It’s not a good place
July 26, 2024Abhishek P.Verified patient
Dr. Garcia was great initially, but she became less cooperative and rather rude honestly. I found another endocrinologist, I don’t have time for the attitude.

Staff and Doctor were good and professional. The place was nice but crowded. When people were called they only called once and people missed their turn. The wait was an hour which I was not use to. Most places I wait at the most 20 minutes.

She took sufficient time to understand patient's health condition, reviewed the medication the patient currently taking and then advised accordingly
May 2, 2024Javed I.Verified patient
Dr. Garcia really knows her stuff and has a great deal of concern for her patients. She caught a lot that my PCP wasn’t aware of. I feel like I’m thoroughly taking care of with her.
