My first time having an allergy issue. He paid close attention to every thing I had to say and noticed issues I was not even aware of by a thorough exam. Definitely going back for a follow up.

Excellent Doctor and staff!!!
Verified patient
Fantastic and caring physician. Spent lots of time during appointment to obtain medical hx and determine a reasonable plan of care. Highly recommend.
He's so attentive and thorough. The nurses are also very nice. Made us feel like we are in good hands and that our toddler's issues are being resolved correctly.
Verified patient
Everyone I interacted with was very friendly. The doctor has a good bedside manner and he clearly knows what he's talking about. The nurses/the women at the front desk were very helpful and nice. But two hours is a ridiculous long time to be sitting and waiting for the doctor.
Dr. Garcia is very thorough. He spends time with the patient and is not rushed. The Staff are friendly, efficient and helpful.
Verified patient
Even thing went smoothly.
Verified patient
I was very impressed with Dr. Garcia. He was the nicest most personable and caring doctor I've seen in years. I'll be telling my friends and family.
Verified patient
Yes, I will be seeing Dr. Garcia again. He was totally understanding with my concerns and was very thorough in his evaluation.
Buen doctor
Attentive, warm and friendly.
Verified patient
The only positive thing I can say about this man is that he did his dictation while he was in the room. He was very rude, unprofessional, and even my toddler (the patient) was uneasy around him. His nursing staff is nice but underappreciated. The lady at the front desk leaves a lot to be desired. After waiting an hour and a half for an appointment, we were brought into the room and got to hear the dr chatting up and introducing a patient's mother to his wife because they owned a business they frequented. No care as to the fact that I had been waiting forever. The visit was pointless, as he said the same things as the previous and forgot to order all of the tests that were 'so important.' In short- we won't be back.
Encouraging
Did not have a good first visit with dr Garcia. He was rude and unprofessional. Will be looking for a new allergy doctor immediately.
Dr. Garcia is extremely thorough and very knowledgable. He helped me immediately with a nagging cough I had .. Highly recommend him.
Verified patient
I would highly recommend Dr Garcia. He is the first Dr that seemed to really understand the problems my allergies have been causing me. Most specialists that I have seen are in and out of the room in less than five minutes but he spent over twenty minutes discussing my symptoms and what steps he is going to take in my treatment.
I liked his treatment plan, a little hard to communicate at first, almost like a strict parent as far as the questioning goes. I would recommend him, if you are a Spanish person, heavy accent...
HE IS WONDERFUL AND THE STAFF IS TERRIFIC
Verified patient
This was my first visit to Dr. Garcia. I was seen at the South Tampa location. I was greeted as if I had been their favorite patient for years. I felt like everyone from the reception, to the nurses, and doctor were attentive throughout the entire appointment. My concerns were all addressed and documented, and paperwork for further testing was processed for me. I am looking forward to my follow up appointment.
Verified patient
He was great. The lady that took me in for my breathing tests was just awesome. The lady that checked me out didn't tell me where to go for my blood work or that i should take vitamin d with my allergy perscriptions. Thank goodness my mom goes here or I wouldn't have known. It was my first time there. Overall experience was good.
Verified patient
Knowledgable, but comes on a little strong.
