“She's great and very knowledgeable! Tries her best to get me, the patient, tested on other things (like blood work) to see what could potentially be causing my symptoms and gives advice on potential solutions to those symptoms. She tries her best and shows that she really cares. Definitely much better than other psychiatrists I've had in the past who just prescribe medications and call it a day. I recommend her.”

“Dr. Garcia is a great doctor. Dealing with PPD/OCD she was really able to help me. She listened and was able to determine what could help and goes above and beyond to see if there are underlying factors! I’ve had plenty of doctors in my past, and ie never really found anything to help. Dr. Garcia listened to my previous experience and was able to take that in to account to help me. I truly believe in her work ”
