This is not in relation to my experience with Dr. Diaz Garcia. When looking to schedule an appointment with an ENT, specifically a laryngologist, the scheduling team sent me to a hearing specialist instead. This meant I was charged $500 for what my insurance deemed as an "elective" hearing test with audiology, which is a prerequisite to see a hearing specialist in the ENT department. Dr. Kennedy was a wonderful person to speak with, and she kindly canceled my appointment and sent me to Dr. Diaz Garcia instead. According to Dr. Kennedy, this sort of scheduling mishap happens all the time. I was very fortunate to be able to see the specialist I needed in a reasonable time frame considering the confusion, but I worry for people who are being sent to the wrong professional and then paying out of pocket for procedures and tests that insurance is not wrongfully denying coverage for. I didn't need the hearing test to see a laryngologist, but I was told I needed to see Audiology before ENT by scheduling. Nobody corrected that in any point of the process until the end of my laryngologist appt, which was a bit frustrating. I don't know the best way to ensure this doesn't happen to others moving forward, but it could be beneficial to remind the schedulers to listen more carefully to the needs of someone seeking an ENT appointment. Other than that, my experience with Dr. Diaz Garcia was wonderful. I felt validated, heard, cared for, and I am confident I am in very professional and capable hands! This particular appointment made me a bit nervous as a professional vocalist who was experiencing some discomfort, but my nerves were soothed almost immediately by her extensive knowledge, excellent bedside manner, and professional demeanor. Thank you, Dr. Diaz Garcia! !

Dr. Garcia is such a wonderful, caring, experienced doctor. It took me quite a while to bring up my issue and I'm lucky I found her. The only thing I would recommend is a better answer to our questions on MyChart. If you leave a message, sometimes the provider does not get it.

Very hard to get an appointment with Dr Diaz. She came highly recommended by multiple of my providers so it was worth the wait. She was wonderful. She is very knowledgeable and can see she is very passionate about caring for her patients. She is what you like to have in a provider. She just needs to clone herself ?. I look forward to working with her as my provider. The office staff are all very pleasant also. Everyone so good at making you feel welcome.
