After a frustrating and turbulent year for my toddler…read more(and us) we were referred to Dr Tylor and now the future looks so much brighter for my Littles. She performed double frenectomies on both my infant daughter and my toddler son and the changes we are already seeing are magnificent! She was so caring, understanding and informative throughout the entire process and her team was as well. My son is a uncooperative little booger and they were all so patient with him. We will forever be grateful for the care we received from this practice. Thank you!

Dr. Tylor was such a gift to our family. We had a similar story to some of the reviewers -- our…read moreinfant son had an obstructed airway and tongue-tie. Being our first baby, we were extremely concerned about his issues with his passage way. Unfortunately, no medical professionals were diagnosing him. They were stumped. We finally got referred to Dr. Tylor, right around the time our son turned 10 months. At our first appointment, she walked into the treatment room and was able to diagnose him in 30 seconds by just looking at him. She was able to suggest a treatment plan going forward and didn't want to waste anytime. She happily answered about a million questions. Fast forward to his outpatient surgery before his first birthday, everything went off without a hitch. Her surgical team was amazing and you could just tell they respect her as the expert. Our son got a cold after surgery, and Dr. Tylor answered my frantic calls and texts around 11pm at night. I think most importantly what I want to say is...having a baby is hard already. We were already so stressed out, and Dr. Tylor treated him as if he was her son. I will never be able to thank her enough for her care and expertise. He was a different child after the surgery. Babbling, running, BREATHING, thriving. From our hearts, thank you. P.s. She works her tail off. Never not working.

MONSTER! BE WARNED!…read more Background: My 93-year-old mother-in-law is the sweetest, and most gentle soul on this planet. She prays for people and sees the light in even bad circumstances. She never has an unkind word toward any human. She was seen by Dr Mester to have her ear wax removed. What happened: Dr Mester for some reason decided to de-wax her ears using monstrous metal instruments and suction, rather than ear drops and water jets. He scraped her inner ears so much and so repeatedly that she began to cry. ...and the doctors response?--"Well it needs to be done!" He continued despite her obvious pain. She later stated that she would "rather have her toenails pulled out than go through at again!" Subnote: As my sister-in-law left the office with her, they both overheard this huge, burly man leaving Dr Mester's office who was bawling crying. Seems to be a common thread at his practice. End note: If you don't have basic compassion for humanity, don't be in your profession. People come to you in their hour of need and trust you. I pray you will have an epiphany and treat others with the respect and kindness and the gentleness they deserve. There is no reason this doctor couldn't have used the proven and more humane process of ear drops and water jets for removal of ear wax.

From the owner: As Clinical Professor in the Department of Head and Neck Surgery at UCLA, may I share some exciting…read morenews about our development of a safe treatment for the Patulous Eustachian Tube (PET). When I became a Patulous Eustachian Tube patient myself, I decided to find a safe treatment and applied for an Investigational New Drug (IND) Clinical Trials study. By referrals from NIH and NORD, and voluntary support groups on the International Social Media Medical Forums, we have identified previously undiagnosed PET patients. Many have used PatulEND® with excellent results, with over 80,000 bottles shipped throughout the world. I'd like to share the results and unsolicited testimonials from some of the patients. We receive inquiries every day, from all over the world. People hear about us in many ways: doctor referrals, the Internet, chat rooms/support groups, friends or family members.

After a negative sleep study, yet still snoring in my sleep (or so I was told) and having…read moredifficulty breathing through my nose, I was referred to an ear, nose and throat (ENT) doctor. As someone who worked in the healthcare industry for a decade and a half, I always knew that Dr. Braganza was one of the best and most trusted providers in the ENT specialty within Santa Barbara County. After being given a referral, I surprisingly was able to get in fairly quickly for an appointment. The staff was friendly from the minute I made an appointment to the day I arrived at the office. I was especially thankful for the nurse that helped the doctor out. I have an odd fear of sensitive areas of the body being messed with (particularly the eyes and nose). When they told me I needed to have a quick nose scope done, they provided plenty of numbing spray (thankfully twice) and allowed me to put my feet up during the quick procedure. The doctor was extremely patient and willing to work with me even though I came off as a difficult patient. He was very thorough with his questions and suggestions. I would highly recommend Dr. Braganza's office for anyone who needs to seek care or treatment from an ENT doctor.

To say that Dr May has improved my quality of life is an understatement.

He sent me for an MRI, which proved a deviated septum and enlarged turbinates. We discussed surgery at length and being an an athlete was most worried about being able to exercise. He explained in detail the physiological reaction to septoplasty and the recovery time. Anyway, I went ahead with surgery and within 24 hours I was breathing better than I have in over a decade. It has been less than a week, and he has reversed the effects of 10 years in a single week. Just like any surgery, post surgery was painful, but a week later I don't regret it a single bit. Dr May is one of the most thorough Doctors I've met, and a cool and funny guy to top that.

Reminds me of a song from Tom Petty were he sings: "I'm so tired of being tired Sure as night will follow day Most things I worry about Never happen anyway" So Dr Proctor was correct, I was able to walk to my car, but had assistance from my RN in which she was great even with all her pressures going on, funny, first time ever, never had to use a a wheelchair to be wheeled out after surgery.
