Get to know Obstetrician-Gynecologist Dr. Alyson Garcia, who serves patients in Austin, Texas.

Whether a patient or a loved one requires routine OB/GYN care, high risk OB treatment, management of menopausal symptoms, or fertility evaluation, they can rest assured that they are in great care with Dr. Garcia, a highly accomplished obstetrician-gynecologist. She is a part of the team of professionals at Austin Area Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Fertility.

Austin Area Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Fertility is a top-rated obstetrics and gynecology practice serving patients in and around Austin, Texas. The multi-physician practice features advanced care options for women at all stages of life, including routine gynecological exams, obstetric care, colposcopy and Pap tests, bone density scans, in-office minimally invasive surgery, treatment for urinary incontinence, diagnostic services including ultrasound and 3D mammography, cord blood banking, fertility counseling and treatment, vaginal rejuvenation using the Mona Lisa Touch laser system, as well as skin care and mind-body medicine.

A native Austinite, Dr. Garcia completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Texas where she was part of the UT Rowing team. She then attended medical school at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas and was Chief Resident during her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Parkland Hospital.

Among the doctor’s most notable achievements, she is board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG). The ABOG is a non-profit organization that provides board certification for practicing obstetricians and gynecologists in the United States and Canada.

Thrilled to return home to Austin, Dr. Garcia plans to build her practice by providing excellent care while fostering a relationship with her patients that is based on trust. She feels that women’s healthcare is an area of medicine where she can have a unique relationship with her patients on their journey through life – from the teenage years where a young woman learns how to trust and interact with her doctor to the postmenopausal age when the mature woman has concerns that are specialized and requires someone who is sensitive to her needs. 

Obstetrics and Gynecology is the medical specialty that encompasses the two subspecialties of obstetrics and gynecology. An obstetrician-gynecologist, or OB-GYN, is a healthcare professional who specializes in female reproductive health. 

Happily married, Dr. Garcia and her husband have a son and daughter. She is fluent in both English and Spanish.
