Excellent Doctor highly trained and very good listener with high degree of empathy
After explaining I have adhd and am hyperactive in my sleep, Dr Garcia immediately knew to offer a hard cast as a preventative measure. I explained I typically need more numbing and she made sure to check in with me and not only BELIEVED me and gave me extra, she made sure there was plenty more just in case. We ended up needing the extra. She was so amazing, making sure to answer all of my questions. best surgical experience with a surgeon.
She is AMAZING. Can't thank her enough for the great job she did. Such a kind and patient person. We got lucky to work with her.
My daughter was very nervous going into this appointment and Dr. Garcia was AMAZING with her. She talked to my daughter in a way that she could understand what she was explaining, she didn't ignore my daughter's concerns or feelings. I would 100% recommend anyone to Dr. Garcia!
Ask to skip preliminary appointment. Complete waste of time with zero benefit. I hope you actually get to see this doctor.
She did a great job treating me and giving me a high level of care.

By the time I arrived for my appointment I had not one, but two areas of concern. Both were treated quickly and cheerfully! It was a delight to have her as a provider.

Very caring
Nothing but good she is one of the best doctors I have ever had she has a good rapport and a good bad side manner. She goes above and beyond to make sure that me her patient has been thoroughly taken care of. She doesn't rush you she asked questions and listens very well à I would strongly recommend her to anyone that is seeking a good orthopedic surgeon doctor. My wife is not her patient but often comes with me for my visits she has done surgery on both of my hands. Every time we leave the doctors office my wife always says how she loves Dr Garcia's fashion sense and enjoys talking to her about more than medical things.
Very comforting by her attention to my broken elbow She walked to the hand clinic and spoke to my hand therapist.
Dr. Garcia is a knowledgeable and attentive surgeon and very pleasant. She did a great job with my surgery. If I have the opportunity I will refer family and friends to her.
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!
She is professional, caring and listens.
Kind and professional seemed to genuinely care for my health.
Patient and caring, I didnt feel rushed. Answered all my concerns.
Dr. Garcia is one of the first providers I've seen that is genuinely concerned about my issues. She got right to her examination and going through her suggestions for treatment if needed. I will definitely see her again if needed.
She is very kind listened to my child and explained things so we could understand
She definitely cared about our son and making sure he was taken care of. She is great!
An excellent kind doctor with knowledgeable and practical skills
A very skillful and caring surgeon
Dr.Garcia did not take the tike to listen to current symptoms. She was focused on a past problem and couldn't help with my current pain. She did not seem to care that her suggestions were not covered under insurance and I can't afford them. I feel like she just took my money and didn't care to continue. I requested a second opinion and when they asked for Dr.Garcias notes from my visit, I realized she hadn't put them on MyChart as every other DR has done. I'm not impressed with her decision, listen, or lack of care and wouldn't suggest anyone go to her.
We love Dr. Garcia
Gr8

She and her intern took the time needed and explained my sons progress. She was able to answer my questions and made me feel confident about my sons progress.
She was professional, she listens to my concerns and addressed them in a way that I could understand.
She is a really good doctor I recommend or to everybody
Top-notch provider. She was very complete in explaining the problem, and her plan for possible treatment. And, personally, very pleasant and accomodating.
Dr Garcia is one of the most competent doctors I have ever met. She was thorough in my examination, very professional, and extremely confident that she could help me. I would recommend Dr Garcia to all of my friends and most importantly my family members. I would personally like to thank Dr Garcia for taking the time, and helping me with a problem that many doctors could not diagnose properly.

Wonderful Doctor!!
Dr. Garcia is wonderful!
Each staff person that assisted me was great!
Dr Garcia and her staff were excellent in the attentiveness and providing informations and answering questions in an easy going and polite manner.
Dr. Garcia was running behind schedule and this is the reason we were running behind
Dr Garcia has great bedside manor. She was kind and gentle while assessing my pot-op hand. She explains the plan of care well.
I was honestly nervous to go to the clinic. For fear I would be dismissed by my pains I've had in my wrist for 2 years (comes and goes). The fact that Dr. Garcia listened without any judgement in her demeaner, explained the diagnosis and then gave me multiple treatment options just floored me. Sometimes you are so used to being dismissed about pains (especially when they're not consistent) and she was the first person to take it seriously and offer me treatment aside from throwing pills at me. Thank you! It is so empowering to know that not every provider thinks you're crazy. :)
Dr was excellent about drawing pictures to explain what my problem was.
I was seen by a fellow and by doctor Garcia. Both were very kind, attentive, and helpful
She was very knowledgeable of my case. I would recommend her very highly
