I was very happy with blepharoplasty surgery and care by Dr Garcia and her staff at Desert Eyesthetics.

My wife was referred to Dr. Garcia by her Dermatologist for a surgery on her eyelid. From the moment we called to schedule an appointment we had an exceptional experience! The front office staff were very kind and supportive. They answered our questions and were legitimately happy to help us. Dr. Garcia did an AMAZING job with the actual procedure and exceeded our expectations! There was almost no discomfort during the procedure or afterwards and within days there was zero sign of a surgical procedure even occurring. No Scar!! THANK YOU to the entire team! read more

Everything went perfectly, I was recommended to visit here for a bump on my lower lash line. There is handicap parking directly in front of the business for those with mobility issues and after walking inside the desk is also right there. Everyone was super nice. I didn't have to wait more than a minute or two before being called back to be seen. Dr Garcia was very nice and knowledgeable and she got right to taking care of my issue. Overall a great experience and I would recommend to others. read more

Had a flawless appointment with Dr. Garcia! Her staff got me in at my exact appointment time and were all very sweet. I asked for a syringe of lip filler to get some extra volume in my upper lip. These qtips with local numbing cream made the numbing injections nearly painless and then the lip filler injections were pain free! Dr. Garcia took before and after photos, gave me suggestions for a natural appearing pattern to appear balanced, and explained exactly what she was going to do. I will definitely be going back every 9-12 months to keep up with regular filler as she recommended to keep some nice natural volume! Attached are my before photo at original consultation, after 1 syringe of filler, and while numbing! read more

See all

I had surgery two weeks ago to correct dropping eyelids. Dr Garcia did an amazing job and my healing was pretty straight forward. What is so amazing, is I cant remember having 'defined eyelids' and now I do! Again, thanks to Rose, Ann and of course the rest of her wonderful staff! read more

I had an incredibly disappointing experience with this eye doctor. My physician referred me because they were concerned about a spot on my eye that has been causing me significant pain and discomfort--to the point where I often can't even keep my eye open. When the doctor came in, they immediately dismissed my concerns, saying it was just a cosmetic issue, without taking the time to properly examine my eye. Despite me explaining the pain I've been experiencing, and the increasing irritation over the last three years they told me it shouldn't hurt and refused to prescribe anything or recommend any treatment. To make matters worse, the doctor said I should come back when my eye is inflamed, but they have a three-month waiting list for appointments, making that impossible. I can't just show up when the problem occurs, and the doctor refused to provide any interim solutions or treatment recommendations. I felt completely dismissed and unheard. If you're looking for a doctor who will take your concerns seriously and provide real care, I would not recommend this office. read more

I had eye surgery and not only was the staff phenomenal, but Dr. Garcia was exceptional. Great follow up and I felt comfortable asking questions. I knew I would be taken care of if there were any issues. I highly recommend Desert Eyesthetics! read more

Dr Garcia is good, but always late and rushed. The wait is long the appointment is short and scripted. She is templated by what insurance "usually" does. She will not go out of her way for anything you need that is different than others. If your TED symptoms are not exactly like all the others there is no ambition to go outside the box and help you. No personality. You are the number your eyes measure you at. Demand better and go somewhere else. read more

Dr. Garcia and her team are outstanding! I have been a patient at this practice for several years and have always received professional, knowledgeable, and friendly service from the Doctor and her wonderful staff. Dr. Garcia is extremely experienced and educated in her specialty as an Ophthalmologist. After resolving my eye issue, I used their services for a Halo resurfacing and then several months later a MOXI skin treatment. My experience and results were phenomenal. I highly recommend this exceptional Doctor and her qualified team of professionals! read more

This office came recommended by Dr Akers office and I am so glad I followed that recommendation! The office space was modern, clean, and comfortable. The office staff is helpful and kind. They answer questions happily over the phone and promptly return calls! Rose, the technician/assistant was very personable and helpful! Dr Garcia was prompt in seeing me and took extra time to explain what was happening with my eye. Dr Garcia wasn't prescription prescribing happy and I was thrilled when she recommended 2 over-the-counter solutions that are working wonders! Would recommend this office to anyone! read more

After the receptionist put me on hold for 10 minutes, came back and advised there are no appointment openings until January of 2023! I will look somewhere else for an office that can actually assist with an eye medical issue. read more

