More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Patricia Garcia is very knowledgeable, patient and understanding. I was quite pleased with how she approached me with questions and tried to find solutions to each problem that was discussed.

Patricia is one of the kindest and most empathetic doctors I have met with, and I have been in psychiatric care for 11 years. I’m thrilled that I finally found a provider I can trust and feel comfortable with! I highly recommend her to anyone seeking medication management for mental illnesses.

April 18, 2024Solstice S.Verified patient

Awful psychiatrist. On the first visit I shared personal information with her about my trauma and how it’s been extremely difficult to even look for a provider. She ended up prescribing me medication. I took it for two weeks and then felt very off. Come to find out this med had a severe interaction with my genesight results. I told her my concerns and how I felt & she disregarded everything that I said and said that the med were working for her other clients very well?? She then prescribed me another med that I have no clue about after our visit. I messaged her and asked if we can do a follow up to talk about the new med. She kept going back-and-forth with me being very dismissive, and disregarding everything I was saying. She then cancels our follow up visit and says it wasn’t a good fit. I have no clue why.. maybe because I expressed how I felt about what is entering my body? She even mentioned that this is not talk therapy and she’s only here to prescribe meds. She’s awful. ?

My conversation with Patricia Garcia was excelente. So profesional, ask me everything to make sure what was my problem, explained me different situations. And helped me understand how I was feeling and to help me feeling better. I feel very confident.

March 22, 2024Mery C.Verified patient

She was amazing! I reached out because my current provider was less than satisfactory and Dr. Patricia Garcia absolutely nailed it. She covered everything I was worried about, reevaluated my meds and made me feel 100% better already with my situation. I can't thank her enough for her care and attention to me as a new (desperate) patient. Thank you!
