Report
I absolutely love Dr. Garcia! I am a medical professional myself, so I believe I am slightly more critical when I go to a doctor. I have been taking my son to Dr. Garcia for over a year now, and I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with her and the entire staff/ facility. Dr. Garcia always takes the time to listen to my concerns. She is thorough and very knowledgeable. My experience is that she is truly a kind person and cares deeply about her patients.
The front desk staff have always been friendly and efficient. The nurses are great as well. The office is clean and has cute kids murals on the walls in the rooms. Overall, I highly recommend Bee Cave Pediatrics. I trust Dr. Garcia with the most important thing in my life. my son!
