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.

Dr. Garcia has very good bedside manners. He is very caring and takes his time to examine and go over family history with patients. I have been his patient for 3 years now and I highly recommend him as a primary care provider.

The front desk & the staff in general are extremely rude & unprofessional. They not only treat patients poorly, they talk rudely to the doctor & order him around. When not pestering the doctor they are behaving inappropriately, talking loud or being lazy. I had a medical situation & needed to talk with the doctor so he had to spend some time explaining things; the staff kept interrupting by knocking on the door saying that they had a questions. This group needs to change the staff immediately.

The staff is always so friendly and welcoming when I go to the office. Dr. Garcia is a excellent doctor who took his time with me and explained everything medically that I had questions about. When he called me to give me the results of my blood test he answered any questions I had. He really takes his time with his patients and genuinely cares about them. I would recommend Dr. Garcia and his excellent staff!

Dr. Garcia and his staff are very friendly and professional. They are always quick to schedule appointments when needed. I called my insurance before going and verified that they were in network and my family and I have been seeing him ever since. I highly recommend Dr. Garcia!

During my most recent visit, Dr. Samuel Garcia proved to me that he couldn't be trusted to refer his patients to in-network labs, leaving me with a $174 bill! When I called him about this he told me his office manager Marta would help sort this. Marta dodged my calls for weeks and eventually told me it's not their responsibility to know who's in-network. Garcia also performed a portable EKG that wasn't covered either. Think twice before going here: you might find yourself with unexpected bill!

Worse service I have ever encountered. The front desk is not only rude but has no patience. Dr. Garcia needs to hire better PAR and a bit more educated. I liked the Doctor, but I would not go back.
