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.

Efficient, Kind, and Smart!
I saw Dr. Garcia after I fell coming down from a mountain summit in CO. His nurse, Nicole, was very welcoming and was able to get me in with short notice. After leaving I had further questions and requests and Dr. Garcia’s staff went above and beyond to help straighten things out with the pharmacy and help me get some relief from a month of being in pain. I will continue to work with Dr. Garcia to resolve this issue and any other issues I may have in the future.

In 5/2017 I was given an MRI and Report Showing C4,-C-7 3 bulging discs with other serious cervical spinal problems. I moved to VB 10/2017 and went to see Dr Garcia who ordered an MRI report 10/17/2018 C3-4, minimal bulging-several narrowing C4-5,6,7 mild, nothing to worry about. Keep in mind my prior orthopedic surgeon provided me with the report I gave to Dr. Garcia's staff They also requested my prior documents. Dr Garcia's report shows minimal to moderate cervical damage, 1 slightly bulging disc. in C4-5, 5-6, and 6-7 both show discs bulging, spondylosis, bilateral facet disease-causing-moderate to severe narrowing. Since I was told on 5/17 I had severe cervical issues on 8/17 Garcia said one was severe the rest were mild. He sent me to physical therapy of which I had already done in the past. Dr. Garcia never reviewed my prior MRI or questioned how my cervical spine "healed itself from moderate to severe down to mild with bulging discs no longer bulging"He should retire-play golf

Terrific practice from Diana in reception, physical therapists, the nurses, PAs and doctors. So accommodating kind and professional. Ive never waited more than 15minutes and usually go right in. Dr. Garcia is a wonderful doctor he educates his patients and appreciates the patients involvement and decisions. Very intelligent, professional, kind and compassionate. He works with your timeline, wants and needs . He offers but does not push a range of options. You feel as if the whole practice really cares about their patients. I love my ortho people in Ga never thought Id find anyone as great here but I have ! Highly recommend Dr. Garcia

Garcia 1st reported neck and back injuries were symptomatic and work related. Days later he testified that his exam showed that spinal damage was asymptomatic and that the symptoms were due to polyneuropathy related to my diet in 2011. He ignored that 2002-2016 MRIs show extensive spine damage, that complaints were the same from 2002-2018, and treatment for spinal damage from 2011-16. Nor did he do a thorough neurologic workup to see whether nerve deficits corresponded to MRI findings.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Dr. Garcia. His knowledge, diagnostic and treatment skills are outstanding and are only exceeded by his and his staff's patient relationship skills. Dr. Garcia's innovative approaches to treatment for a wide variety of orthopedic conditions was perfect for me. I highly recommend him.

I have been seeing Dr. G. for over 8 years. I have numerous problems with my spine and hips. He has really helped me live a fuller and less painful life! He is very smart, compassionate, has a great sense of humor and never, ever rushes you. Put your trust in him, he will educate you about your body and that will help you in the long run! BEST doc I have seen for my issues, and I have tried many before him. His staff is just excellent also.
