This is my first time visit to Nelson audiology and the hearing aids I have were not purchased there. Long story short, I left with the bad hearing fixed, and both were adjusted to a better default volume level. There was no cost for any of this other than a very reasonable nominal office visit fee. I was seen by Dr. Altus. He is clearly a very competent practitioner, patient, thorough, listens well, and explains things carefully. He also has a very pleasant and engaging personality. I couldn't be more pleased with my first experience dealing with Nelson Audiology. Consequently I would without any reservation recommend Dr. Altus (and Nelson audiology) to anybody.

I came in with my niece a few weeks ago for the first time, there was a bit of a wait time which in most cases it's understandable for a busy afternoon. I was able to watch how the front receptionist was handling everything on her own. While she received no help from the other receptionist who had a bad attitude and didn't seem to care to help she made herself look busy and sent the other patients to the other girl, very unprofessional on her part. Overall, my niece's appointment went smoothly, the doctor and assistant were amazing!!

I came in after looking for a reliable orthodontist on Yelp. I was impressed by their reviews and…read morescheduled a free consultation. The day of the consultation I got the braces on! I always was excited to come in for an appointment to get my braces tightened and/or get new wires. The staff here is kind and considerate. I had my braces on for little more than 2 years and am so satisfied with the results. Imelda was the orthodontist assistant that usually helped me and she's amazing. She is super sweet and always made sure no wires were poking me. Dr McDade is an excellent orthodontist, he really cares about his patients and wants them to be happy with their results. After I got my braces off I got retainers and Dr McDade fixed two of my chipped teeth. I had originally gone to Johnson dental and they had quoted me a little more than $8000 for braces. I saw their reviews and was hesitant to go with them. I am so glad I came here. I paid less than $8k and received great orthodontic care by trustworthy and efficient staff.

I just received my braces last week with Dr. McDade and I am extremely happy. Initially I was going…read moreto go with my regular dentist because it was cheaper. However, when I went to see McDade for a consult, I instantly felt comfortable and knew he was going to do an excellent job improving my smile. Indeed, he mentioned how when I smile, I don't show my upper teeth (and he can fix this)which is true, but I never paid attention and I tend to smirk not smile. I knew my smile wasn't the greatest, but I couldn't pin point what it was. Ok so then I saw my dentist to see if he could do the braces, I didn't like him for this because he didn't mention anything abt my smile like McDade did and I felt he wasn't going to do a great job.-he is not an orthodontist-but it was cheaper. AT the end, I choose McDade and I made the right choice because he uses top of the line equipment, he is kind and an expert at fixing your smile. For those who want to see their regular dentist for braces I say stick with the experts in this field and go to an orthodontist like Dr. McDade, you may pay less w a regular dentist, but you will end up paying more later on when your smile is not completely fixed.

In January 2025, I was admitted to the ICU of Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital with not just one, but…read moretwo of the most deadly -- and destructive -- things you can get: Necrotizing Fasciitis (known as "Flesh Eating Disease") and Septic Shock. I was in a coma for eight days. To say that Dr. Quijano saved my life is an understatement. I didn't just have one foot in the grave, I was completely in it. My husband was told by the ICU staff that I'd be lucky to live and even if I did, I'd likely lose my right leg. Dr. Quijano operated on me numerous times. I came out of it with my body intact and eighteen months later I am one of the lucky survivors with my health and mobility. Dr. Quijano did follow up abdominal surgery in June 2026 and that, too, is a success. In addition to being a great surgeon, Dr. Q, as he's affectionately known, will explain your options and he listens to your concerns. His staff is kind and courteous. Santa Barbara is mighty lucky to have this genius surgeon.
