My husband & I both go to Dr Garcia, we hope & pray he doesn’t retire before we die. He is the very best !! I have 2 doctors I would wait all day to see without a complaint, he is one of them. Not saying he makes us wait, he doesn’t , he is truly a very special person and doctor. He makes you feel he is treating you as he would his own family. He does not go overboard with testing but rather orders tests that are necessary. He is easy to understand and explains everything very well. He truly cares about his patients, all doctors could learn a lot from him. The only thing negative I can say is I wish he had office staff that deserved him.

We found Dr. Garcia through a neighbor in a time of crisis after moving cross country 5 years ago. For us, Dr. Garcia has been everything we always hope to find in a physician. A man of faith, who’s skilled, knowledgeable and well educated-keeping current on new research. He’s hands on always taking time to listen with his stethoscope himself. (When it seems few other doctors actually lay hands on you anymore -yet put in their reports they do.) Not Dr. Garcia. Dr. Garcia is calm, has a perfect beside manner of asking questions & listening, educating and providing options when possible and no arrogant. He feels truly invested in our wellbeing and doesn’t rush from patient to patient like you’re just a number. We are grateful to have such a good human involved in both of our ongoing heart health”CARE.” He exemplifies what it means to be a healthcare Professional.

Dr. Garcia was extremely busy during my last visit which is understandable this time of year. His expertise and professionalism far exceeds any waiting time you may encounter. I also enjoy his staff who have always been friendly and courteous for all of my visits.
