After a long search to find a new primary care physician in Santa Maria (they're scarce), I am so…read morepleased to have been accepted as a patient by Dr. Peter Scott! I liked Dr. Scott immediately! He is young, seems health conscious, and he listened when I spoke! He seemed genuinely interested in working with me on my concerns, as I try to lose weight and improve my health. He authorized the blood tests I asked for, and the results have helped me to see where I'm making progress and where my lifestyle still needs work. He also referred me to a specialist I needed to see in order to follow up on a serious health issue. I made my appointment with Dr. Scott mainly because I had heard so many good things about the facility he joined-- Family Care of Santa Maria. Most of their doctors are too busy to see new patients, but they are some of the most popular and highly rated physicians in Santa Maria. I feel lucky to be able to see one of their doctors! The office is conveniently located across from Trader Joe's, and the parking is convenient. I'm as impressed with the staff at the facility as I am with Dr. Scott. Everyone I've dealt with there (receptionists and the medical assistants) has been friendly and a genuine pleasure to deal with. I get the feeling they are treated well, and it shows. I actually enjoy going there. The waiting area is clean and pleasant. Sometimes it takes a few tries to get through on the phone, but that's a minor concern-- I've always been able to get an appointment, or get my question answered, etc. If you are looking for a new physician, I highly recommend Dr. Scott, as well as Family Care of Santa Maria!

Thank you to the female PA who sent it in. I still haven't heard a word from the disgusting office manager, Lori. She is a gutless coward who should absolutely be fired! You can't return a patient's phone call over the course of 3 days. I'm not surprised though. What could she possibly say? Yes my staff is rude, they will hang up on you, lie to you, not deliver your messages to your doctor? She knows that I am righteous on everything I have put on yelp so far. The filthy, uncouth behavior is reprehensible and immature. I hope you are fired soon, Lori and Lulu. You are trash.

Luckily everything was normal and as he predicted, he grew out of it. This was around 2018-2019. He has a great office staff and the girls in the back office always loved seeing our son and offering him something in the Treasure Box after his visit. I would highly recommend him.

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.

He does not conduct thorough assessments and is judgmental, to say the least. I recommend looking for other medical professionals, even if they are not Spanish-speaking, as speaking the language should not be the only reason to choose a doctor who is so disconnected and unprofessional. Es lamentable que, siendo uno de los pocos doctores que hablan español en esta comunidad, sea poco profesional y carezca de empatía. No realiza evaluaciones exhaustivas y es prejuicioso, por decir lo menos. Recomiendo buscar otros profesionales médicos, aunque no hablen español, ya que el idioma no debería ser la única razón para elegir a un médico tan desconectado e incompetente.

They are not the biggest doctor's office that I've been in, it is an old house that the living room is cut in half and that's the waiting area so it can get pretty packed at times. The wait time if you place a call is ridiculously long. The amount of time to schedule appointment takes about a month to get in so you might be dead from your ailment. The staff are not grossly competent or full of customer service. BUT. The PA's and the doctor are really amazing clinicians. Everyone that I have seen has spent an appropriate amount of time to diagnose, provide options and render treatment. I like my doctor's office and most people who are complaining are complaining about first world problems, hey at least we're not waiting three weeks in line to get an appointment for 3 months later.

This was my doctor for several years and I have to say I was an idiot for taking so long to realize…read morethat he is terrible at his job. More than once I sat in the waiting room (that was always packed with more people that could actually fit) for about an hour when I had an appointment. Then, when I would finally get called to a room, I'd had to wait for another 30 minutes. When Dr. Mendoza finally showed up, he'd walk in there like he was in a hurry, kept looking at his watch, wouldn't even bother listening to what I had to say before he was practically kicking me out... Always with the same words: "come back in two weeks". Finally, I decided to go elsewhere and stopped wasting my time, money, and health with this so called Dr. Pros: -None. Cons: -Ridiculous wait time. -Dr always rushing. -Dr does not care about his patients. -Always has more people than he can treat. I know that finding a good doctor can be difficult but when ones health is at steak, we all need to take our time and find one that will listen, and at least pretend to care. Lucky for me, after being with this Dr for so long, I finally found one that treated my health issues and is not interested in seeing me every two weeks but is interested in helping me be healthy.