Came here for my first Halo treatment about 6 months ago. Denise was the doctor who did my laser procedure and she is absolutely amazing. She wanted to ensure I was satisfied with the treatment and results. We kept in contact almost everyday post treatment for a couple weeks to make sure my skin was healing properly. I couldn't have been more happy with the results from this procedure. It shrunk my pore size significantly and helped with acne scarring and overall skin texture. Not to mention my collagen improved over time. I am so grateful that I can finally feel confident without makeup. I can't wait for my next treatment! read more

I had upper and lover eyelid surgery by Dr. Denise Garcia, who was recommended by my optometrist. My surgery was rushed by the entire team at Southwestern Eye Center. My appointment was the last one on a Friday evening of a 3-day holiday weeked. Everyone was eager to get out of there and I felt like they were rushing me and that I was not their main concern. Upon discharge from the Center, I was given the telephone number to call in event of questions over the long weekend. There were serious complications from the surgery which showed up the next day. I attempted three times during the wekend to reach a doctor for advice. After my first call to the answering service, a doctor called and told me to wait and call Dr. Garcia at her office on Tuesday. After my second call to the answering service, a doctor from the wrong eyeclinic called me. On my third call, the answering service said they had the correct information and I would just need to wait for the doctor to call me. They never did call. When I had my first post surgery appointment with Dr. Garcia, she informed me that I had a hematoma in my right lower eyelid, that this was common and would heal in about three weeks. I informed her about my failure to get any help from the answering service and she said all I needed to do was call her number, leave a message and she would get back to me. In the next few weeks, prior to my next appointment, I had multiple concerns regarding swelling, bleeding, infection, vision changes (loss) and hullacinations. Dr Garcia nor her staff returned any of my calls. I was very fearful of a Retro orbital hemorrhage (by reading about my symptoms online), which can cause blindness within 90 minutes. During all of my post surgery appointments with Dr. Garcia, she rushed me through with her very fast talk, assuring me that all was going well, and dismissing my concerns and questions. After 5 months since surgery, I still have bruising (she called it discoloration) under my eyes . I will not be seeing her again or referring her to anyone. She DID NOT take good care of me. read more

Dr. Garcia fixed a drooping eyelid (ptosis) on my left eye with a short and painless in-office procedure in about 35 min. She and her assistant were very skilled and organized. The recovery time with little bruising was minimal (about a week) and the pain very manageable. The front-office staff was helpful and took good care of me and I really like the outcome. I highly recommend Dr. Garcia. read more

Went here for a stubborn stye and Dr Garcia took care of it in no time! Everyone was super helpful and nice

Was a very nice organized place. I went in for a stye that I had for a while and Dr. Denise Garcia was very nice and did very well on my eye. Will always go here first! Thanks Again Dr. Garcia! read more

The doctor is very nice. I chose her because of her credentials, but she botched my Botox which led to a drooping eyelid. She was unable to see me because her receptionist said she was fully booked and she was leaving for vacation the next day. I was offered a cancellation spot but I had another appointment I couldn't miss. I will not be going back read more

Had to book an appointment with an ophthalmologist due to a nasty stye in my eyelid that wouldn't go away. Just did a random Google search and luckily Dr Garcia was right around the corner from me. She was very knowledgeable and friendly and put me on a prescription to see if it would help. Came back a month later, it did improve however we already knew she would drain it if it didn't significantly improve. Hopefully I don't have any more eye stye issues but if I do I would no doubt go back and see Dr Garcia and her ever so helpful staff read more

As an Insulin Diabetic, I have dealt with multiple issues and surgeries in my left eye over the last 6 years. After eventually loosing my sight in that eye, I proceeded to have an evisceration performed by Dr. Garcia. The entire staff at Desert Eyesthetics has proven to be professional, caring, friendly and just plain FANTASTIC. Dr. Garcia did an excellent job with my surgery and followup. She has wonderful bed-side manner and explains everything she is going to be doing... as well as what to expect during your recovery time. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness. Take care of your eyes, but if you need her expertise, I highly recommend Dr. Denise Garcia. read more

