Spent 2 minutes with me. Didn’t get the questions answered I needed to recover or receive follow up care. Started walking away when I was asking questions. Find another job if you don’t care about your patients. I will never go back and now have to see another doctor for care. Also, they say online all patients must wear masks, they weren’t! Beware! Waited an hour for nothing.

Dr Garcia performed double elbow surgery for my cubital tunnel syndrome 4Q19, as I had a lengthy period of neuropathy symptoms creating a significant level of constant discomfort. Only certain home circumstances would support double surgery and this was confirmed in advance. Such a relief to start the healing process quickly with both elbows and get back to golfing! My neuropathy symptoms quickly resolved but my nerves were now overly sensitive (expected for many post "release" of the constricted nerve.) Dr Garcia prescribed desensitization therapy and after that process he gave me elbow shots. Within 48 hours of that quick, in office treatment and I had 100% relief. No neuropathy and no more pissed off nerves! Dr Garcia is a quick thinker, frank, efficient, expert and a joy to visit. I'm enjoying my golf more than ever and sleeping well, without discomfort!!! Fantastic!

I had Dr Garcia for 2 surgeries. Hand and shoulder. He did an excellent job! He explained everything and was very personable. I would highly recommend him.

Went for a second opinion for a total joint surgery. MRI didn’t get forwarded from my Orthopedic office as requested, so cancelled the appointment; but got billed anyhow (for phantom visit, joint drainage, and cortisone injection). Called billing office to protest bill, was assured it would be cancelled, but then got a bill from a collection agency.. I have to get proof, so called back to office, they sent email with attachment I couldn’t open. I had to call back to Florida Orthopedic to call

I am leaving this gratitude for Dr. Michael Garcia. He is phenomenal in his practice to our community. He performed surgery on my right elbow in 2015 and is an outstanding surgeon as well as he takes time to explain and answers all questions. He is a super doc!

Dr. Garcia and entire staff have their act together! I went there to find out if I have a broken bone in my hand, and everything went seamlessly throughout my appointment. All of my questions were addressed, and I received guidance to care for my arthritis (as it turned out after the x-rays there was no broken bone). Strongly recommend Dr. Garcia and his entire staff!

A fantastic hand and elbow physician. He has fixed me up twice now and both experiences have been flawless. He knows his stuff. He works at a very fast pace and is definitely good at what he does. He is paired with a great team, and they all work well together.

Finding the best surgeon for me was a serious thing.
I read alot of reviews and spoke with alot of friends. I am so glad I found FOI and Dr Garcia. He operated on both of my shoulders for rotator cuff injuries between 2012 and 2018, and I can truly say he is a very competent surgeon who cares about his patients. Even though at times he was very busy he always took time to answer every question I had and I never felt rushed. I have recommended him to many friends, coworkers and acquaintances.
