What our patients say about Dr Cristina Rodriguez-Garcia

Myself and my daughter have both seen Dr. Cristina Rodriguez-Garcia and I have been very happy. Both times she pinpointed the problem (after others had struggled to correctly diagnose) and helped set out a treatment plan. I have also recommended friends and family. I have now found a dermatologist that I like and trust.

A very professional approach to patients and excellent customer service. I visited Dr. Cristina Rodriguez-Garcia and I was very pleased. The doctor examined me thoroughly and explained all my concerns. Thanks to the correct diagnosis, I was able to react quickly and successfully complete the treatment. I highly recommend this clinic.

Dr. Cristina is amazing to work with. We spent several weeks getting advice from different doctors on a rash our son had, but it wouldn’t improve. We consulted Dr. Cristina, who finally made the right diagnosis and prescribed the right medicine and in less than a week it was all gone. More importantly Dr. Crisitna also gave good practical advice on how to prevent future rashes happening again. Totally recommend.

What her colleagues say about her

I met Cristina when we were 19-years-old. I have witnessed how hard she has worked to excel in every aspect of her life. Being next to her during her medical training, gave me an idea of how hard doctors work and the countless sacrifices they make to look after others. Nowadays, I see the huge amount of work she does for her patients outside the clinic, how much she cares about them and the importance of continuous study and research. For that reason, I have the highest admiration and respect for doctors.

Cristina is not only an inspirational leader, she is also a very curious person, with an incredible memory able to connect the dots with the same mastery of a great detective.
