JORGE GARCIA

Fort Lauderdale,FL

Summary

My practice spans across New York, Florida, Texas and California where I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults. Coming from a Hispanic background, with Colombian descent, I possess a deep understanding of the needs of underserved populations in America. My focus has been on assisting individuals with mental illnesses such as ADHD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, schizophrenia, and personality disorders. This has broadened my perspective and allowed me to extend my help not only to the Latin community but also to other cultures. With over 13 years of combined experience in the medical and psychiatric fields, I have acquired a vast range of knowledge and expertise.A significant aspect of my work involves providing care to underserved populations, including the homeless and low-income African American communities, as well as my cherished Hispanic population. I am deeply committed to improving health outcomes and addressing the needs of these vulnerable groups.I have worked traveling in various healthcare facilities across the United States, particularly in Florida, California, New York and Texas. My experience includes stints at West Regional Hospital, Kendall Regional Hospital, Mercy Hospital, and the University of Miami. I have also been associated with California locations, such as Los Angeles Community Hospital in Culver City and several hospitals in San Francisco, including USC facilities and Dignity Health.