I was referred to Desert Eyesthetics by my general eye center. They called to set up the appointment for me. Initially I was told at the time of the first call that they didn't take my version of Medicare. But the appointment was scheduled and I received a call from DE, saying that they took my version of Medicare. They asked for both my Medicare card and my Humana PPO, which I have used at the Mayo Clinic, for a specialist who is a Dermatologist. I have a very serious skin disease which is similar to having a severe sunburn, that does not heal, so my chronic pain is 24/7. Anyway they took my info and indicated that all was good, including asking for an email confirming that I would be there for the appointment, in which I replied affirmatively. My eyes have severe pain, which is why I went to my optometrist. He was very concerned and suggested that I need surgery on my lower eyelids, which is why he referred me to DE. Anyway back to my appointment, after all of the calls and completion of paperwork, I show up early for my appointment. I was very excited at the prospect of possible relief for my eye pain with a consult to confirm my needs. My appointment was at 3 PM, which I did not complain because it was a very quick scheduling. But for someone with my skin condition it is painful to go outside in those conditions, meaning Phoenix, it was 112 degrees. But I was really wanting the specialized help so I went. What was most upsetting was to find out that they had put the fault with the other office. And I just sat there waiting for my appointment, thinking everything was set. Only to find out that they could not take my "version" of Medicare and when I asked if they could call to set up the new appointment, in Scottsdale, they refused as far as I'm concerned. After that the doctor didn't have the professional courtesy to tell me herself, a staff member basically said too bad. I suppose she was the office manager. And her staff had no empathy at all. For me, it's was worse to have half hearted apologies but no one really cared. I was an executive for a very large company, a fortune 5 company, at one time I was the Director of all channels of our business for the state of New Mexico. I have a very broad idea of customer care and service, including proper care of a situation where the customer has no fault in th Very upsetting and disappointing. Ok I am back, I have rescinded by 1 star and given the clinic, run by Dr Garcia and staff a 5 star. Why such a drastic change you may ask? Anyone can make a mistake in business or life, but it's how you take care of things. I received a call the very next morning from Dr. Garcia, unfortunately I was not able to take the call, but she left a very professional message and asked for me to call her back. I did, left her a message, I know she has a practice to run, but we connected the same day. I went through my perspective and listened to hers, which I do understand how difficult different insurance types can be to deal with, in my case Medicare but with complications that I was not aware of. However simply the biggest reason for changing my review is very simple; Dr. Garcia apologized for my inconvenience. When I was in the customer service world with a world class corporation, one of the most important aspects I would teach employees, from management to front line was to apologize to the customer. It doesn't matter who is right, the customer is, even if their wrong. It almost always quickly diffused a situation without it getting out of hand, a sincere apology. Dr. Garcia clearly understands this simple but somehow so often forgotten aspect of taking care of your customers. She has even set up my appointment for tomorrow morning. Part of my experience says to wait until after we complete the consult and possible surgery, but I have a good feeling about her. Will Sivilli read more

Had an incredible facial with Susanna today. She is so gentle and thoughtful. She lets you know about each step and makes sure you are comfortable. read more

Dr. Garcia and the staff at Desert Eyesthetics are all so wonderful. I always trust Dr. Garcia to do my Botox and will never go anywhere else! She is thorough but always executes with restraint so I am never left looking expressionless. The Aesthetician, Susanna, is a miracleworker. She provided me with the best facial of my life that left my skin feeling revitalized and fresh. It was so good that I went back a few weeks later for a chemical peel with her and my skin has never looked better. After battling years of medications, peels, laser treatments and creams from the dermatologist, my face looks better than it ever has under the care of the team at Desert Eyesthetics! read more

I was extremely satisfied with my visit to Desert Eyesthetics! I had a little issue with my eye and needed help ASAP. Unbelievably, they got me in the next day and took care of my problem. The staff was extremely nice and hospitable and Dr Garcia was great! She took time to diagnose my problem and spent ample time answering my questions. You just don't find this excellent service in the medical field these days and it was a pleasant suprise. I would not hesitate to send my friends or family to go see Dr Garcia! read more

I had the opportunity to have a Halo laser and BBL treatment completed by Dr. Garcia. What an amazing result and experience. Each member of Dr. Garcia's staff is knowledgeable, kind and thoughtful. They take the time to help you understand exactly what to expect. The procedure was completed, I was comfortable and absolutely love the results. I highly recommend Dr. Garcia!! read more

Gave a star because there was nothing less than. It would be nice to answer then phone and ask me to hold rather than sending me officer manager voice mail. I know they were there because answered and hung up on me. read more
