Provider Review
I started my foray into a surgical alternative for my obesity on July 5th 2010 at 300 pounds. I had a laparoscopic vertical sleeve gastrectomy accomplished by Dr. Pablo Daniel Garcia. My first impression of Dr. Garcia was that he was interested in me from the git go. My admiration of him as a humanitarian and prodigal surgeon grew with each conversation and meeting. You should know that Dr. Garcia is attentive, caring and available. He delights in his profession and the blessings it can bring to others (if they take advantage of the tools he offers). He also avails himself of current studies in his field and passes that information onto his patients. I like that A LOT. He emphasizes aftercare and offers support groups through meetings with him and educates his patients about Obesity. He is very honest about risks and benefits and that this surgery is just a tool. He is right. That is all it is. That is however, what made the difference for me. I took his advise very seriously. I am currently at 145 lbs. Overall, I would rate Dr. Garcia on a scale of 1 to 10 at 200+. I cannot speak highly enough of his caring and professional skills. So, which is better, his bedside manner or surgical competence? Well, if you would like both, choose Dr. Garcia and you will be in the very best of hands. The best part of this process and about Dr. Garcia is that 4 years after my surgery we still keep in touch, and we have a social group, and an orientation group, where all the patients can talk about their experiences to people who wants to make this important step in their life's, but they need that push to decide to do it. .:As a last resource to my constant struggle to lose weight was the best decision I have ever made and if I had the choice to do it again , I would do it in a heartbeat, and obviously with Dr. Pablo Garcia.:
