History and Mission
Dr. J Jay Garcia's mission was to serve the Tampa Bay community by addressing obesity and hormone imbalances. The end purpose was to resolve a multitude of chronic diseases that are otherwise treated through numerous pharmaceutical means or bariatric surgery. Continuing his mission to fix the root causes of patient symptomology, in 2002, Dr. Garcia was one of the first in Tampa Bay to offer medical weight loss and bioidentical hormone pellet therapy.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, or BHRT, is a term used to describe the balancing of hormones using compounds that are identical to what is produced naturally in the body.
Motto
One of Dr. Garcia’s mottos was “FEEL YOUR BEST, LOOK YOUR BEST, LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE.”
