After practicing in Reno, NV, for six years, she moved to Texas in 2021 and began serving nursing home residents in Houston as a traveling optometrist. She has a special interest in pediatric optometry and enjoys working with patients of all ages. A Spanish speaker, Dr. Garcia-Balok loves connecting with her Spanish-speaking patients. She and her family now reside in Tyler, TX, where they enjoy outdoor activities and football.
