Dr. Garza is a competent, compassionate physician. She makes her patients feel special because she always remembers what was discussed in prior appointments, and she does not "talk down" to her patients. Her diagnoses are on point, and she keeps her patients well-informed about lab results and so on.

I am so sad to see Dr. Garza leaving the MedFirst Office. I will be one of those trying to locate her. I want to be her patient again. BHS Medfirst is allowing a Great Asset to leave.

I have all been seen whenever I need to see her in an emergency situation. Office Staff have always seen to it that I get the care, treatment, and respect I deserve.

I can't believe that I can't get in to see the Dr. when I'm sick. I called in because I am sick now, in Jan; and they tell me I cannot be seen until March.
