I totally will have to see a different surgeon after this. The worse experience I've ever had when dealing with my health. She is not compassionate at all or even had the skills to speak to you on the phone even after you are explaining your health situation to her. Needing surgery is not a game lady!!! Super upset with this treatment I received from her and for sure won't recommend anyone there.

Highly recommend this office.

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.

This review is for Sari Winans, N.P…read more I had the unusual opportunity to compare two pre-op consultations at different practices for the same surgery. Because a previous operation went terribly wrong and left me permanently disabled, I explained to both nurse practitioners that I now experience significant fear and PTSD surrounding surgery. Whereas the first NP (not at SMG, at a different practice) was cold and dismissive, Sari was entirely different. She listened, asked thoughtful and focused questions, showed genuine compassion, and helped me understand how to advocate for myself with the anesthesiologist. She made me feel heard, respected, and far less afraid. After everything I have endured, finding Sari and Santa Maria Gastroenterology felt like a blessing. She advocated for me, restored my trust, and made me feel seen. Sari is an angel.

Thank you to the female PA who sent it in. I still haven't heard a word from the disgusting office manager, Lori. She is a gutless coward who should absolutely be fired! 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. He has a great office staff and the girls in the back office always loved seeing our son and offering him something in the Treasure Box after his visit. I would highly recommend him.
