Dr. Garcia is a proud Arizona native. Born and raised in Scottsdale with his 3 siblings, most of his childhood and teen memories are firmly planted here. He is a 1st generation American whose parents immigrated to Arizona from Mexico and is fluently bi-lingual in Spanish. Dr. Garcia aspired to be a dentist since he was a young boy, and has been living out his dream for over 33 years. He enjoys every aspect of dentistry and has pursued specialized training in implant dentistry, successfully performing hundreds of implant surgeries. In addition to receiving the best dental care, it is important to Dr Garcia that his patients feel heard and respected. Creating a cohesive team and giving every patient his complete attention when in his care is his style & level of work ethic.
Dr. Garcia and his wife Marisa have been married for 34 years, and currently live in Gilbert. They have 3 adult children and a 7-yr old granddaughter who is their joy. Active in their church, they serve in many ministries and host a weekly small group in their home. They enjoy traveling, hiking, bike riding and spending time with family. Dr. Garcia also volunteers in low-cost dental clinics and has gone overseas many times to perform free dentistry as a volunteer. This provides a sense of how community & relationships are important to him, and he brings this relational aspect into the office as well.
Dr. Garcia is excited for this new partnership with Mercado and looks forward to serving each of you in the best manner possible.
