He performed laser surgery to correct an astigmatism in the same eye and at the same time as the cataract surgery. The surgery was quick, highly successful and I experienced almost no pain in in surgery or during the following week after surgery. The morning after surgery I was seeing very clearly out of my right eye. I'm returning for laser / cataract surgery on my left eye, with the confidence of knowing I can trust Dr Fante and can expect wonderful results. I first saw Dr Fante several years ago for a condition that was extremely rare and hard to diagnose. Dr Fante was extremely helpful in the process of diagnosing the cause of the eye symptoms, which included temporary blindness in one eye over the course of several months. Dr Fante followed my case through by referring me to other doctors who helped determine the exact cause of my problem. The final result was 100% restoration of my 20/20 vision. The office staff and medical technicians are all very professional and friendly at Sansum Clinic (now Sutter Health).

I had eyelid surgery performed by Dr. Katsev in December 2025, and unfortunately my experience has…read morebeen very disappointing. Since the procedure, my left eye does not fully close, and I was told that too much skin may have been removed. This has caused ongoing issues with dryness, light sensitivity, and discomfort--especially in the mornings when I often cannot open my eyes for 10-15 minutes due to sensitivity. Time and time and time again he kept telling me it'll get better they will get better. I had shared once that I wish I had never done the surgery and he replied well if I knew this was gonna happen I wouldn't have done it either. Over time, my vision has continued to change, and I have not been able to get stable corrective lenses. I also experience difficulty reading fine print and using a computer, which has impacted my daily life and schoolwork. Despite these ongoing concerns, I repeatedly felt that my symptoms were not taken seriously and was often reassured that things would "get better," but they have not improved. Additionally, I was encouraged to try a different type of lens approach which was another surgery that did not work, and I was charged $350 per eye each time. Being on disability, this has been a significant financial burden, and I do not feel these additional costs were justified given the outcome. This experience has been both physically and emotionally difficult. I am currently seeking corrective care with another doctor in hopes of resolving these issues. I believe patients deserve to feel heard, taken seriously, and fully informed about potential outcomes. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. So all in all I had to have a fourth surgery to correct the mistake that he had made. Also, I never felt like I was heard or an apology or anything. It was like I didn't care at all about me.

Dr. Chapple is doing God's work on earth!…read more My story begins in San Luis Obispo, CA where I was working at a bar in mid-March and was hit in the face by a drunk guy. This resulted in my left cheekbone being fractured in three places. The following week, everything began getting shut down by COVID-19. It was extremely difficult to reach my insurance, doctors offices, and even find soft foods at the grocery store. That first week after the injury was brutal. I wasn't seen by a specialist until over a week later. Then when I finally got to see him, his office and my insurance could not come to a financial agreement for the surgery. I saw him three times over the course of a month and a half and every time was this same excuse. Then finally after he gave up on my insurance, I found Dr. Chapple. At first I didn't know what to expect, I never thought I would be seeing a plastic surgeon at the age of 25 (or ever for that matter). The first time I saw him was at the end of May and he asked me "Why was this fracture not corrected around the time of injury?" When I told him it was a financial problem between the insurance and previous specialist, he couldn't believe it. He sat me down and explained all my options, he was very thorough and explained everything so any regular person could understand. After his explanation I told him I was still interested in doing the surgery and he told me they would schedule it right away. I genuinely felt this doctor cared about my situation and wanted to help. I struggled immensely between the injury and seeing Dr. Chapple because it felt like no one was going to help me recover. Dr. Chapple has a kind heart and his staff was very professional and helpful throughout the entire process. The surgery took place days later, YES DAYS. After waiting for so long I couldn't believe it was actually happening and the results could not have been better! The left side of my face was essentially flat before the surgery and now it looks like I have a cheekbone again. There is no doubt, if you want a plastic surgeon that cares about his patients and gives amazing results, go see Dr. Chapple!

