The staff is great too and always flexible with appointments.
