I could review the year he was my Ob-Gyn but I'll try to keep it short-ish. :) #1- Bedside manner is genuine, caring; comforting during each appointment as well as my surgery/delivery and hospital stay. #2- Knowledgeable of and experienced with a rare condition I had during my second pregnancy (the one before I had him) called HELLP Syndrome. He calmed me down on several occasions of nervousness. #3- I specifically asked him to use two other Lompoc doctors I trust for my c-section (Dr. Gusland & Dr. Schlosser) which he happily accepted. Dr. Trujillo was the main doctor, Gusland assisted during the surgery and Schlosser was the Pediatrician. This was the first time the three of them worked together on a c-section...my husband & I call them "The Dream Team". #4- When the anesthesiologist, Dr. Quan (sp?), who was number four of my dream team, was inserting the epidural "tubing" into my back Dr. Trujillo asked the nurse to step aside so he could hold my hands and comfort me. #5- He checked in on me every single day I was in the hospital. He sat with me, hugged me while I was having a hormonal few minutes. Like I said, I could go on and on about how wonderful Dr. Trujillo is. Lompoc is truly lucky to have him!

This review is for Sari Winans, N.P…read more I had the unusual opportunity to compare two pre-op consultations at different practices for the same surgery. Because a previous operation went terribly wrong and left me permanently disabled, I explained to both nurse practitioners that I now experience significant fear and PTSD surrounding surgery. Whereas the first NP (not at SMG, at a different practice) was cold and dismissive, Sari was entirely different. She listened, asked thoughtful and focused questions, showed genuine compassion, and helped me understand how to advocate for myself with the anesthesiologist. She made me feel heard, respected, and far less afraid. After everything I have endured, finding Sari and Santa Maria Gastroenterology felt like a blessing. She advocated for me, restored my trust, and made me feel seen. Sari is an angel.

If someone calls in to request an appointment normally at a doctors office they get your name and birthdate so they can look through your chart as you go on about what is ailing you. She does not do this. She waits for you to tell her your name and birthdate And give her the long dialogue of your ailments then decides "oh maybe I'll should look you up in the system". Then she get your info looks at your chart and reads the notes you just told her about. Normally this would be no big deal but she is not friendly she's not patient. Shows no bedside manner not the kind you need in a doctors office especially a surgeon when you are dealing with people that are in pain or scared of the issues they are facing. Dr maybe some personnel training is in order. Note I am posting this for a patient of yours so that no retaliation from the receptionist will take place to them.

This made no sense to me, knowing Dr. John as I did, so I was curious and read them. They all have to do with different physician assistants in the office, but nothing to do with Dr. John.

I think he's a great doctor and apparently other people do as well. He has been voted best doctor in North Santa Barbara County several times as has his brother Dr. Bob Okerblom.
