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. Vangie Duran 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. JeanAnn Johnson 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. Jim Grcevich, Capt., USAF, Retired 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, 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. Nancy and Hugh Shepard 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. Dorthy Hills 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. Barbara Caldwell 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, |
