    The secretary was very rude. Made an appointment with Dr. Moelleken and explained what we were…read morelooking for and even told them it would be out of our personal pocket. No insurance. They had agreed to the appointment and then 2 weeks later, the day before the appointment they canceled. We called to ask why and they were being very shady. Making excuses. It was almost as if they were scared of something. I've heard plenty of rumors that certain doctors talk to each other and I feel like this was one of those situations. I'm guessing Dr. Moelleken didn't want to "step on anybody's toes." Don't waste your time with them.

But I can't give them such a good rating now! Their service has really gone downhill from the standpoint of dependability on follow through. This also applies at least in part to the Santa Barbara surgery center. Their attentiveness and attention to details now leaves a good deal to be desired as compared with years past. Not exactly what I term very "Professional." It's like their plate is overly full. I'm in hopes something will be done to raise their standards back to what it previously was!! It's needed!

    The workers were very kind but my experience with Dr Ryu was horrible. My gp doctor recommended…read morehom for my knee replacement but he decided I had a bad attitude because I was asking questions about the upcoming surgery. I was nervous and scared but his reaction was utter disrespect and said my attitude was bad and he was not doing the surgery. Please note this was the day BEFORE THE PROCEDURE. Dr. Ryu has a GOD complex and NO bedside manner. He treated me like a lowly slave who had no business asking him questions. If you want a compassionate understanding good doctor who treats people with respect and courtesy this IS NOT THE DOCTOR TO SEE. I have worked with some rude uncaring doctors in my ER in the past but he has been the worst. He may come highly recommended but I don't do pompous doctors who treat patients like dogs. I highly suggest people go see another doctor because this one is mean, nasty and rude. I know he might have been having a tough day but to take it out on patients is despicable.

At the time I was active duty in the military, and the last thing I needed was a chronic injury. weighing my options I chose to have it fixed surgically, after initially being referred to a different off base ortho surgeon, said surgeon referred me to Dr. Ryu. I had an arthroscopic repair done, and I will say I knew the recovery time beforehand and I was well informed as a patient. The surgery was well worth it in my opinion. At the time of writing this it is roughly a month and a half since I was discharged as his patient. I have full mobility, and with a semi intensive training regime my strength is about where it was before the surgery and post op atrophy. Well before I recovered, I was also unfortunately tasked with a physically intensive TDA well outside what I could physically do at the time. I worked within my limits, and was religious with my physical therapy exercises. I was stuck between a rock and a hard place when it came to my new job duties and my recovery. Looking back on it, I did risk further injury by pushing myself before I was physically recovered. When it comes down to it I attribute my outcomes post op to dr. ryus proficiency, and not luck. In all honesty I am many things, but lucky is not one of them. I genuinely do attribute my overall outcome from the surgery to Dr. Ryu's advice post op, and his proficiency as an orthopedic surgeon. I can only speak to my experience as a patient of his, and I am beyond satisfied with the outcome of my surgery. I will also say that as a service yelp caters to people that seek dissatisfaction, or a vector to complain. If I ever had a injury in my other shoulder, I would seek to be his patient again. my outcome speaks for itself.

    Normally I wouldn't waste my time with leaving a negative review but I feel obligated to inform…read moreothers and maybe help prevent some other poor soul from experiencing what I went through. My first mistake was not looking at all of Dr Pearson's reviews on Yelp and Google. I saw four stars for his Santa Barbara practice and assumed that was good enough. He's a doctor, he knows what he's doing, right? Wrong. I came to Dr Pearson as most, through a referral from my PC Doc via my HMO. He diagnosed me with a Morton's neuroma and told me surgery was the only option. After a few months, I decided to go through with the procedure. He never ordered an MRI or any imaging. The surgery went fine, but my recovery never happened. After 11 months , he finally ordered an MRI. The MRI clearly showed and described a recurring neuroma. Dr Pearson, ignored that and basically told me the pain was in my head. "Pain is pain" were his exact words. No offer to do a follow up surgery or admit he didn't do the procedure correctly. He was very elusive and dismissive in his responses to questions. After a total of 14 appointments over a 2 year period, and a failed surgery, I gave up on this guy and found another doctor. I'm now 6 weeks post Op with Dr Haggerty at Alta Orthopedic. She found the neuroma, removed it and I'm now back to hiking and walking at about 80% and hopeful to make a full recovery. Sorry, Dr Pearson, pain is not always pain. Sometimes pain is caused by the actual problem you diagnosed but failed to resolve. Dr Pearson may be good enough for simple broken ankles and sprangs, but I'd stay far away If you need surgery or have a complicated issue.

    Dr. Pearson has been nothing but nasty to me. He has made several rude comments to me and does not…read moretake me seriously as a patient.

Elizabeth, the young wonderful receptionist always greets me with a Colgate smile from ear to ear and a warm hello. So gorgeous, it makes me want to come back just to see it. If smiles like hers is what I'm in for when my work is done; I'm definitely looking forward to the completed job. Alondra, and all the other young ladies hard at work here make this place feel as if a welcoming committee has been scouted by Dr. Hobie, who by all means is more than a professional. His work ethics are skills to be admired, when it comes to professional attitude, patience, tactical approach and care towards his patients; he has not missed yet. I been there several times and as allergic to pain that I am, he takes the cake when it comes to making going to the dentist seem like a walk in the park. And this is coming from someone who would rather take a bullet than going to the dentist, they terrify me. Dr. Hobie though, and those dynamic members of his team, are not only beautiful, but professional in every sense of the word. I really admire his and their dedication, understanding, and commitment when it comes to their patients. The quality by which they operate this office make should be the motto by which all these other family practices operate. Thank you Dr. Hobie, and thank you beautiful gals.
