Some
Kind Words
Just a short note
to let you all know what a great dentist Dr. Garcia is and his staff are
wonderful. They try their best to accommodate your every need. I have three
kids (age 11, 9, 6). They are so patient with each one of them. He works
with your schedule to meet your needs. My children and I have received birthday
cards and also sympathy cards from Dr. Garcia and his staff. I feel they
are a great team together. We have been coming to see Dr. Garcia and staff
for 9 years.

I like to tell
people about Dr. Garcia. I like to tell people about my teeth. I like my
beautiful smile. My teeth and gums are healthy. That means a lot to me...
I'm 65. Not long ago I wasn't sure I would be showing off my own teeth.
But, I am thankful to the extensive restorative dental procedures performed
by Dr. Garcia and his very capable staff. Amazingly, through it all I had
a good time. He makes it interesting, he worked fast and he was patient
with my idiosyncrasies. Everyone in the office somehow make the time there
fun.

Throughout all
phases of any dental procedure, Dr. Garcia and his staff go to great lengths
to ensure patient comfort. It's just plain "nice to know" there
is a professional like Dr. Garcia who won't settle for just "good enough"
when it comes to doing my dental work.

Dear Dr. Garcia,
I
would like to express my appreciation for the outstanding service you
and your staff have provided over the past three years. Everyone in your
office has been very courteous and efficient. Without a doubt, my dental
health has improved significantly as a result of your team's efforts.
Prior
to moving to the local area, I had difficulty establishing an effective
dental care program because I moved frequently and lived in some rather
remote locations. Once I settled in Albuquerque, I asked friends and associates
to give me the names of their dentists. My next door neighbors gave me
your name and strongly recommended that I try your office. I'm sure glad
I took their advice.
From
the first time I stepped into your office, it was obvious that making
patients feel important and comfortable are top priorities. Your administrative
and technical assistants have been very friendly and informative. They
have always exhibited a high degree of skill and caring.
Each
of the dental procedures performed by your team have gone smoothly and
have been very effective. I appreciated the extra time and effort you
took to explain these procedures in detail and to provide options for
my consideration. As a result of your efforts, I am now able to maintain
good dental health through routine checkups, cleanings, and home care.
Thanks
again for the exceptional dental service. Please give my best to your
staff.
Respectfully,
Dennis L. Lester
We never thought
going to the dentist could be a pleasant experience, but Dr. Garcia and
his staff make you so comfortable while they're "working their magic"
on your teeth.

I would like to
say that I have been very pleased with my dental work from Dr. Roderick
Garcia. I have had an upper plate, Lower partial, root canal and root canal
repair. I would like to say thanks to you and your whole staff. They were
wonderful to me.

I have been going
to Dr. Roderick Garcia since the year we moved to Albuquerque in 1989. He
is a caring doctor, and if you have a difficult appointment, either someone
on the staff calls on you the next day, or Rick does. I have found the staff
to be thoughtful and wanting to please. I feel that Rick and his assistants
are very thorough in their exams and teeth cleaning. Rick is willing to
help you in any way he can to keep your mouth in shape. His services are
reasonable and the staff will work with you in the finances.
My
experience with Rick has been extremely pleasant and I recommend him highly
as a dentist and a friend.

To Whom It Concerns:
My Family and I have been under Dr. Garcia's care for more than 10 years
and we highly recommend his dental practice for the quality of care he provides.
Dr. Garcia's
professionalism, knowledge, and gentleness are combined with patience
and compassion that promotes confidence and comfort in his patients. This
approach is evident in all of the office staff as well, making us feel
they are there to serve us with the highest standards.
We also have
found Dr. Garcia to be very available to us for questions and concerns.
He and his staff are able to explain procedures, options, and recommendations
thoroughly, then allowing whatever time necessary for understanding and
decision making. This is an important aspect to us as we are members of
the health care community as well.
It is truly
inspiring to find such dedicated people in service to our family and others.
Respectfully,
Sue Dragan
