    Dr. Gidney has helped my spouse with ablation for A-Fib in September 2014 and just yesterday for…read morePVC events, which are a different issue. I would really recommend Dr. Gidney. He is one of the top specialists in quite a large area. As far as that "1-star" review. They should know better to call 911 when they are having chest pains that radiate down their arm.

    When I look at a review, I start with 1 stars, weed out the ridiculous stuff and see if there is a…read moreconsistent pattern for the 1 star review. I'm writing this review because I can see someone else had issues that appear to be valid. I had a dual chamber pacemaker implanted last fall. I met with Dr. Gidney who answered some questions and seemed personable to me. I also have hiked with a retired cardiologist who spoke positively of him, but wasn't aware that he was doing pacemakers. Dr. Gidney did tell me that the implant would be hardly noticeable which has definitely not been the case for me because I am not overweight and in good shape. In fact, and this is going to sound crazy, but I was awake when he did the procedure, being fed sedatives intravenously, no gas, and listening to the talk from the technicians who all really seemed competent to me and knew what they were doing. I believe they were Cottage hospital employees. At one point during the procedure I heard Dr. Gidney say somethig, not the exact words perhaps, like "This isn't going well" and getting really frustrated. I am guessing it had to do with getting the pacemaker implanted and getting the skin surrounding it to stitch up properly. And this is really the main issue, the skin hasn't healed properly and when I went into their office and told the NP she said it was all fine. Another review mentioned how cold these people are, this NP was no exception. She struck me as really inexperienced as well. I showed her stitches that weren't dissolving and she said they were a scab. At 71, I have had a few stitiches and my life and can certainly tell the difference. This woman in my opinion was imcompetent. There are 3 doctors in my family so I don't say this without that support. Recently the PA at the dermatologist office also noted the spot where the skin wasn't healing and still scabbed during a skin check and thought there wa something going on underneath and susggested I contact them, I would have but they fired me for calling out the NP inability to assist me and suggesting that she wasn't competent. I can't speak to the other procedures this Dr. performs, but I would definitely not get a pacemaker implanted by him or deal with anyone in his office. They truly are coldhearted and not competent at what they do.

    Dr. Haig is an outstanding general practitioner. He genuinely cares about his patients and…read moreexemplifies this by taking his time with you, answering all your questions as best he can, and most importantly to me, he is an action taker. Whenever I have needed something done in relation to my condition, Dr. Haig got it done immediately. He made no excuses about being too busy (which he certainly is extremely busy and could make that excuse like other doctors)...he delegates extremely well with his staff so that all your needs are met and you receive the best possible care. I feel lucky to have him on my care team. I'm sure others agree because he is becoming more and more popular in the community--the wait time to get a new patient appointment is several months! For long term quality care, it is well worth the wait.

    Dr. Sawyer Haig is the best doctor I have worked with in a long time. He listens, he demonstrates…read morecare and concern, and he then he actually goes out of his way to help. He explains things well and has an easy manner about him. He does not seem to be the least bit arrogant or narcissistic, which I have found is very rare for a doctor. I was very lucky he had an opening for a new patient due to a last minute cancellation. I have been quite dissatisfied with the quality of services at Sansum clinic is able to provide, and was looking all over Santa Barbara for a new primary doctor. Nobody in this town is taking new patients except for Sansum clinic. If you need a new doctor or need to transfer, you should request Dr. Haig!!