I was incensed by the person slamming Dr. Chapple. Indeed, her remarks illustrates the "power …read more.. and folly" of Yelp. A person with no knowledge of Dr. Chapple can react like a spoiled trollop because of some hurt "snowflake" feelings. Then again, what she stated, probably happened. New staff can make errors. Remember, this "offended person" had no procedure from Dr. Chapple. So, now you will hear from someone who has known Dr. Chapple for 45 years! Back in the late 1970s and early 1980s I opened my electrology office in Santa Barbara and had several transsexual clients (M - F beard removal). At the time few surgeons would work on transgender people. The infamous Dr. Brown, Los Angeles, (who eventually lost his license and moved to Mexico) did surgeries and disfigured many trans-people; including a few of my clients. I wrote to all the surgeons in Ventura and Santa Barbara about this horrible situation. ONLY Dr. Chapple responded. He phoned me. He not only corrected the surgeries, but he didn't charge ... the surgeries were free. Thus, began my extensive experience with Dr. Chapple. Over the years, I have referred at least 50 of my own patients (and friends) for plastic and reconstructive surgery. All brilliant outcomes. Chapple is not only a stellar surgeon; he is a "wizard" and is able to do things others seem incapable of preforming. And, I know what I'm talking about. I worked in surgery with other surgeons. Their work was not up to Chapple's level. (Great personalities ... not so great in surgery!) For example, I had a simple "eyelid" procedure from a surgeon I worked with, and it "went wrong." Chapple corrected it using a complicated procedure that other surgeons were anxious about performing. But it gets better! One of my favorite patients had breast augmentation from another plastic surgeon (no longer here). The surgeon took my patient home after her surgery and "enjoyed a good time" in his hot tub. A few days later, the woman had both breasts infected and ended up at Cottage hospital. Chapple was called in. He had to remove both breast implants and the woman was on I.V. antibiotics. After she was cleared-up, Dr. Chapple reconstructed her breasts FOR FREE. Even the mention of Dr. Chapple's name, to my client, would cause her to cry at how much he helped her. But it gets better ... WAY better! For Chapple's entire career, unknown to people in Santa Barbara, he has traveled to underdeveloped countries and performed free surgery on children and adults with facial (and other) deformities. He pays his own way. I asked him why he doesn't claim any "notoriety" and he said he doesn't want any recognition. "Helping others in need" is enough reward for him. There are facelifts, and then there are facelifts. The ones you cannot detect are the ones Chapple has done. He is the only surgeon I've seen who can perform male facelifts (and female too, of course) that look completely natural. Again, I have sent at least 50 people to Chapple (and cared for many of his post-op patients) ... I know his work well. Additionally, Chapple is not only one of the best Plastic Surgeons ... he is also one of our best physicians (he is in the Dr. Hosea category: TOP guys!). Before any procedure, Chapple reviews what is intended and he directs me to all the finest physicians (and saved me from the not-so-good ones). Several years ago, he identified a potentially fatal skin cancer on my face; when the lesion was less than 1-millimeter in diameter. I had to have a large (hand-sized) skin graft and 5-weeks of radiation. I'm fine; the graft is nearly invisible. If you want an office done-up by a decorator, a 300-gallon fish tank, a fancy coffee, a pampering staff that looks like Vogue models, and a surgeon who is more SALESMAN than surgeon ... Chapple is not your man. If you want facials, worthless "products," feel-good procedures, happy talk and "machines" that do nothing (but take your money) ... it's not Chapple. Indeed, Chapple's office is minimal and he hasn't got the best "bedside" (he is British after all). However, once in surgery he is all business (not easy to work with ... it's a legend), and is focused on his work like an Olympic athlete. Eventually, you will find him charming and engaging ... and intelligent. Yes, Cambridge and Stanford intelligent! Chapple's successful surgeries number in the thousands in Santa Barbara. Probably everyone you know has been touched by this kind and extraordinary man: a man with virtually no ego, and no need for superficial adulation. Actually, he doesn't "need Yelp" at all ... his patients come from his many thousands of successful outcomes. Santa Barbara knows Dr. Chapple! He's a local institution.
