When it was time to remove the stitches, Dr. Brewer was super amazing with Evan! He was so calm with him and communicated in the best way with Evan to help him understand what he was doing. Having stitches is so scary and traumatic, especially for little ones who don't fully understand what's going on! but Dr. Brewer helped him be so strong about it! He took his time calmly evaluating Evan's stitches and making a plan to remove the glue and stitches safely and accurately. We all cheered and Dr. Brewer congratulated Evan for being so strong! On our way out Evan got a little Hot Wheels toy car to take home!

My child has been seeing Dr. Kayumi-Rashti for over a year and she has been nothing other than…read moreexcellent. She is patient during our visits and listens to all concerns and questions and takes the time to talk to you about care in detail. I never feel rushed when I am bringing in my child for a visit. Her calm and professional demeanor is reassuring especially when your little one is sick. I have also called the nursing line to speak to someone immediately regarding my child's symptoms and they are super responsive and professional when guiding you and making recommendations. The 3 stars is due to the staff, specifically the front desk. On multiple occasions I have found the front desk staff to be unorganized and dismissive. I have worked in healthcare for over 10 years in various positions and facilities, I know how hectic and stressful the industry can be. I always try to approach difficult situations with the staff with empathy and compassion but it is difficult with this office when the front desk staff is unprofessional and quick to blame and shame patients/parents without even bothering to understand the situation. A recent example includes miscommunication about my child's visit. It wasn't made clear that I would not be seeing the doctor that day (even though the doctor said they would follow up on symptoms during this particular visit). When I asked if we could see the doctor, the back office staff asked the front desk and the response from one of the receptionists was "I hate when they do that." I hate when I am put in shitty situations due to lack of information and communication, but here we are. While I appreciate the care provided by the physicians and nurses, the front desk's poor service detracts from the overall experience. Improved training and stronger focus on patient interaction would make a huge difference.

I feel very blessed to have found Dr. Howe. :) The staff are also very welcoming and great with the kids. Definitely a great pediatric practice.

As a nurse, I understand the many challenges that face our healthcare system. For countless…read morereasons, I have chosen to seek care outside of the Cottage Hospital and Sansum Clinic systems. I was so excited when UCLA Health came north to Santa Barbara to challenge a careless monopoly. I was blown away when I was given the option over the phone to make a new patient appointment later that same week--versus months down the road elsewhere. After making the appointment, I could fill out all of my medical history and paperwork via MyChart prior to my arrival to make things move along more efficiently. I also received multiple reminders via text and email. Unfortunately, as with every place providing medical care, I could tell they were sorely understaffed. I saw Dr. Dennis Hughes who brought me back to the exam room, went through my entire medical/surgical history and allergies, took my vital signs (including height and weight), and thoroughly performed a physical assessment all on his own! It was honestly a one-man show and outstanding! He listened to my concerns and needs, while making me feel heard and important. I came in to my appointment fasting with the hope to have my annual blood tests done. Sure enough, I conveniently had my blood drawn on site and Dr. Hughes made a video follow-up to go over my results. The facility is new so it was very clean, though appeared to have some growing pains. I wish them the best and look forward to my future care here.

Even when I was going through cancer and he wasn't heading up my team through surgeries he made it a point to watch over me, my care and always made me feel safe! I could go on and on about how blessed I am to have Dr. Byers as my doctor... He is VERY special!... especially in a time where health care has become impersonal and rushed. I must also complement his entire staff. From Marissa (Awesome!) all the way to reception. The entire staff has cultivated an amazing practice to be a part of a rely upon!

She is always there and available for her patients 24/7 and it's so comforting for us to know that. She always knows of the latest treatments and medicines and I could not ask for a better doctor. Shannon at the front desk makes sure all our medical records and test orders are done. I was at a specialist appointment at UCLA once and I called Shannon during that visit and she got all my necessary medical information to them right then and there. Amazing! Stephanie is the medical assistant and she is the nicest, most patient person you will ever meet. She is so efficient and she deals with all the stress of talking to insurance companies to make sure our medicines are covered and up to date. I don't know what we would do without her; she is that exceptional. I usually don't do Yelp reviews but this team really deserves to be lauded. I am so grateful to have them.
