After a long search to find a new primary care physician in Santa Maria (they're scarce), I am so…read morepleased to have been accepted as a patient by Dr. Peter Scott! I liked Dr. Scott immediately! He is young, seems health conscious, and he listened when I spoke! He seemed genuinely interested in working with me on my concerns, as I try to lose weight and improve my health. He authorized the blood tests I asked for, and the results have helped me to see where I'm making progress and where my lifestyle still needs work. He also referred me to a specialist I needed to see in order to follow up on a serious health issue. I made my appointment with Dr. Scott mainly because I had heard so many good things about the facility he joined-- Family Care of Santa Maria. Most of their doctors are too busy to see new patients, but they are some of the most popular and highly rated physicians in Santa Maria. I feel lucky to be able to see one of their doctors! The office is conveniently located across from Trader Joe's, and the parking is convenient. I'm as impressed with the staff at the facility as I am with Dr. Scott. Everyone I've dealt with there (receptionists and the medical assistants) has been friendly and a genuine pleasure to deal with. I get the feeling they are treated well, and it shows. I actually enjoy going there. The waiting area is clean and pleasant. Sometimes it takes a few tries to get through on the phone, but that's a minor concern-- I've always been able to get an appointment, or get my question answered, etc. If you are looking for a new physician, I highly recommend Dr. Scott, as well as Family Care of Santa Maria!

He never looked in our ears, nose or throat nor did palpitate the glands in our throat. Not worth the surcharge or the aggravation.

I've had moments of feeling as though I'm bugging them too much, but that's a self-imposed feeling. The reality is they are always there for me and I know I can depend on them. Having had my previous doctor for 12 years, I was apprehensive when I first started with Dr. Krause. I soon realized I didn't need to be. He is extremely knowledgeable and always seems to understand what I'm feeling. He is never judgmental, which is extremely important to me and my peace of mind. Thank you, Dr. Krause, Chelsea, Cindy and Esmeralda. I'm so glad you're all on My Team.

You can't return a patient's phone call over the course of 3 days. I'm not surprised though. What could she possibly say? Yes my staff is rude, they will hang up on you, lie to you, not deliver your messages to your doctor? She knows that I am righteous on everything I have put on yelp so far. The filthy, uncouth behavior is reprehensible and immature. I hope you are fired soon, Lori and Lulu. You are trash.

Luckily everything was normal and as he predicted, he grew out of it. This was around 2018-2019.

This made no sense to me, knowing Dr. John as I did, so I was curious and read them. They all have to do with different physician assistants in the office, but nothing to do with Dr. John. I don't think it's fair that people are giving Dr. John a poor rating when they are unhappy with a completely different provider's care. I think he's a great doctor and apparently other people do as well. He has been voted best doctor in North Santa Barbara County several times as has his brother Dr. Bob Okerblom.

A loved one of mine spoke with the medical assistant, Crystal, regarding a referral, and she…read morestarted the conversation off in an irritated manner by saying the following, verbatim: "Everything was explained to you and you still had a question." Crystal and her demeanor are a perfect example of why many people are afraid to ask important questions about their health, bc they're worried they're going to be met with misplaced condescension. Well, clearly, Crystal, not "everything" was explained if there was a follow-up question, but the obvious assumption and underhanded implication in your statement is that you and your team cannot possibly have any blind spots, and that- because you don't have any blind spots- anyone who asks you a question must clearly be stupid. Crystal- you are in the healthcare space, but you don't belong in it as long as you treat patients with that demeanor. Do better. That attitude is in very poor taste. Do you treat patients the way you want your most loved ones to be treated? Please ask yourself this next time someone is reaching out to you for help. It is a nasty thing to be in a position to help someone experiencing vulnerability, and to use that opportunity to be rude and condescending.
