My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

As a prior physician for the Air Force Special Operations Command, I’ve been providing personalized care to my patients my entire career. I feel privileged and honored to have been able to dedicate the extra time and personalized attention that our servicemen and women deserve outside of a traditional clinic. By partnering with MDVIP, I am able to continue providing individualized and attentive care to help improve your health and life. This flexibility allows me to have a much more hands on approach and to incorporate osteopathic manipulative treatments to complement our treatment plans. 

I embrace the philosophy of considering my patients as a whole - to treat not just the body, but the mind and spirit as well. The best way I have found to do this is by taking the time to listen to my patients and ensure they fully understand and are comfortable with a treatment plan that suits them. As your personal physician, I am your advocate and pledge to provide you with patient-centered, evidence-based medicine that works for you. I also offer conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments that start on time, which may be found in concierge medicine practices. I am a strong believer in staying active and identifying and solving whatever barriers may be holding you back to allow you to not just live a healthy life, but to thrive. I was awarded the most compassionate resident physician award because I treat each patient like they’re a member of my family and will always strive to do what’s best for you.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Garcia

from Matthew in FL October 28, 2020 for Nicholas J. Garcia DO, FAAFP

Dr Garcia was the MDVIP doctor for my wife and I. He has been kind and considerate. Although he is younger than us he was very caring and considerate to our health needs. My wife passed in April but she really liked Dr Garcia and thought highly of him. He has been considerate and understanding to my needs during my grief. Thanks doc!

from Karen in FL April 1, 2020 for Nicholas J. Garcia DO, FAAFP

We started with MDVIP when our family physician began his MDVIP career. He was a beloved and excellent doctor. When he retired it was hard, but he assured us that we would be in very good hands with our new doctor. Dr Garcia moved into position as our new MDVIP doctor, and we can say with confidence that we are in good hands. We can trust him to care about not only our physical well being… See more

from Philip in FL March 10, 2020 for Nicholas J. Garcia DO, FAAFP

Dr. Garcia treats my wife and I like we are very special members of his family. He takes all the time necessary to make sure we get the complete understanding of our medical needs. We both feel very comfortable with him as our primary physician.

from MATTHEW in FL February 29, 2020 for Nicholas J. Garcia DO, FAAFP

SINCE I HAVE BEEN IN THE MDVIP PROGRAM WITH DR. VILLOTTI I FEEL HEALTHIER AND MY VITALS ARE GETTING BETTER. I ALSO FEEL THAT HIS ADVICE TO LEADING A HEALTHIER LIFE STYLE HAS BEEN INVALUABLE. DR VILLOITTI IS NOW RETIRED AND HAS BEEN REPLACED BY DR GARCIA. I HAVE ONLY VISITED HIM ONE TIME FOR A CHECK UP AND HE HAS MADE A VERY GOOD IMPRESSION.

from Theresa February 14, 2020 for Nicholas J. Garcia DO, FAAFP

I started with Dr. Villotti when I movedd to Florida in Jan 2004. I had a wonderful relationship with him and hope to have the same with Dr. Garcia who took over his practice when Dr. Villotti retired. At my first visit with Dr. Garcia he recommended reducing the dose of my thyroid medicine because of the way I was feeling. I fought him on this, but followed his strong advice and began to… See more
