03/03/2026
Dr. Garcia is very pleasant and nice. She is a calm person. Sometimes a specialist from Baptist will say one thing and the PCP will say the opposite so sometimes it will get confusing, so I try to straighten it out. But overall I am satisfied with Dr. Garcia.

I was completely satisfied with the way I was heard, attended to and formulated by Dr. Claudia Santiesteban Garca.
07/16/2025
Dr Claudia was very compassionate. As soon as she came into the room I could tell how caring she was. I went in for a physical exam and she made sure to check everything and went through all my medical history to make sure nothing was missed. Unfortunately I've had 2 recent miscarriages and I shared my concerns with her about wanting to get testing done to see if anything could be causing them and she got right to it, finding all the bloodwork and exams that could be ordered on her end to get to the bottom of this. She seemed determined to help me figure out what's wrong and what we can do to help me, which I really appreciated. I honestly haven't had a PCP in a while but I definitely found one worth keeping. Doctors like Dr. Claudia are rare and so deeply appreciated & I hope she knows the difference she makes.
