    I've been a patient of Family Doctors of Green Valley for 2 years now. Originally was coming for regular family practice appointments and I have never been disappointed. Nice office and great staff! They never have me waiting too long in the waiting room, which I really love. I recently learned that they do medical weight loss, so now I am using HCG for the first time and loving it because I am losing weight easily without being hungry. My energy levels are higher than ever. This office is so great. I would recommend it for sure!

    I recently had a routine chest x-ray done. A follow up appointment was scheduled. Days before my appointment a call was received by me stating that something was seen in my lungs and a CT was needed. I had the CT done. A day later DR. GARCIA called me with some scary news. The CT results did not look good. Before she notified me she reached out to another top notch surgeon who only sees patients on Mondays. With her overwhelming concern and the help of this doctors nurse, I was able to secure a appointment for this Monday. I would just like to thank DR. GARCIA, and TRACY, the referrals specialist. They may have saved my LIFE!!!!!
