Dr. Nicholas R. Garcia was raised in East Lansing, Michigan. He went on to attend Loyola University Chicago graduating cum laude with a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology.

He employs a patient-centered and evidence-based philosophy, taking great care to educate as well as treat those in need.

What patients are saying

“I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Nick Garcia. Post surgery, I’m back on my feet sooner than I expected. I trusted him with a newer type of procedure and he delivered the results. Any questions I had outside of an office visit, he was super fast to call and answer any concerns. I couldn’t be happier with Elevate Foot & Ankle and the care Dr. Garcia provided! ”

“Dr. Garcia and the staff at Elevate Foot & Ankle are terrific. As an active runner, I've had an issue with my right foot and ankle for years. During my first visit, Dr. Garcia was able to diagnose me with a saddle bone deformity and bursitis. He explained the issue and provided guidance on what I could do to help treat it. It’s been 6 months since my last visit and my foot hasn’t given me a problem since. Thank you Dr. Garcia!”
