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- Diaz and Neil are true blessings

Dr Garcia and Dr Adrian are amazing!! They both actually listen to you. I have been seeing them for several years now. Every procedure has helped my quality of life undeniably. The staff is equally amazing! The front staff , the nurses and the staff in the back offices. Not only are they all so helpful but I leave in great spirits. We are all so blessed to have such two wonderful doctors here in Merced. I know I am.

Long story short, I have suffered from lower back pain for many years and it has gotten to the point where it was interfering with most of the routine things I do with my life. Dr. Garcia performed a radiofrequency ablation on the nerves most responsible for my back pain. It was actually only an 8-minute procedure and it took virtually all of my pain away. I wish I knew about him and this procedure long ago. Dr. Garcia Diaz is a highly trained extremely capable surgeon. You can feel his confidence when you talk to him in his office. I can't say strongly enough how much I recommend him and his capable performance as a surgeon.

Dr Garcia-Diaz has an outstanding bedside manner which is especially important when a patient is in pain. I have a procedure tomorrow with Dr Garcia-Diaz and expect outstanding results as he has performed a successful procedure for me previously. I especially want to thank Dr Garcia-Diaz for the selection of his staff, they have been so kind, courteous and professional. Ivana, surgery scheduler, has gone above and beyond in being kind and understanding. I have made several calls to her and she has never acted rushed or impatient and always answered my questions to my satisfaction. If she’s unable to answer my call she always returns the call in a timely manner. Kindness and expertise is especially important to patients in pain, so thank you Dr Garcia-Diaz and staff!!

Let me start off by saying Dr Garcia Diaz is a wonderful Doctor and has made my life so much better with almost no pain after my procedure. His staff is also very friendly and the environment is so nice and refreshing and the cleanest I’ve seen. I also would like to mention Ivana who I probably kept asking many questions everyday and she always was friendly, she made me feel very comfortable and at ease. I can say I am for the most part pain free and appreciate so much how above and beyond this office goes for patient care.

Dr. Garcia-Diaz is an exceptional spine surgeon specialist. He is very helpful and kind every time I come in and out, which is greatly supported by the surgery scheduler Ivana. She is the sweetest and kindest person and makes scheduling a breeze not only for me but for everyone who needs her service.

I would like to thank and point out miss ivana I did not know what to do on a couple issues I had and she worked things out so I did not worry about anything and that took a lot of me. Drs are great too they seem genuinely concerned and make feel relaxed.

Scheduling staff is unsympathetic to patients needs and pain. No sense of urgency, patient support or basic customer service. I have experienced this every single visit/procedure. Dr. Garcia’s potential as a physician could be great but his inexperienced support staff could continue to cause patients of Merced to seek help elsewhere.
