For over 24 years as a Plastic Surgeon in Las Vegas, Dr. Garcia has provided incomparable aesthetic surgical support to valley residents. He also has had the privilege of caring for patients from around the country and around the world, from places such as Alaska, the U.S. east coast, to as far away as Israel, Italy, and Great Britain. As a full-service cosmetic enhancement facility, available treatments ensure patient’s confidence in having found a home for all their elective surgery needs. Heading a 5-member professional team comprised of nurses, medical assistants and administrative staff, Dr. Garcia’s practice performs a full spectrum of procedures. Always sensitive to the needs of his patients, Dr. Garcia strives to maintain a high standard of low stress service access. Along with a friendly, family type environment, Dr. Garcia’s practice takes their customized service to yet another level. In addition to the more traditional undergraduate educational background in biology, Dr. Garcia also holds a degree in art history. This enables him to analyze clients’ needs from a purely artistic perspective. As a rule, Dr. Garcia and his staff log in excess of 60 hours a year for training in new technologies, such as new types of laser surgery and liposuction. Dr. Garcia is a dynamic force in the medical community, having served on the Board of Trustees of the Clark County Medical Society, as former vice chief of staff at Humana Sunrise Hospital and Chief of Plastic surgery at both Humana Sunrise and Valley Hospitals. Dr. Garcia is a Plastic Surgeon in Las Vegas, Board Certified in Plastic Surgery by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons and the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
