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.

We have had multiple children see Dr Garcia. Dr Garcia is sooo nice and explains things so easily. She cares about her patients. I always leave confident about the plans we make.

Our time with Dr Garcia was awkward. It was as if she didn't want to share information with us. We were ushered out of the room while I was still asking questions. I left feeling uncared for and confused about the next appropriate action. We will not be returning.

She is very friendly, but professional and explains things thoroughly. She makes sure the patient understands the condition and/or procedure. I really liked her.

Dr. Garcia is amazing! She is well skilled and is VERY good at what she does. She performed a laproscopic procedure on me when I had previously been told I could not have this type of procedure and would need an open abdominal surgical incision. She went over all options of surgery and gave me choice when it came to what parts of my anatomy I wanted to keep (cervix, ovaries...) if all was well internally when she got in there. My recovery went GREAT-due to her skilled hand- I truly believe.

Words cannot describe how excellent and wonderful Dr. Garcia is. The care, professional ethics, and understanding she provides to her patients are truly outstanding. She is the third GYN doctor I met. I can wholeheartedly tell you that you can trust her 100%. You can rest assured that you are in the right hand. The best compliment I could give her is that she treats you as if she treats herself.

Dr. Garcia is amazing. I've never had an experience at any doctor's office like this. I was treated like I was the only patient there because I was! Every person there was focused on me, from Tanya at the front desk, to the nurse, Dr. Garcia and the anesthesiologist. Dr. Garcia is incredibly knowledgeable and spent a lot of time with me going over my procedure and any questions I had. I felt completely safe and wonderfully cared for. Dr. Garcia truly cares about her patients and it shows!
