I was seen by Dr. Garcia in the OBGYN department for my pregnancy. She provided me with good care. Sometimes I felt I was it was a bit rushed, but when I stopped her to ask questions she always listened. The front staff are also very kind. My literal one and only issue with this office was that they NEVER ANSWERED THE PHONE. I mean, never. If you needed to see the doctor, you had to make an appointment and go in person. Apart from that, everything else was wonderful. Also keep in mind that the OB’s in this practice do not go to the hospital to deliver your baby. I was okay with it, but keep that in mind for yourself.
I recommend this clinic to all mothers. Doctor Garcia Mercedes was the best doctor. She would make sure everything was ok when I was pregnant and she would recommend what I needed for my pain as well as exercises for my pregnancy and what to do and not to do. So far I had the best pregnancy and no problems, except braxton hicks would confuse me from contractions bc I was a new mother but other than that my pregnancy was great thanks to her. If anyone is picking this clinic I would recommend Doctor Garcia Mercedes you won’t regret it. Sooner when I’m ready to have my second baby I’ll come back as her patient again.
I went here for my Covid-19 vaccinations, definitely a 12 out of 10. The process was smooth and very well organized. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes. The staff is extremely polite, friendly and professional.
