Review for Dr. Walzman

Dr. Garcia was the perfect surgeon for our daughter following an ACL and meniscus tear at gymnastics. He took the time to explain the entire process and timeline before the surgery was performed so we were always aware of what to expect. She is now back to normal and participating in sports again....
