Today was my first time meeting Dr. Kolstad. I've heard lots of talk about "patient-centered care"…read morein the past, but never have I met someone who so embodies this philosophy as she does. The time she took to ensure she truly understood my health concerns, the thoroughness of her questions, the holistic approach to interventions and her clear explanations of treatment options were absolutely exceptional. It is rare to find someone with her depth of knowledge, outstanding empathy for the patient experience, and radiant kindness. I am so thankful she chose a career in medicine, and we are all so lucky she has chosen to practice here in Santa Barbara.

The level of care and efficiency from the office was so professional and the surgery and many follow up visits were positive, informative and incredible helpful. I highly recommend this practice. So grateful to have the ability to strength- train after such a heinous injury to this old body. There is no way I would have been able to do it without their positive support, kindness and (most of all!) surgical talent! Thank you Doctors Sheppard and Romero!

The office contact ability is severely impaired and virtually unusable. Incoming calls to the…read moreoffice is limited with most calls dropped, going to an infinite ring, department transfers disconnect ... major phone system issues. Several reviews express the same and honestly imagine you just had surgery and need followup support from YOUR doctor or the medical team!!? NO Bueno. Messages both voicemail and email go unanswered. Had my chart sent over in less than 24 hours from Ventura Ortho for a second opinion and evaluation here. Appointment with Dr. Romero went well and we rescheduled a surgery consult and prep recall out a few weeks. We just don't feel comfortable proceeding with this medical group when there is NO confidence in receiving responsible access to records or the doctor's office. Potential patients beware... Canceling today and moving forward elsewhere so we can be assured of quality care and a professional medical team.

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.

An update to my review as of 1/20/2026: We continue to be batted between UCLA telling us to call…read moreour insurance, and our insurance (Cigna) to call UCLA due to them (correctly) stating they do not set the prices, and only UCLA can help due to them charging us at a special faculty rate (despite special faculty rate NOT being the appropriate categorization for a primary care visit), and not informing us beforehand that this would be the case. Once we finally reach someone to talk to at UCLA, we are told a supervisor will look into it and then get no response for a month, only for us to proactively follow up and be put through the same claims process again with no help in sight. Truly, one of the worst healthcare experiences we have had. Over $1000 to get 5-10 minutes with a primary care Dr to request a an antidepressant that I have taken for years, and requiring a follow up Drs appointment to charge hundreds of dollars a second time to even be able to receive a refill of the medication. I hope my experience informs others and they choose a different healthcare provider group. Not only is there nobody to go to for help, the UCLA billing department actively does NOT want to help you, and unnecessary follow-up appointments are booked in order to extract as much money as possible from a patient into their healthcare system.
