Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! As we wrap up 2020 and look ahead to 2021, we have some holiday fun using the 12 days of Christmas theme with Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Grant H. Garcia. The show is a combination of important information for patients and a way to get to know Dr. Garcia. We discuss topics such as getting a second opinion, essential rehabbing after post-op, what a patient should always ask their doctor, and how to prepare for those conversations. Dr. Garcia reminisces about memorable moments with clients and what he's most proud of. Dr. Garcia may be a great doctor, but interestingly his skill as a meticulous travel planner is also undeniable. We have some fun and informative conversations this week on our holiday edition of NYSEA.
