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.

Muy buen médico y excelente servicio

My appointment was confirmed twice via text. I arrived early since it was my first time seeing this Dr. I filled out the forms and waited. I waited past my original scheduled time. Once 30 minutes had passed from my scheduled appointment I approached the registration desk and asked whether they could provide an ETA. They could not. I waited for and additional 15 minutes at which time I left. If you can't run your office in an orderly manner I'm not letting you treat me. Do Not Recommend!

Dr Garcia is a caring, friendly physician. His bedside manners are excellent. Explains things to you in detail, and you never feel he is trying to rush his way through the visit. He is a true professional, and equally compassionate human being. He was truly called by the Lord to be a physician. Recommend him highly!
