Utopia Wellness | Cost and Reviews

I do not like to write reviews and very very rarely do. A place has to be exceptionally bad or exceptionally great for me to do so…I have to review Utopia. I interviewed with Dr. Garcia back in 2011 and was not in a position in my life where I wanted to hear what he had to say, or was able to spend the resources I did and did not have, and decided against using his clinic.Fast forward to 2020 and my numbers were climbing and my fear was rising right along with them. I tried several other places – including one in Clearwater – that just didn’t fit very well. I felt “alone” and abandoned. Sure, they said they would “give” me a treatment plan, but only after 1000s upon 1000s of dollars in testing. When I asked questions, I was brushed off or told that’s the way it is. Even after the testing, I was left to figure everything out on my own…not a good feeling when you feel a bit lost. I even had to tell them the proper way to do their own procedure and they finally implemented the correct way after the equipment manufacturer told them they were doing it wrong and I was telling them the correct way to do it. But did I get refunded for the bad treatments that cost 1000s – no… It was simply my problem.That’s when my wife got angry and said there has to be someplace better. She went surfing and came up with Utopia. The reviews were mixed but there seemed to be an underlying current to the negative reviews. It wasn’t that the program didn’t work … it all boiled down to not wanting to accept personal responsibility for their lives and wanting to blame someone else for negative outcomes. It’s hard to tell from a review what is an employee, or factual, or what is anger/fear. My wife and I had done enough research to understand that there is a VERY BIG emotional and mental component to cancer, which seemed to be the reason behind the negative reviews (a lack of wanting to face that component).We decided to give it a try. Incredible. But the price seemed exorbitant to us at first, but when we started factoring in what IVs cost at other places, as well as equipment (such as Rife, HBOT, FIR Sauna etc), it seemed that it was actually in line with others’ charges. Now you throw in the very excellent massage/lymph/herbalist, mental/emotional therapy, guidebook (especially for beginners), colon therapy, and open access to the doctor (as much as you need) and all of a sudden you start to realize that maybe you’ve been paying way too much for the other places. But what really, REALLY got me was that I was feeling better and more hopeful than ever before. I “watched” people “graduate” and saw that there really could be healing in the alternative environment – something I hadn’t seen before.I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Garcia and his staff. He may be gruff and seemingly a bit rough around the edges, but tell me how you would deal with a host of different personalities, in varying stages of DYING and the anger that comes with it and how you would treat them. With platitudes and niceties and all the other ways that got them to death’s door – or would you be blunt with them and treat them like they should be treated – as adults and not children. I appreciate the blunt truth even if it does “hurt” my feelings … for me, it’s about time someone was honest, and cared enough to put me on the path to healing… not sugar coat things while I lose precious time because they didn’t know how to deal with the mental/emotional aspect of our illnesses….That’s why I give my wholehearted approval of Utopia … and decided to write this very rare review!

Dr. Garcia is the go to doctor, especially that which Western Medicine doesn't have a cure for. He treats the cause of the problem. The vitamin recipe he gave me and my family for the flu a few years ago has served me so well, knocks out symptoms fast and me and my children were able to go back to work and school very quickly. It has also served us through the Cov-Id days, I was never scared. Just took that same recipe and if we had any symptoms these vitamins just knocked them out. Very grateful for the Utopia Wellness Center, this is what real healing is. Also, the office staff is amazing. Thank you!!

I healed my thyroid cancer in under 4 months with Dr. Garcia's assistance. Your presence at the center requires your 100% dedication and focus. If you follow what he says, I feel that you will be well in time. But you need to be ready to do the work! Call Dr. Garcia and have an intro call with him. See if he can help. It's worth it. I have an entire new lease on life. Thank you to the whole team and Dr. Garcia at Utopia Wellness. May you be well.

