“My first impression of Dr. Irani was that he was a very educated, professional. After I had my surgery, I got to know him in the hospital and afterwards. I have found him to be a warm, caring, thoughtful person. He really listens. I’m glad that I have him as my doctor. He anticipates my questions and concerns. He’s a 10!”

“Dr. Garcia was a wonderful surgeon. He always left me with a sense of confidence whenever I went to see him. He was very straigtforward with me about what he required of me and what to expect of the surgery. He had a great bedside manner and I always felt like he was very truthful with me. He always would ask me if I had any questions or concerns and never seemed in a hurry to move on to the other patient. I would highly recommend Dr. Garcia to anyone else seeking a surgeon in Bakersfield area.”

“Dr. Irani is professional and compassionate. He checked with the refering physician to make sure the surgery was necessary before scheduling. The laparoscopic procedure went smoothly; everything to expect was explained clearly in advance. I was back to normal activities within a few days. I could not ask for a more skilled or caring physician. I have no hesitation highly recommending him to friends and family. I am grateful to him for his services.”

“Great praises for Dr. John Garcia. when I first met Dr. Garcia I was pleasantly surprised to find him to be direct and honest man. He took the time to explain my options, what would take place and make sure what it was that I wanted. Surgery went well and my post-op visit was equally as impressive. He took the time to make sure that all was well with me. His office staff was friendly and professional. I couldn’t ask for more.”
