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.

My son is been going to this practice for more than 9 years now. All the doctors and staff have always been very knowledgeable and helpful. We have changed out of kaiser before in order to be able to see this doctor.

Awful, will not be going back. My child has been misdiagnosed twice. The doctor will not write a referral to the specialist and will not prescribe meds.

My son is 13 and had been seeing Dr. Garcia since he was about three. My son seemed to like him okay ... until about a week ago, that is. Some while back Dr. Garcia had referred my son to a psychiatrist for Turrets treatment and medication, then one day that other doctor simply dropped out of practice without warning or new address. Dr. Garcia only gave my son a one-time 30-day refill, but flat out refused a 2nd even though the earliest possible appointment for a new doctor is a month away.

Dr. Garcia is a great Doctor. We have been going with him for the past 16 years. I like the fact that he talks to the kids directly making them feel comfortable in answering back. Office is always nice and clean, front desk receptionist are great too!.