The office staff is so knowledgeable of all aspects of the business. The worker bee's were so considerate of all their clients. Just a wonderful place to get treatments. Joe & Lynn Barrett

Well, I’m sitting in a comfy chair getting IV therapy. Needed. Called a half hour ago, Mark picked up the phone said come on in, we’ll help. Just from the people there when I came in and feeling when I got here, I’m coming back to get the full panel and see if he can help me with a few other issues I’d mostly given up on. Am reading the reviews and just facepalming the couple of negative ones I’ve read. I’m in the industry (BHRT, etc) and the people writing them sound pretty ignorant if I’m being honest. If you want a bandaid, people, go see a cattle call md and they'll tell you what they were taught whenever they came out of Med school and you’ll go home with 6 scripts without addressing the underlying issues.I’ll write another review after I come back again but seriously, every patient in here is happy as can be. There are 3 to my left and 4 to my right. I’d take pics, but that’s probably not HIPAA compliant😜

I can not thank Dr Garcia and his amazing staff enough for how they have helped my father. The staff is very compassionate. They go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed, comfortable, and extremely supportive with keeping us on track. They help when tradition medical doctors don't. Back home, My dad's doctor diagnostic was "your getting older and you will have to just learn to deal with it." After being under the Utopia Wellness care, the problem is completely healed.

I accompanied my wife during the 9 weeks we spent at Utopia Wellness in 2015 and found that it was the best experience she needed to jumpstart her onto a serious path of physical, emotional and spiritual wellness. Dr Garcia was fully committed to assisting us on this journey by teaching us how to take wellness matters into our own hands, embrace our affliction and through food as medicine, work from within to overcome sickness. A debt of gratitude is owed to him.

We went to see Dr Garcia because my husband suffered terribly with neuropathy in his hands and feet and arthritis, related to military service. 17 years of chronic pain was taking its toll, and some days he could not walk at all. Dr Garcia’s approach was direct and refreshing to us! After 5 weeks of treatment with Dr Garcia, we are in awe! Dr Garcia is a brilliant Dr, who’s understanding of the body exceeded our expectations. My husbands pain is significantly reduced and is no longer chronic. The feeling in his hands and feet has been greatly restored and getting better daily, as nerves take time to heal. Dr Garcia’s staff are experts in their fields, and each visit added more understanding and wisdom, allowing my husband to take steps necessary towards healing! We recommend Utopia wellness to everyone we love and care for. Thank you Utopia Wellness for giving my husband his life back.

Dr. Garcia is the best at what he does. The staff is excellent. I am very lucky to have found Utopia Wellness and they have helped in many ways. THANK YOU

We have been extremely blessed and happy with our experience with the Utopia Welness clinic, with Dr. Garcia, and even with his team of professionals -- starting with Mark at the front desk to the amazing nurses and all support staff. They are all very professional, caring, treat their patients as real people -- not just a number, and give personalized care and treatment to meet each patient's need. For those looking for a more healthy alternative treatment plan, we highly recommend Utopia. We, as well as friends, have found their treatments to be very effective. When we first met Dr. Garcia, my mom had 4 tumors in her lungs, now three of those tumors are gone. The natural way really works!

Disclaimer: I did not receive any treatment at this facility and was only there for a one hour free consultation. Run away from Utopia Wellness. Let me just say I am very interested in holistic therapies to help heal my cancer and have a background in holistic nutrition as well. When I heard of Utopia Wellness myself and my family were very excited. I watched the testimonials and researched the facility. I then booked a consultation through Mark at the front desk. I also read the many negative reviews that centered on Dr.Garcia's character and on his malpractice that some former clients claim. We went anyways to form our own opinions. I am a skeptic at heart and would not be writing this review if I didn't truly believe that this place is bad news.Almost 2 minutes into the consultation I was completely unimpressed by Dr.Garcia's "direct" and "tough love" approach. He recited his protocols as if he had for the 100th time, which I'm sure he has, but when you travel a distance to get information on a potentially lifesaving treatment it would be nice to be looked in the eye while listening to someone talk about it. When I asked questions he shrugged at me. I had to lead the conversation when I felt like if I'm about to spend $35,000+ you could maybe take some interest in my and my family. He basically read word for word from his website. In the end he blamed my teeth & an issue with a female to why I have breast cancer on the left side.Dr. Garcia is very rude, defensive, and unimpressive. He does not create an air of healing which is what I would expect. He took no time to share any part of the facility at all with us and just dumped us into Mark the receptionist's lap. Mark is amazing by the way. Thank you to Mark for showing true care and concern. While I believe the therapies Dr.Garcia is offering will help someone with cancer, it would be much better received if you welcomed your potential new patients. Also once you step into the office area from the waiting room it has a pretty terrible smell. Yikes.

