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.

Telehealth
Dr. Garcia is fantastic! I was referred over for my gallbladder surgery and she made sure to walk me through what to expect and address every question and concern I had. Also her office staff in both locations got me in and out for my pre and post op appointments very quick, which is amazing because I’ve been to other doctor’s offices where an appointment means nothing and you end up waiting a very long time. I’m very happy I went with Dr. Garcia!

Great Doctor!
Dr. Garcia took the time to explain and talk and listen. Usually, doctor are in and out and try to get rid of you. Dr. Garcia is the opposite. Staff is friendly, and the what time is none. They were on schedule. Fantastic office.

Excellent Doctor
I was referred to Dr. Andrea Garcia for my gallbladder. Her office staff are very friendly and efficient. Dr. Garcia came in shortly after my arrival. She is very professional and answered all my questions. Dr. Garcia explained my upcoming surgery and asked if I wanted to proceed. The surgical scheduler came to the room and asked me to follow. She explained getting ready for my surgery date and what needed to be accomplished. Such professional and caring people in this office.

Thank yooooou Dr. Garcia!
In spite of the normal fears that come with surgery, Dr Garcia made me feel secure with the procedure and did remarkable work. I'm a week into the healing process, and can already tell that the process is working as planned. Thank you Dr Garcia for all your help. -M.L

Warm, caring, and straightforward
This was my first meeting with Dr. Garcia. I found her to be warm and caring. She didn't try to convince me that everything would work out, but was willing to try. And, compared to some other doctors, she was very knowledgeable about my special health needs.

My first visit with Dr Garcia
Want to say I had a great experience at Dr Garcia office. From the front desk staff, MA, and meeting with Dr Garcia she was phenomenal. She was quick to tell me what is wrong and the steps we need to do to get it fix. My last stop was with Melanie the surgical coordinator she was awesome too. She lined up everything with when we’ll be scheduling for my surgery. I’m so happy I went there for my healthcare needs. I highly recommend them. Thank you

Follow Up
I went in for a post surgery follow up appointment. The ladies in the front were very helpful and professional. Mari was extremely helpful when I had a question about billing. She was able to answer all of my questions. The medical assistant was also professional and polite. Dr. Garcia was running a few minutes behind and she apologized. She did an excellent job and answered some questions I had regarding my surgery. Thank you Dr. Garcia and wonderful staff.

She took care of two things at once. She removed the appendix and repaired her hernia at the same time.
