Jorge Garcia-Zuazaga's Online Review Report Card

Originally went to Apex Dermatology as a referral from my doctor. I had a suspicious spot above my eye. I was seen by the CNP. She reviewed the spot above my eye and determined it was nothing to be concerned about. However, I had another spot on my temple. That one needed to be removed. It has healed up nicely. I then went for a routine full body check. Nothing additional of concern was found. I spend a lot of time in the sun when cycling and I feel better knowing my skin has been looked at. Made a follow-up appointment for next year. My daughter is a nurse and agrees that this is a good practice to follow!

I've been a patient at Apex Dermatology for about 15 years and have 2 Mohs surgeries for cancer done by Dr. Garcia and many freezing's and biopsies. I have always been treated with respect, dignity and cordiality. I trust these doctors! I was there last week and Dr. Mckeen did my bi-annual body check. She found two lesions that I wasn't even aware of.

I originally went to Apex because I had a weird spot on my neck. They got me in the same day and removed the suspicious growth (benign!). That was the positive. I scheduled a "all-over" skin check because I felt it's something that should be done after a lifetime of outdoor activities. I fully expected to be thoroughly examined with a bright light and a magnifying glass because sometimes abnormal spots cannot be seen with the naked eye. Nope. The overhead flourescent light and the nurse practioner's eyes were "good enough." I have a pink spot on my cheek that I was concerned about. Her response? "Well, if I can't see it, you don't have to worry about it." (I see it with a magnifying mirror at home) This was the quickest (5 minutes or so) and incomplete exam that I'll ever be expected to pay for. I was asked if I want to schedule my appointment for next year. Ummmm, no, I'll have my husband do it. It'd be about the same. Next "doctor" please......

Had the unfortunate experience of having this "doctor " perform a procedure on me. I am far from sensitive, but this dr was so rude, condescending and insulting that I will not be back for any type of follow up. I have no desire to be treated like a pike of garbage. I have found someone else to assess the issues and would never recommend this person to anyone else

The office staff were the coldest people I have ever encountered in a medical office. You could freeze ice on their behinds. Didn't even see the doctor, saw the nurse practitioner. Will never go back!

Did not see doctor was seen by CNP. She spent about 5 minutes with me including treatment. The exam room had two trays of open medication, syringes, swaps from previous patients. The wall had chunks of plaster missing.

great doctor and staff. I would recommend Dr. Garcia Apex Dermatology to anyone.

I was recently diagnosed with Basal Cell Carcinoma on my nose. Several years ago I had another local doctor freeze the small area on my nose, but I noticed a change in the area as it came back. As a health care professional myself, I researched and was lucky to find Dr. Z who does Mohs surgery. On my initial exam with "Gale" their NP, she was kind, empathetic, and listened to my concerns about cancer (especially on my nose), and the diagnosis was correct. I haven't had my surgery yet, but feel confident and very grateful, that in the Lake County area, we have a Dr. with his experience (he's done thousands of Mohs, per my research). From my initial visit with Gale (who knew something was wrong from the get go and didn't poo-poo my concerns), to the office staff, to the kind gal who gave me my biopsy results, I can't thank them enough! Be patient is my advice. Cancer doesn't happen over night, so allow enough time to make informed decisions and ask questions. I'm so grateful that we have this experienced doctor and staff in our area! As a blonde, blue eyed female I try hard to protect my face, and skin cancer can happen to anyone!! Check anything out that's not usual.

Dr. Garcia and his staff are friendly and courteous. It's easy to schedule appointments. and they send e-mail reminders. He took the time to explain procedures and demonstrated that he cares about his patients.

Great doc. Approachable, friendly, knowledgeable. i would take my family to see him without reservation. Staff courteous and they run on time. Explained procedure in detail. Visit was great.
