What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Dr. Garces talks to you and not at you. He listens to your concerns and then he discusses your options with you. He respects the choices you are able to make. He will tell you after all this is the USA. He always makes sure you don't have any questions before he ends your visit. You can tell he really cares about his patients mental and physical well being before and after surgery/ treatment. If you have breast cancer he would be the best choice . I'm speaking from experience.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Great surgeon. Amy, the nurse coordinator, works incredibly hard to begin the process and is always available to assist outside of the surgery end of things (ie, scheduling chemo when no one returns your calls, assisting with other questions/referrals regarding cancer treatment). [Removed portion of comment about the independent surgery center, not related to care provided by Dr. Garces.]
