Our Staff

Brenda DiMaro

Patient Coordinator

"Every day is different. I enjoy the variety. It's not like you have some health problems that you need to have fixed. It is a place where you can improve what you already have and feel better about yourself. It is busy days and they seem to melt away. The office is just six blocks from my house, and is really a lovely environment to be in all day. I feel like a mom to all the girls that work here. I also think the Garcias are amazing physicians and also have such great families."


Cynthia Lankry

Billing Coordinator

"I have always loved working for Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery since the first day I came to work in the Ponte Vedra Beach office with Dr. Garcia. My job has always involved various duties in all aspects of the practice which have always challenged me. I have learned many skills during the years and keep learning. This makes me feel good about myself. Dr. Garcia has always believed in me and encourages me to expand my knowledge and learn new skills. I have been fortunate to have been able to perform aesthetician services. I enjoyed performing lymphatic facials and teaching patients how to apply makeup after their surgical procedures. The look on the patient's face after I apply makeup on them and they see themselves looking fantastic actually brings joy to my heart. When I see the patients come in feeling insecure or bad about themselves and then after their surgical procedure(s) seeing the positive effect the surgery had on them, I am very fortunate to get to see them transform into radiant women and confident men. It makes me proud that I work for such skilled surgeons. They are not only talented surgeons, they are caring physicians and that makes all the difference in the world. I get personal satisfaction when I get the insurance companies to pay us. They put up roadblocks all the time, never wanting to pay us for our services, but I persevere and when the money comes in, I feel great. It feels like a victory. This make me feel great. Working with the insurance companies is tedious but I love the challenge. My job is never boring. I have worked here since almost the beginning and have seen the practice grow, from Ponte Vedra Beach to Neptune Beach. We now have a state of the art facility with a surgical suite that is JCAHO certified. The Garcia's are always thinking ahead (and out of the box). I am very proud that I work here. At the end of the day I can truthfully say that every day here is rewarding."


Vanessa Milligan

Patient Coordinator

"Being a member of the Garcia staff has been especially enjoyable and rewarding for me. I was first introduced to Drs. Phillip and Roberto Garcia as a patient and loved them both immediately. Their skill and bedside manner is exceptional. When the prospect presented itself to work with them, I was thrilled. The high level of care and dedication provided by other doctors and staff make me proud to represent the Garcia Institute and their Patient Coordinator."


Dianne Ledbetter

Patient Coordinator

"I have worked in the plastic surgery profession for over 18 years and have recently joined the Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery Institute in May of this year. I feel very fortunate to work for a practice with highly skilled physicians who are truly gifted in their field. Our patient's lives are forever touched by the kindness, compassion, professionalism of the staff o f the Garcia Institute."


Carla Cooper

Clinical Staff

"Working for Garcia Facial Surgery has given me the opportunity to do what I love most. I have always enjoyed helping others, and it is very important to me that I always do the best job possible. It is such an amazing feeling knowing that I have personally helped in boosting a patient's self esteem and improving their quality of life. I definitely have a fulfilling and rewarding job."


Suzanne Rhoden (Hornsby)

Marketing

"As the marketing and advertising liason for the Garcia Institute I have the opportunity to work with both Drs. Garcia closely. They are both very courteous and professional with all of their staff and it is truly wonderful to see the incredible transformations that they do for people. I don't work here strictly for the money, I truly enjoy coming into the Institute because when I'm here, I know that I'm with family."


Meghan Holt

Front Office

"Reviva Medical Spa is one of the most relaxing, tranquil spa environments of Neptune Beach. Not only do we have an outstanding and well dedicated clientele, the staff of the Garcia Institute is also phenomenal. Being owned and operated by the Garcia brothers, I can personally say the Garcia Institute is the best family owned and operated establishment around. When you come in, regardless of whether you're part of the staff or a patient, you're welcomed as part of the Garcia family and that's a one of a kind treatment!"


April Kozieracki

Aesthetician

"In both the spa and medical industries it can sometimes be difficult to find a place that offers not only a standard of excellence in service to clients and patients but also pleasurable working conditions for employees. I have found both of these at Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery and Reviva Medical Spa. The enthusiasm and zeal that both Dr.'s Garcia have for their work is contagious. My decision to join the Garcia staff was based on their dedication to not only their patients and staff but also their outreach through their own non-profit organization called The FACE Foundation, which reaches out to children with facial deformities who would not otherwise be able to afford treatment."


Amy Morace

Spa Manager

"During my experience in the spa industry I have had the opportunity to work for different types of spas as well as for different companies. I choose to work at Reviva Medical Spa with the Garcia's because of the quality of customer service they strive to provide. Reviva is an inviting atmosphere with 5 star customer service which provides a wide range of spa treatments. The skill, loyalty, and passion that we provide at Reviva Medical Spa is what makes our spa different from those around us. When you arrive you will see why our staff loves what they do."


Rebecca Boston, R.N.

"It is most rewarding to work for Dr. Garcia. Seeing the changes that we are able to make in our patients' lives and to be able to share the compassion Drs. Garcia share with their patients make my experience most pleasurable."


Karen Hidalgo



"The favorable and respected image our clients have about this establishment is a direct result of the efforts and passion our employees put into their jobs. As a whole, I don't think you could find a better overall company to work for. No matter where you work within our company you're part of something pretty special and that in itself is a great motivator."


Jennifer Solano, R.N.

"I am blessed to come to work surrounded by such a talented, professional, and fun staff. I am confident in knowing that every patient we see is truly in the best of hands."


Jessica Giddens, C.S.T.
