    Doesn't return phone calls and takes +1weeks for prescription refills. I'm finding a new doctor.

I was so excited when UCLA Health came north to Santa Barbara to challenge a careless monopoly. I was blown away when I was given the option over the phone to make a new patient appointment later that same week--versus months down the road elsewhere. After making the appointment, I could fill out all of my medical history and paperwork via MyChart prior to my arrival to make things move along more efficiently. I also received multiple reminders via text and email. Unfortunately, as with every place providing medical care, I could tell they were sorely understaffed. I saw Dr. Dennis Hughes who brought me back to the exam room, went through my entire medical/surgical history and allergies, took my vital signs (including height and weight), and thoroughly performed a physical assessment all on his own! It was honestly a one-man show and outstanding! He listened to my concerns and needs, while making me feel heard and important. I came in to my appointment fasting with the hope to have my annual blood tests done. Sure enough, I conveniently had my blood drawn on site and Dr. Hughes made a video follow-up to go over my results. The facility is new so it was very clean, though appeared to have some growing pains. I wish them the best and look forward to my future care here.

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.

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!!

    My story is "kind of" long. If too long, know this: for certain types of injuries such as soft…read moretissue and joint pains, Dr. Fareed may be THE doctor you want & need. He has treated professional athletes and auto accident victims. People (me included) travel long distances to receive his care. He is an incredibly nice man. His assistant is also extremely kind. SHORT STORY He is a surgeon but prefers to avoid surgery if possible. He developed a treatment for pain caused by inflammation. In my case, and several others, it worked. In short, Hydroplasty involves injecting the inflamed joint with a solution of: (i) saline, (ii) local anesthetic,(iii) steroid. The local relieves pain and allows the tissue to relax. The steroid reduces inflammation. The benefit lasts. It is expensive and insurance coverage was limited. However, I am as close to pain-free as I can be. I avoided costly and ineffective surgery. LONG STORY As a teen and in my 20s I had two injuries. At age 15, I was hit full force in the hip with a golf club. It hurt at the time but it did not affect me until about age 50; at which point it was very painful and limited my ability to do certain sports. It created lower back pain too. At age 23, I injured my shoulder and neck playing football. This injury produced severe pain and muscle tightness. At times the muscle spasms were so bad, I had to twist my neck in unhealthy ways to get a moment of relief. I went to chiropractors, massage therapists and acupuncturists for more than 30 years. I learned yoga, Pilates other forms of physical self-help. None of them cured me but, collectively, they all helped in some way. A few years ago, a chiropractor told me that my problem was soft tissue and not a spine problem - this confirmed what I had believed for more than three decades (but no one was able or willing to say). Less than a year ago, visiting a friend in London, he told me about a treatment he received for frozen shoulder. In his case it was successful and he walked away pain-free after 45 minute office visit. A few months later I related the story to my brother-in-law. He told me about the same treatment and remarkably, that the man who had invented the treatment was in Santa Barbara. It was December 24 and I called Dr. Fareed's office. The response was, "The doctor can see you on the 26th, what time would you like to come in?" Dr. Fareed listened to my history. He prodded and poked my shoulder, neck and hip. He explained that his treatment was worth a try. That morning I received about ten separate injections. Both sides of the neck and various locations of my shoulders and upper back. I was exhilarated by the pain relief (also the steroid made me slightly manic in a good way). I estimate that I was 80% improved on that day. Over the following week, some but nowhere near all of the relief faded. I had four follow-up appointments over the next few months. Six months later my neck pain is almost gone. My hip pain is almost gone. My shoulder pain is mostly gone. I carried pain, extreme at times, for nearly 40 years. Today, my pain and tightness are less than they have ever been over those years.
