Patient Reviews
Jun 10, 2017
I went to see Dr Garcia after suddenly developing a mass on my right side of neck. It was growing and there was no pain and I didn't have a cold that would contribute to swelling of the glands. It turned out to be a second brachial cleft cyst and Dr Garcia was able to remove it . He was wonderful in easing anxiety i was feeling about being hit with a sudden growing lump that was naturally causing my mind to go to the worst thoughts and was very thorough in my evaluation and decision for surgery.
