Hi, I'm Marianna, I have been working with Dr. Garcia since 2014. I assist with the management of our financial information. I genuinely believe in constantly improving our practice's ability to serve our patients and oversee all billing situations. Hello, my name is Stacey. I started working with Dr. Garcia in 2013.

Dr. Garcia presented "Diabetic Retinopathy: Ocular review and Update" at Grand Rounds at St. Joseph Hospital.

During this eye exam you will receive a complete exam with the Ophthalmologist and/or Optometrist. Our doctors use a wide variety of tests and procedures to examine your eyes. These tests range from simple ones, such as having you read an eye chart, to complex tests, such as using a high-powered lens to visualize the tiny structures inside of your eyes.

I waited for more than 45 minutes and finally just told the receptionist I was going to leave as wait too long. Especially with so many people in waiting area in this COVID era. I missed an afternoon of work for nothing - I am in the service industry and I don’t make people wait and if for some reason I have to I have someone go out and let them know I am running behind etc.

I have been a patient of Dr. Garcia and his staff for over 25 years. I recently had cataract surgery and the entire experience was beyond reproach. As always his entire staff was friendly, helpful, and understanding. I want to give a special thank you to Dr. Garcia's Director of Surgery Scheduling, Paula Gomez. Her expertise and knowledge in explaining all the pertinent information left nothing to question.

When dad passed away I was left to care for my blind disabled brother so I had to learn everything there was about caring for a prosthetic eye and I needed a new doctor to check him out. My brother was complaining of pain so when I saw MD EYE CARE on Chapman here in Orange near my home,I paid them a visit to make an appointment. It was my first time here and they do accept my brother's insurance so when they told me the next appointment for new patients would be in 3 months I was shocked. I told her my brother was in pain and we needed to see the doctor or someone much sooner but the receptionist

I have only been to the orange location and generally see Dr. Kwok , but was scheduled with Dr. Tran for my yearly check-up the end of last year. As previous reviews, an appointment time is really not set in stone, as they are always overbooked. After finally being called back at least 10-15 minutes later (sometimes longer) than your appointment time, you then wait in a second waiting room, sometimes upwards of an hour, which unfortunately has happened to me.
While all the doctors themselves are fabulous, my main issue lies with the front desk staff. The women are not on the same page as the

Dr. Garcia and his staff have always been very professional and efficient. I've had two cataract surgeries and both went very smoothly. The surgery center they use is also excellent. Paula the office manager is very helpful, friendly and accommodating. The only reason I didn't give a five -star is because the cost of the crystallens is quite a bit more than other offices I called. I still went ahead with those lenses and am very happy I did. I didn't want to switch doctors just for the price.

I would not recommend this office. The staff was nice enough, but the office is run in an absolutely overbooked manner. There were over 20 people there at once. My appointment was at 230, and I got there at 215 as a new patient to fill out paperwork. I proceeded to wait and wait and wait some more.... I ended up finishing my appointment at almost 5pm! That's all the proof I need to know I will never be returning to this business.

This review is tough. I love Dr. Garcia, he was fantastic and the staff are all very nice. If just for him I would have given 5 stars. The problem, and it is a large one, is how busy the office is. I had a 9:15 appointment. I was there early for paperwork. I didn't leave the appointment until 10:40. For a routine exam this is unacceptable. They clearly are overbooked, they must be putting at least 2 people every 15 minutes, given the number of people in the office. I hope the office reconsiders what policy they have to show their patients a little more respect for their time.

I have been to this office several times.. with each visit it is getting worse. My problem is not with the Doctors as much as it is with the office staff.. issues making appointments, they schedule us then cancel at the last minute due to them not getting the proper eligibility dates. They schedule an appointment for my annual exam, calling me the morning of to verify that I am coming in, then when I get there 30 minutes later they tell me I'm not eligible for my exam! I raised a stink and pointed out their error where they refused to admit fault.. I like the Doctors, the staff however needs

I am a medical assistant and this past week has been crazy for me. I got a really bad pain in my eye, went to the er and they misdiagnosed me, my boss referred me to Dr. Garcia and he finally has me on the road to recovery!!! His office is very organized and efficient! His office worked me in and I waited less than 15 minutes! The office is very welcoming and it is a very clean environment! I would recommend this office to all of my patients and my family!

I have been here now four times and seen 3 different doctors for the same issue. This place is ran horribly. I've waited over an hour the last two visits with no outcome to my issue.
Do not come to this place. Something is going on the way they turn and burn these patients. You wait in two separate waiting rooms (2nd one doesn't even have the lights on).
They must be frauding someone to have to schedule like this. They collect your deductible BEFORE you get seen by a doctor which is a HIGE red flag to me. Who pays before the service?
They have a bunch of intern type folks who act

Had an exam of my eyes. I guess you could say, my eyes were opened!
I used to go to the optometrist, you know, the eye doctor on the corner or in the mall. Like lenscrafters and such. Or Costco. Whatever was convenient.
This time, I had insurance, and it covers my eye exam. I didn't know that. It turns out that a lot of insurances cover the eye exam, so I don't have to pay out of pocket any more! Yeah! Okay, back to the review, so I look in the list of covered doctors, and it says that MD Eyecare is covered. Huh. It sounds better than the corner doctor, so I make an appointment.
