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.

Excellent!
Dr Garcia was gracious, listened to my issues and concerns, provided one or two solutions and scheduled a scan to verify what was/wasn't happening. I didn't feel rushed. I am quite happy with him as my GP.

I find Dr Garcia to be rude, uncaring, always late, unprepared, and basically indifferent as to whether or not he can help your medical problems. His staff is also rude, and uncaring. It is hard to get appointments, they act like they are doing you a favor by doing their job. When questioning a staff member through the davita portal regarding an appointment, the reply was, " yea, that dr Garcia is a real jerk, isn't he?" I was startled by the low level of professionalism that runs in this office, and throughout Davita for that matter!
