    Dr Garcia is the best! She is competent, confident, and professional. She shows care and concern for her patients and takes the time needed to make them feel comfortable. Ive seen a lot of doctors Im my 60+ years but rarely have I seen a doctor that I feel more confidence in and comfortable with. Again she is the BEST!
