    Arfai, due to my other illnesses, and I basically spilled my guts to him, which in return, he didn't even flinch.

    My sister had surgery at Summit Surgery Center for a rotator cuff tear. I was her designated driver…read morebut also her POA. We were both extremely pleased with the care and skill provided by Dr. Yau--after all, arthroscopic surgery is one of his specialties. We found his entire team to be welcoming, friendly and helpful during this time. A shout-out particularly to Cara and Amy at the surgery center front desk, along with her pre-op and recovery nurse Emily S. It was a wonderful experience and often businesses like surgery centers don't receive the acknowledgement it deserves. We came back a few days later after her follow-up visit to give the staff holiday cupcakes. Thank you!

They insisted no food or water since midnight before so I was almost 20 hours fasting and very dehydrated and depleted. They loaded me with narcotics before during and after and sent me home at almost 9pm. after a hip replacement despite being dizzy nauseated and unable to hold any food down. They gave me some throw up bags and sent me on my way. We had a 2 hour drive and I was practically in shock at this point. Ended up fainting when I got home. My impression of summit surgery center is they try and cram as many surgeries into one day as possible without truly regarding the well being of each individual. I do believe there are really talented surgeons who operate here but that doesn't encompass a patients entire experience. I wont be returning to this facility ever again. They definitely did not have my back- their motto is "next"...

    I had an MRI done in mid-2023 and it showed I had a high-grade bursal-sided partial rotator cuff…read moretear on my left shoulder. This greatly limited the use of my left arm - I could only raise it just above my head. My shoulder become sorer and stiffer every couple of days. I read many on-line reviews of the orthopedic surgeons to familiarize myself with the surgeons in the Santa Barbara area. Fortunately, we are lucky to have some fine surgeons to choose from. From the reviews and ratings that I read, Dr. Richard Ryu was at the on top of the ratings. Due to the critical importance of selecting the right surgeon however, I decided to also personally speak with health care and medical professionals here in town for their recommendations. Dr. Ryu was the name usually mentioned as the best orthopedic surgeon. This made my decision an easy one. I had surgery at the end of Oct 2023. I had MINIMAL PAIN after my surgery. After the fourth day of surgery I no longer needed to take any medication. My left shoulder was however very stiff. I had intensive physical therapy at home 5-7 days a week/5x a day and formal physical therapy at Hayashida PT downtown SB twice a week for approx. 24 weeks. As of May 2024, I now have full range of motion in my left shoulder. - The office of Dr. Ryu is busy but courteous and friendly. - You will be expected to be on time for your appointment! - I experienced NO wait times in the lobby for all of my appointments, and very short wait times in the exam room (approx. 2-5 min - not your typical 15-20 minute wait times or longer). This can only happen if patients are on time. - Dr. Ryu is very thorough and professional. He's very good at explaining the steps needed pre and post-surgery - all of pre and post- surgery steps are written down for you to follow. He will expect you to listen and follow his instructions so you will achieve the best results. - He is on the conservative side of his surgery approach- using documented proven techniques for the bests results. - Dr. Ryu's credentials speak for themselves. I would like to thank everyone at Hayashida physical therapy and a special shout out to my physical therapist, Dr. Carly Shevitz, for her knowledge, enthusiasm and compassion. Dr. Richard Ryu - I cannot thank you enough for your expertise in your vocation. You are an extremely gifted surgeon and many patients have benefited because of it. I couldn't be more pleased with my results!

The nurses were incredible in the L&D department, maternity ward, and the NICU. The NICU staff is wonderful. Very kind, knowledgeable, and experienced. So many of the nurses have had 20+ years experience in the NICU. That was comforting. The Neonatologists were great as well. They always took the time to sit and chat and answer as many questions as we had. The doctors were also available by phone if we happened to miss them in the NICU. Unfortunately not all hospitals have the same environment as Cottage's NICU. The new hospital is beautiful and the food .... Holy moly. A hospital with a menu! Awesome.
