All the staff was attentive and trying to control my pain and be there for me to make sure I was doing okay. I was on pain management and had my labs taken not needing multiple IV's which was very nice. I needed surgery and the staff was so kind in the transition to prep me for it. they were very informative with all the decisions being made and made sure I understood. I am so grateful for Cottage and all their employees as I felt safe and taken care of and heard. every step of the way I was informed and my gratitude for the staff will always be so high.

The nurses were incredible in the L&D department, maternity ward, and the NICU. The NICU staff is wonderful. Very kind, knowledgeable, and experienced. So many of the nurses have had 20+ years experience in the NICU. That was comforting. The Neonatologists were great as well. They always took the time to sit and chat and answer as many questions as we had. The doctors were also available by phone if we happened to miss them in the NICU. Unfortunately not all hospitals have the same environment as Cottage's NICU. The new hospital is beautiful and the food .... Holy moly. A hospital with a menu! Awesome.

Disgusting the only redeeming thing about this place were the female nurses. Front desk was also rude. This is exactly why women don't trust the medical industry. He also asked me if I "come in to the doctors often" as if I'm a hypochondriac. I haven't been in 2 years because these experiences are traumatizing. Do some sexual harassment training because women don't want to be touched on the thigh without consent.

I got a Bone Score test at Montecito Concierge Medicine recently. From my first phone call to set…read moreup the appointment, to being tested and learning my Bone Score, it was a great experience. A tiny sensation from the local anesthesia, but even that was much less than usual because Dr. Viglione used a tiny needle. The test itself was completely painless and there was no pain afterwards. I was so happy to learn my bone score and discuss it with Dr. Viglione. It told me that, in addition to the bone loss I already knew about, my bone quality was low because my bone was soft. This is the information I needed to decide to take Prolia to improve my bones. I am an inventor of the technology and can attest that Dr. Viglione used it perfectly! He and his nurse Mary Sidavanh made it one of the most pleasant doctor's visits I can recall.

Staff is nice, doctors are nice, but they try too hard to force you into talking with their counselors. I'm in good health, a good student, and I don't over do it with the extracurriculars. But they kept trying to find something wrong with me, so that I could talk to their counselors. In the end, I did. Waste of time and resources I say. No wonder they charge each student almost $500 a quarter. The second and probably the last time I will ever come here, I had this cough that wouldn't go away. It's been 2.5 weeks since I've had it, and the doctor could not figure out what was causing it. She did however kept talking about me seeing one of their great counselors. When I refused, she just kept prying and want to know why I wouldn't go and wouldn't trust that I know how to handle myself. She wouldn't let me leave until I agreed, because once I did, she rushed me and sent me off. Later that day, I got even sicker. My cough was cough was still there, but now I had a fever, sweating, tired, headaches, a little sore, etc. Coming here made me sick. Needless to say, the doctor was useless, and my friend in nursing school had a much better diagnosis of my mysterious cough than that doctor who I will remain nameless because from my experience here, they are all the same. I still had my cough a week later, and went to a real hospital who diagnosed me with exactly what my nursing school friend said it could be. I need my doctor to be a doctor, and if I need a counselor or someone to talk to, I know where to go. Good thing I waive this ridiculous university health insurance every year. Waste of my time, and thankfully not money. Not coming back again. My suggestion: if you want to get sick, come here. If you want to talk to a counselor, come here. If you want to waste your time and money, come here.

All in all, I was in there for 30 minutes. My only setback was that they didn't take my insurance, so I'm interested in knowing how much my bill would be.
