She is very pleasant, this was my first US gynecologist visit and I was a bit anxious about the pap smear and physical tests, she was great, I didn’t feel anxious in the examination room at all. Highly recommend her

It was my first time being seen with Dr. Barcia. She was so patient extremely nice she’s bilingual. She’s very sweet and knowledgeable and very calm. Any gyno visit can be awkward and not fun. She’s was informative and made it not awkward at all. Definitely recommend her! She’s the only Doctor I’ve seen in general that doesn’t rush a visit she actually takes her time explaining everything to meet your fertility goals! ??

I filled out my paperwork as soon as I came into the office. The receptionist requested my license and medical cards everything moved quickly. I was called to the back in about ten minutes or so and then I had to return back to the front because it was a little busy however, my appointment was for 1:30 and I called the office and was told I could come earlier so I expected there to be some wait times especially because I came earlier. Dr. Barcia-Pena was a sweetheart. She’s been in the business since 2004 and it shows. She exemplified a true desire to educate me as a patient and kept me comfortable throughout my experience. The office is beautiful, the doctor is amazing, and the staff is kind! Really enjoyed my visit.
