The secretary was very rude. Made an appointment with Dr. Moelleken and explained what we were…read morelooking for and even told them it would be out of our personal pocket. No insurance. They had agreed to the appointment and then 2 weeks later, the day before the appointment they canceled. We called to ask why and they were being very shady. Making excuses. It was almost as if they were scared of something. I've heard plenty of rumors that certain doctors talk to each other and I feel like this was one of those situations. I'm guessing Dr. Moelleken didn't want to "step on anybody's toes." Don't waste your time with them.

A few years back, I wrote a deserved glowing review of the Santa Maria office of the Spine &…read moreOrthopedic Center. (My doctor himself is good in many ways!) But I can't give them such a good rating now! Their service has really gone downhill from the standpoint of dependability on follow through. This also applies at least in part to the Santa Barbara surgery center. Their attentiveness and attention to details now leaves a good deal to be desired as compared with years past. Not exactly what I term very "Professional." It's like their plate is overly full. I'm in hopes something will be done to raise their standards back to what it previously was!! It's needed!

I was recommended to Dr Weise by a good friend of mine. I had my left hip replaced in 5/2024 and my right hip done this year 4/2025. Dr Weise did an amazing job both times and I will forever be grateful to him. He was always there to help me through it and always answered my questions and concerns. His office staff is top notch and I recommend him to anyone in need of an orthopedic surgeon. I am almost pain free and can get on with my life and play with my grandchildren. Thank you Dr Weise.

I wish I could say more positive things about Dr Lawler but I can't. He did two surgeries on me…read more One was done well enough. The other was a disaster, leaving me handicapped and in pain. I can say he seemed kind and gentle but engaged? Not so much. I won't trash him cause everybody has reasons to do less than there best and SLO is a small area and I may have to see him again and don't want to cause trouble. But mistakes shouldn't happen in the operating room and I do wish they hadn't happened to me. I had pre existing conditions that may or may not have affected the outcome but that wasn't the reason for the failure of the surgery. When facing something as important as surgery go into it having done your homework, your doctor should score an A.

I honestly wouldn't recommend this place to anyone and if you do go be prepared to wait hours
