Dr Garcia is 1 of the best doctors I’ve seen in a VERY long time. He absolutely listens to you, cares about patients needs, fantastic bedside manners, explains information extremely well. He knows exactly what tests should be ordered and I felt so comfortable, very engaging and trusting. Also has a sense of humor which is rare. There was no wait time once i arrived at the office. He follows up which has been rare in the past. I’m thrilled to be his new patient and look forward to my care.

Dr Garcia immediately puts you at ease by talking to you, not at you. Very informative regarding my condition and treatment options. Unfortunately, I need a physician closer to my home. He was on top of referring me and assisting with new appointment. He seems to truly care about his patients. Scheduling desk could be better.
