I first went to see Dr. Garcia back in 2008. I never felt like I was important enough because I was not pregnant but seeking answers for infertility. I was prescribed medication that did not work (2 1/2 yrs). I was even made cry at my last visit. Now that I have found a doctor that put me first and my wants it is now too late to treat my condition(s) which I didn't know I had until 6 months ago (PCOS, Low Hormones, No pregnancy hormone detected). And I am now 40 yrs old and I know you ladies know that is a risky age for pregnancy. So if you are not already pregnant ladies please look elsewhere for answers. Use a RMA Specialist and don't settle for close to home doctor offices.

This was my first time seeing Dr. Garcia. The office is small but very nice. My wait was less than 20 minutes to get seen and the office had all my benefits verified prior to my appointment. I had a lot of questions and the staff was very helpful and nice. I was unsure due to the other comments on here but i was pleasantly surprised and will definitely recommend him to my co-workers.

Dr. Garcia was rude since day 1. Everytime i went in i had to wait over an hour, and he always was so inconsiderate and rude. He canceled my surgery to remove a fibroid tumor because "he didn't want to take the risk of not getting paid." Forget the fact that it was my last month being covered by insurance. What kind of doctor really has the audacity to tell a patient that!? If u want your doctor to care, and you actually be treated like a human being, I would advise any woman to stay away!
