  1. I had surgery April 29th 2013 with Dr Garcia and his team. They make you feel welcomed & comfortable before surgery. When i arrived i met beautiful Ana!! She is the Secretary(new) She was very caring and was only suppose to do my admit/discharge papers but took the time out of her day to come and talk to me:) She would check on things that had nothing to do with her department! I met dr Garcia before my surgery. Very sweet and a little shy. Listened to me about being soo modest. thank god!! he drew the procedure on his tablet explaining everything. I met Dr Valasco who answered all my questions and spent lots of time in my room making sure I was ok. Hospital Oasis made sure I was not in pain or had nausea (meds). The first night was rough. I had pain, nausea, was very hot, miserable and my blood sugar went up. Dr garcia nurses right away gave me a fan and medicine. (insulin)

    I will say there were 2ladies there that had a DIFFRENT Dr. and they had surgery same day as me. they had pain meds once, they had no window, no fan (super hot in there room). I started gatorade & apple juice. they were still getting ice chips, getting ready to be released!! Also they had only one leak test after surgery. I felt bad for them and pray they are at a healthy revovery.

    The way the Dr's talk about eachother is amazing. You can tell they are close and truly care about each other.

    I THANK DR GARCIA AND HIS WONDERFUL TEAM for a second chance at life!
