Comment

I was very satisfied with Dr. Garcia. I felt more comfortable with him than the previous doctor I had seen in the clinic. I felt That Dr. Garcia really was prepared for my visit and I was very pleased that he listened to me and did not dismiss my concerns , but got proactive to see what is going on with me. Did an ultrasound right there in the office, got the results, and ready to go to the next step. I am scheduled for two more procedures to find out how to help me. I have already recommended Dr. Garcia to a friend. Thank you.
