I can't recommend Dr. Naval highly enough. I recently had a difficult extraction and bone graft…read morewith her and will be returning for my dental implant. I live in Los Angeles and drive to Santa Barbara to see her (as does my entire family). She is an exceptional oral surgeon--meticulous, thoughtful, kind, and patient. She takes her time, never makes you feel rushed, and makes sure you understand exactly what's happening and why. I'm very nervous about dental procedures, but her calm approach and attention to detail got me through it. The quality of her work has been outstanding, and I am grateful to be in such capable hands. If you're looking for technical excellence with genuine care for patients, Dr. Naval is the absolute best!

Botox, Fillers, and etc.. have you heard about them???…read more I don't routinely get Botox, maybe once or twice a year, only for special occasions. But when I do I seek out Lori at Dr. Gunson's office. Lori is a licensed PA, who started out in dermatology initially and is now working in the maxilofacial surgery field. She is everything you need in a esthetic provider. She's knowledgeable, gentle, conservative, and kind. If ever in need of all things fillers and Botox, come and see her.

If you're considering double jaw surgery, look no further than Dr. Michael Gunson and Lori Heinze…read morein Santa Barbara / Goleta--they are truly the best in the field. They take on the toughest cases, and I am beyond grateful that my Ohio orthodontist referred me to them. I had double jaw surgery (DJS) at age 56 with Dr. Gunson, and I could not have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, everything was handled with the utmost professionalism and care. The entire process--from my initial consultation in January 2022, to my surgery in March 2024, throughout my follow up care to my one-year final appointment in March 2025--was exceptional. My recovery was easier than I expected, and the results have been life-changing. I no longer suffer from daily headaches, neck, or shoulder pain. My severe snoring disappeared overnight--I now sleep peacefully through the night for the first time in years. People often tell me I look ten years younger! But the biggest, most immediate difference? As soon as I woke up from surgery, I took one deep breath in and knew it had worked. My airway was increased by four times in size, and for the first time, I could breathe fully and freely. Dr. Gunson is a brilliant, meticulous, and compassionate surgeon who specializes in these procedures, and his expertise is evident at every step. Lori Heinze and the entire team (Carol, Kim, Jasmine) are incredibly kind, intelligent, and hardworking--they made me feel completely supported throughout the entire journey. My only regret? Not doing this years ago! I was nervous and kept putting it off, but now, knowing what I do, I would have done it sooner without hesitation. If you are considering jaw surgery, trust Dr. Gunson and his team--you will be in the best hands possible. A million thank yous to Dr. Gunson, Lori Heinze, and the entire staff! You gave me a new quality of life, and I will forever be grateful. Highly, highly recommend I give Gunson a 10/10 Rating! Angela Thomas (Ohio)

I was referred by my wife who had a positive experence. I…read morewent for a cleaning and exam. The cleaning was through and humane. Extra x-rays were taken to make sure the Dr. got a good view, and a failing filling was spotted. They got me in a few weeks later and took care of it. Dr. Suzuki has a very good needle technique, I barely felt a thing. The drilling and filling went so smooth I fell asleep! Care was taken to get a good bite (fit). Everyone was kind and professional. Two hours later the novacane wore off and my mouth was back to normal. I even had shaded parking spaces both times. It just don't get no better than that!

Not only are Lloyd and Karen the sweetest people, they never try to upsell you in my opinion and they do care about their patients. Their office staff is also extremely kind and pleasant to deal with, highly recommended.

STAY AWAY FROM THE SO CALLED DENTIST Vu T. Le. This idiot is everything but an ethical, moral, or…read moreeven a low-end dentist. He kept ruining my wife's and my teeth by performing more and more unnecessary work to milk us and take us for as much as he could. He sent us to numerous dental/oral specialists in Santa Barbara for unnecessary and worthless second opinions. We only realized that after we saw two other dentists with our original xrays who both believed the same thing... "Your dentist must have loved money" since none of the extensive work he did and the money you spent have been necessary and many of them have caused more harm. We don't know anything about other doctors in that office but this guy is a total crook.

What a dentist! He is quick, efficient, friendly and does excellent work. No fear of the dentist!read more
