Philosophy of care | I stress the importance of communication between my patients, their family members and me. Whether I am with a patient in the office or at the bedside, I spend as much time as is necessary to ensure all their questions are answered. It’s important that patients and families know what to expect before, during and after surgery. | Why I entered medicine | When I was growing up, I had the utmost respect for our family physician. When I was in high school, I joined a program that allowed students to rotate through different departments in a local hospital.

I realized surgery was the area of medicine that allows people to see almost immediate symptom relief. That appealed to me. | Personal interests | I have three children. I enjoy spending my free time with them reading, playing and just watching them grow up. Dr. Garcia is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Gastrointestinal Fistula.
