Zach who works with Dr. Garcia makes all the difference! Zach went above and beyond for my dad, who is a disabled Veteran. When I had questions or needed additional help or approvals, Zach was one that had it all under control. He made me feel confident I was in the right place for treatment for my dad. Because of Zach, I had a great experience seeing Dr. Garcia. Zach is way over qualified for this position and I am thankful he is using his talents here.

January 2020 my husband ended up in ER-Corsicana. The results we needed to see an oncologist. Dr Ruben Garcia has an office in Corsicana,Tx one day a week & Athens, Tx . Lisa is Dr Garcia’s main nurse. God definitely lead us to the right people. Since then and 2 bladder surgeries, Dr Garcia is aggressive, definitely knows the issues with bladder cancer and hit the ground running. Lisa would consult with me if I didn’t understand the type of tests or any concerned questions I felt dumb to ask. He doesn’t shade the truth he’s open honest and a patient advocate to analyze and get patient on a road to recovery. Dr Garcia and Lisa truly have a gift helping and directing patients thru this cancer journey. I would recommend his office highly for their Organization, quick response time & compassion! Wherever his office is we will follow him.