Dr. Garcia and his team are exceptional professionals. After the consultation, I felt confident and it has been a positive experience because their team care and pay attention to details. My overall health has improved as well. Thank you for the path to healing and recovery! I recommend Utopia Wellness for professional care and results.

I have been a patient with Utopia since 2009. I came to Utopia after enduring months of chemotherapy and endless rounds of radiation Dr. Garcia is straight forward and honest with his approach an d his diagnosis. I realize that for some people he may come across as harsh but that could not be further from the truth. Dr. Garcia is caring and wants to save every person that comes for treatment. I would much rather my doctor tell it to me in no uncertain terms rather than being vague. Dr. Garcia has a protocol that he expects his patients to follow and if you are wiling to put in the effort, he will be there with you every step of the way. I have called Dr. Garcia over the years for other health concerns and he has always taken my calls and guided me through what was needed to help. The first meeting with Dr. Garcia is one that will shed light on many other issues in your life that have caused you to be in the health situation you are in. So if you are willing to hear what is being said to you, rather than get defensive, you will be able to move towards your recovery that much faster. It is hard for people to hear that you are the cause of your own illness but once you take the time to look back, you soon realize that Dr. Garcia is absolutely correct and his diagnoses and treatment will be exactly what is needed. The most important thing that Dr. Garcia has always said, and something that I live by, is, if your gut tells you it is wrong, or right, follow it. Your body knows what you need. This has held true for me in so many situations. I knew upon my arrival at Utopia that this is where I wanted, and needed to be, if I wanted to live. Cancer is a scary word but after being at Utopia and endless meetings with Dr. Garcia, I am no longer afraid of the "C" word. You need to be strong to get well and as long as you are willing to accept your role, follow the protocol, you will be a healthier person for it. I recommended a friend to Dr. Garcia after he spent years receiving chemotherapy to only have his doctor tell him to go home and put his affairs in order. They gave him a few weeks. My friend came to Utopia, followed the protocol and never missed a treatment and Dr. Garcia was able to extend his life for a few more years. Dr. Garcia is caring and direct and his staff is wonderful. Leave your need to be coddled at home and take charge of your own health. That is what is expected at Utopia, you are an active participant. If you are willing to put in the effort, you will rejoice in the rewards. The mind is a powerful tool and Dr. Garcia will explain to you how important it is for you to believe in anything that you do, especially take charge of your health.

I arrived at Utopia Wellness for my first meeting w/ Doc last fall. My diagnosis was throat cancer w/ Squamous cells. My neck was swollen on one side and I was very tired, anxious but not afraid. After fiercely rejecting the first doctors suggestion of surgery,chemo, and radiation... I knew I had to embrace this experience with my whole heart and mind to heal my body,so not being afraid of the future was my focus... Doctor Garcia is extremely intuitive and to the point . The staff there is the most intelligent, kind , loving and joyful group of people! How they do their job every day astounds me. They address your mind, body , spirit all the time . Each one has so much to teach you about self healing... that is what this is ... a place to get the tools ( even a handbook) and hone your skills to heal and relax your body ... to become alkaline ... emotionally and physically... to clean out closets of painful things in the past that have not been resolved. Learning to be reasonable with yourself and choices you have made.I would encourage anyone seeking help to call the clinic , speak w Doctor Garcia and begin your healing journey.... I am healthier now than I have ever been ... I now love my life and myself and now have the skills and tools I need to stay healthy and happy and strong! Katheryn
