He suggested I first get an MRI, so glad he did as I had a a significant rotator cuff tear, steroids would have masked the pain and made things worse. I received corrective surgery and 3 weeks out am already experiencing less pain vs pre-surgery. He provided great step-by-step detail on the procedure and what to expect wrt pain and recovery, and has been very present post-operation. He also has a great staff who are very responsive and supportive. I really appreciated his ability to clearly explain all options of treatment including pros and cons, which allowed me to make the best decision for me without pressure.

I had a massive heart attack in 2004 at the age of 42. I was airlifted to BIDMC and luckily for me Dr Garcia was the cardiologist on call that day. He stented my artery and saved my life. In 2008 I had a by-pass still having Dr.Garcia as my cardiologist. Since 2008 I had no symptoms and felt great until about a month ago. I was working out and felt some jaw pain as I did many years ago just before my heart attack. Since I live in Charlestown and I am surrounded by Mass general I went to their walk in clinic to get it checked out. They immediately did an EKG and saw something that was cause for alarm. I was admitted that day and they continued testing. They did an echo cardiogram as well as monitoring me and finally 3 days later I went to the catherization lab. They did a catherization and did not place any stents. However, I did not get to see a doctor until the next day. He spent a total of 4 minutes with me and said I had an unusual case and he needed to get with his team to see what the best option was.I was also told I had 3 blockages in my arteries and he wasn't sure if they could be stented or not. He told me I had 3 options.1.) treat with meds for 3 months to see what happens 2.) look at the p[possibility of stenting but would be very difficult and not sure if it could be done. 3.) opt for by-pass surgery. I was released but really had no plan but an appointment set up for 30 days later. I then emailed Dr. Garcia at St Elizabeth's Medical Center. He responded right away and asked me to get the images from Mass General as well as the images from BIDMC from 2008 and 2004. I got all the images on a Thursday and then called Dr. Garcia on his cell phone Thursday afternoon. He told me to come in the next morning with the images. I arrived and waited approx. 15 minutes and Dr. Garcia came out. He then went to look at the images. He returned about 30 minutes later and knew exactly what I needed. he set up a stress test the next week and said he would follow up right away. Again, he did exactly what he said he would do. I spoke with him on the phone and he said he could stent the 2 blockages right away and then set up a time in the cath lab to take care of the 3rd blockage. Fast forward to today and I am home after having 2 of the 3 arteries fixed. I will get the 3rd one done next month. I cant say enough about him or his team. His NP Nancy Nicholson was also amazing. She was there from the beginning and was so supportive and helpful as well as everyone I came into contact with. Dr. Garcia is amazing and he is all business and right to the point. I can tell he lives and breathes cardiology and he had no hesitation knowing exactly what he needed to do. For anyone who has heart or artery disease, I would not recommend anyone but Dr. Lawrence Garcia. He is my life saver and cant express enough how comforting, secure and lucky I feel having him as my cardiologist.

Dr. Andrea Resciniti performed elective gallbladder surgery on me in the summer of 2017, about a…read moremonth or two after my husband had died after being hit by a car. I met her in the ER of Emerson where she was just standing there after I suffered a terrible gallbladder attack. Resciniti wanted to do the surgery that night but said she didn't think I could consent because my husband had just died and I agreed. I later stupidly agreed to elective surgery. Resciniti told me I would be fine without my gallbladder and basically did not need it. I stupidly did no research and just believed her. Within two days of surgery, I had to take ambulance back to Emerson after throwing up with terribly explosive diarrhea. The nurse there said with a sick look on her face "It is called Dumping Syndrome." Dumping syndrome can occur after gallbladder removal due to changes in bile flow, leading to rapid digestion and gastrointestinal symptoms. But Resciniti just stood there and said nothing. I developed terrible chronic diarrhea and became very afraid to leave my house or be anywhere for very long because of this uncontrollable sudden diarrhea, which I never suffered before surgery. I came to find out that Sudden Diarrhea is very common after gallbladder removal and has destroyed many people's lives like my life. I developed terrible gas and diarrhea and acid reflux and many eating and digestive problems. I also became very angry and mixed up because I had no idea what the surgery would do to me and was totally devastated by it. This surgery was the biggest mistake of my life. Resciniti never verbally told me that Ursodiol could dissolve the gallstones so that I may be able to keep my gallbladder. She also never alerted me to the terrible health challenges I would face without a gallbladder. Instead, Resciniti verbally told me I would be just fine. But instead it was the worst mistake I ever made in my life and has caused me absolute misery and devastation. I have since come to find out that about 50 percent of people have terrible regret from having their gallbladders removed and consider it the worst mistake of their life. I wish I had at least been verbally told of all the terrible consequences that come from having no gallbladder instead of just verbally told basically I would be just fine and could eat whatever I wanted. I now have horrible complications that were never mentioned by her when she treated me before the surgery. If I had ever known what my life would become without a gallbladder, which she never verbally told me, I would have never let her remove it. I hope she is happy that her surgery, which she said would heal me, destroyed my life. She has continued making her gingerbread houses while I stayed in my house and became a terrible recluse and very severely depressed. I now suffer from diverticulosis and terrible bowel problems. I can't believe Resciniti told me I would be just fine and that I brainlessly believed her and just took her word for it. My life has been and health have been basically destroyed. Thanks so much, Andrea. You turned my life into a total train wreck. Maybe you should actually tell people what happens when you take out their gallbladder instead of saying that they will be just fine because I am certainly not unless you consider horrible illness of the gut and the bowels and reflux and everything under the sun being JUST FINE. Thanks so much.
