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.

Hernia procedure using mesh.
Met DR. Garcia at his office. Seemed rushed. Had the procedure done with no problems. 6 weeks later I’m still fighting nausea and no appetite. Life has been miserable since surgery. Unless it’s a must don’t have this surgery. It completely ruined my life so far. I was active and stayed in shape. Not sure if I’ll be doing anything but sitting and sleeping in the near future.

Hope your experience is Better!
I met Dr. Garcia once in order to get a procedure. He was kind and explained everything well. My surgery was scheduled 2 times and didn't happen because the office staff was slow to take care of business and get the insurance approved. Even though Dr. Garcia may be a skilled surgeon, I found his office staff to be insufficient when scheduling a surgery and communication was at a minimal level. The Adventist hospital managed to get the details right both times I was scheduled for surgery, so I decided that needed to find another surgeon after being disappointed twice, the day before the scheduled operation.

Dr. Garcia is a wonderful person and very skilled surgeon. He cares about his patients and will take the time to make sure you get the best care possible. He is the type of doctor you trust going into surgery with, as scary as it is he has made the experience as seamless and comfortable as possible for me. Highly recommend for any of your general surgery needs, I can't say enough good things!
