Grant H-Garcia's Online Review Report Card

I'm incredibly glad I went with Dr. Garcia for my ACL surgery. He is straightforward and professional, and his attention to detail is unmatched. Compared to the other surgeons we talked to, Dr. Garcia was a lot friendlier and upfront about the different choices of grafts that I had. I didn't feel lost at any point prior to surgery and during recovery, as he was very thorough and made sure any of my (and my mom's) questions were answered. I would give Dr. Garcia 10 stars if I could.

If I could give Dr. Garcia 10 stars I would. He made a knee repair that I was told could not be repaired. It does not get better than that.

My son had a torn labrum and other injuries to his shoulder from baseball. Dr. Garcia performed surgery a year ago. We can't say enough good things about Dr. Garcia. He is patient, calm, knowledgeable, supportive and knows his stuff. He made a difficult time much easier for the whole family. We highly recommend Dr. Garcia!

Dr Garcia operated on my knee following a traumatic fall. I am an active 58 yr old who had never had a serious injury. Dr Garcia gave me back full mobility and I am able to get back to biking, hiking and swimming. He has a terrific bedside manner and is an outstanding surgeon. I am experienced health care provider and recognize outstanding care which he exemplified. It wasn’t an easy recovery and he prepared me for that. I would totally recommend Dr Garcia.

I have been avid rock climber, mountaineer, and backcountry skier for over 20 years. In my youth I was a competitive distance runner. As a person who has been active her whole and life and still is, injuries happen. I have been seeing Dr. Garcia for years to treat my injuries. Dr. Garcia is an amazing surgeon dedicated to his craft. He also a caring and compassionate doctor who listens to you and understands how difficult it is to be an active person sidelined with an injury. Dr. Garcia wants to fix you so that you can get back out and do the things you love. In 2019 I had a left shoulder injury that made rock climbing painful. Dr. Garcia performed a bicep tendinosis surgery as well as arthroscopy on my AC joint. In only 6 weeks I was out climbing without pain and my shoulder has been pain-free for 2 years now; thus, allowing me to climb to my full potential. More recently, I started having issues with my right knee due to a ragged lateral meniscus and early signs of arthritis. After conservative treatment failed and the pain grew much worse, Dr. Garcia performed meniscus surgery. in June of 2021. Most importantly, I was in so much pain and Dr. Garcia made the effort to fit me into his schedule, which meant I only had to suffer for a few days. If you have any kind of shoulder, knee or elbow issue, I highly recommend Dr. Garcia. He will do whatever it takes to get you on the path to recovery and out doing what you love.

In 2010 I was involved in an accident while on duty as a peace officer that resulted in a complex knee injury. At the time, the ACL was the obvious injury and was replaced. In 2016, I suffered another injury where my ACL tore again due to my MCL being badly stretched or torn from the original accident. Another knee surgery was completed, again to replace the ACL but now including the revision of my MCL. Post recovery, I always noticed more lateral movement to my MCL but accepted it as "this as good as it would get." In 2020, while clearing a short fence, my knee locked up, and buckled inwards to the MCL side and causing a more complex injury. I found Dr. Garcia as a recommendation and for a second opinion. Dr. Garcia immediately identified more injury to my knee that the surgeon (that did the 2 prior surgeries) did, or at least informed me of. Dr. Garcia, was blunt and to the point about the treatments that I needed and the long recovery required. He diagnosed my right knee with having another torn ACL, Complete MCL tear and Meniscus Root tear. Dr. Garcia was very confident in what he needed to do and ensured me that his goal was to end my reoccurring issues with me knee. Needless to say, I enthusiastically elected Dr. Garcia to tackle my now THIRD knee surgery. I was very impressed with Dr. Garcia's team of nurses and PAs throughout the process. From my experience with this process, the PA Dr. Garcia assigned to me was in the operating room during my surgery. From a patient standpoint, I found this to be fantastic. I wasn't dealing with someone that had to "check" or be the relay person to Dr. Garcia. The PAs were there, and knew exactly the treatments I was provided first hand. Bravo!! I was just cleared to return to work and I feel great. I no longer have that "play" in my knee and I feel confident that this will be the last of my reoccurring knee issue. A huge shoutout to Dr. Garcia for taking care of my situation and for telling me exactly what I needed to hear! Also, a big shoutout to PA-C Gail Petteruti! She was wonderful handling my recovery post-surgery and helping me with my pain management. Gail was there on the day of operation, so when I had questions, she gave me the true and accurate answers I was looking for. Great Job to everyone involved. -Rob

Dr. Garcia made me feel heard. I saw many doctors prior and not one listened to me, made me feel crazy, and told me to lose weight. Dr. Garcia not only helped me get better after several months, but also made me feel comfortable and encouraged to fully recover. He made it easy to understand what was going on and was incredibly patient. Would HIGHLY recommend.

Dr Garcia is super friendly and helpful. Always takes some time to answer my questions about the two surgery’s I’ve had with him.

Dr. Garcia did an amazing job repairing our son Jacob’s torn labrum and bone spur in his throwing arm this past July. The guidance provided during his recovery was very clear and easy for a teenager to follow. We were surprised at the range of motion and how smooth his shoulder felt as he began physical therapy. Jacob was just fully cleared to start pitching again and we really appreciate the top notch care that Dr Garcia provided to get him past this injury and back on the mound this Spring!

I consulted Dr. Garcia about a problem with my knee. He was thorough, informative, and totally professional.
