Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

An all around great doctor. Caring, attentive and most of all skilled. Didn't "just" save my life with emergency surgery at Seton, but did an excellent job with my colonoscopy -- many nurses I know have told me about doctors that haven't -- and has seen me multiple times since the surgery to make sure I have a full recovery. Dr's get no better than this.

Dr. Garcia performed a double mastectomy on me in august 0f 2016. I have gone to him for other procedures as well. His bedside manner is the best I've ever seen. He takes his time explaining things. He made me feel very comfortable even when I was as scared as I've ever been. Dr. Garcia, thank you for everything.

Dr.Garcia and his nursing staff were very appropriate in handling I was under circumstances. Upon asking questions about my diagnosis of a breast biopsy Dr.Garcia explained everything that needed to be known to me. Thank you Dr.Garcia for everything you did yesterday. I appreciate you trying to keep me calm and explaining every procedure at hand with my breast biopsy .

Dr. Garcia has performed a double mastectomy and diverticulitis surgery for me. I've never had a more sensitive and caring doctor in my 60 years. You can see the concern in his eyes. I love Dr. Garcia and would (and have) recommended him to my friends.
