Smith to be an outstandingly kind, capable, and brilliant physician long before she ever operated on my knee.

Amazing result from Hip Replacement. Happy all the way around with staff and surgeon.read more

Front desk staff is horrible. Zero accountability for their mistakes and zero compassion. When I…read morecalled to schedule my appointment for shoulder surgery consultation they told me my appt was at 10:30 and to come in at 10. I got there even earlier at 9:50 and checked in. I drove over an hour to get here. They gave me an iPad to update my info and to sign forms. While I was finishing up at 10:20, they told me they have to reschedule my appt that I should've been there at 9:30 to fill out forms. I told them, no when I scheduled the appt I was told to come in at 10am and my appt would be at 10:30. The front desk staff didn't care and tried to argue with me about it. This is very frustrating and angers me because I was very adamant on the phone when I scheduled that I can't come in before 10am because I'm disabled and have a lot of health issues and live far away so there was no way I'd be able to get there before then. Me and the lady on the phone literally had a whole conversation about it! The front desk staff didn't care. They took zero responsibility for their mistakes. Which sucks for them because they would've made a lot of money doing my shoulder surgery. I will be taking my business elsewhere! I can't express enough, do not go there! After my dealings with them today I am seriously considering finding a lawyer for medical malpractice because of how much they screwed up my ankle I had surgery on with their Santa Maria office previously. I now have CRPS in my ankle and still not able to walk on it almost two years later because the PA didn't believe my X-rays or listen to how much pain I was in. I tore 6 ligaments and separated my leg bones. I shouldn't have been walking and should've had surgery right away! But instead they sent me to physical therapy for 16 weeks which was pure torture. The physical therapy literally had to go to them to tell them they need to order an mri because this isn't ethical. Right after MRI they realized their screw up and I had surgery right away. But because they screwed up and waited so long I now have nerve damage and CRPS in my ankle and am in constant pain 24/7. So please whatever you do, do not go here! They are so horrible. They don't care about patients at all!

The secretary was very rude. Made an appointment with Dr. Moelleken and explained what we were…read morelooking for and even told them it would be out of our personal pocket. No insurance. They had agreed to the appointment and then 2 weeks later, the day before the appointment they canceled. We called to ask why and they were being very shady. Making excuses. It was almost as if they were scared of something. I've heard plenty of rumors that certain doctors talk to each other and I feel like this was one of those situations. I'm guessing Dr. Moelleken didn't want to "step on anybody's toes." Don't waste your time with them.

But I can't give them such a good rating now! Their service has really gone downhill from the standpoint of dependability on follow through. This also applies at least in part to the Santa Barbara surgery center. Their attentiveness and attention to details now leaves a good deal to be desired as compared with years past. Not exactly what I term very "Professional." It's like their plate is overly full. I'm in hopes something will be done to raise their standards back to what it previously was!! It's needed!

Incompetence and Snowflakes…read more What happened to this place??? I saw a doctor here a few years ago and had a completely pleasant and professional experience. I fractured my scapula a couple of weeks ago, x-rays in the ER and a referral to CCO. I called CCO the next day to schedule an appointment, got voicemail, so I left the details and asked for a call back. Called again each of the next two days, left messages, and waited for a callback. Nothing. By Thursday, I called my primary, asked for a PT referral (which they sent the same day) and went to PT the next day to deal with all the pain and muscle stiffness. PT noticed that the ER referred me to the spine guy at CCO, not the shoulder guy. So on the way home, I stopped by CCO with my ER referral paperwork from Monday , and asked to set an appointment with their shoulder specialist. The nice lady behind the desk, said she understood why I'd want to see the shoulder guy but had to get the spine guy to agree that the shoulder guy was the right specialist to see me, and assured me they'd be back in touch shortly. For a minute, I thought she was saying I could wait there in the lobby while she got that approval. It wasn't until Thursday the next week that I got the call to set an appointment... with the Physician's Assistant... in a week. I told the lady on the phone that I didn't see the point in seeing a PA after 3 weeks with the injury, and that I wanted to see the shoulder physician. Confused, she asked whether I wanted the appointment or not. I clarified that I didn't see the point in seeing a PA 3 weeks after my injury, and that while they'd been "dickin' around with their internal process trying to get me in", I'd already seen my primary, had 2 PT sessions, and one with my Rolfer / Massage therapist. As I was finishing that sentence, she said my language was unacceptable and hung up. To CCO, I'm sorry for saying "dickin' around". For the snowflake on the phone and for the management over there, please expect that injured patients trying to get acute care might be frustrated when it takes you two weeks to do something that should take 10 minutes. Your website says "Dedicated to High - Quality Care". Pretty please, run your business like you mean that...

This review is specifically for Dr. Dusch who specializes in hands, wrists and elbows. This is not…read morean endorsement for the entire practice. I had been to one doctor and one PA at Central Coast Orthopedics, had an x-ray, an MRI, been to 2 PT sessions and my tennis elbow wasn't any better. I was told that I needed to see a specialist that treated elbows and the closest was in Santa Barbara. I googled and found that Dr. Dusch specializes in hands, wrists and elbows right here in SLO. I was able to get in right away, she took care of the immediate pain that was waking me up at night and sent me to a PT specializing in hands and elbows. The PT treatment was very different from the first place I was referred to. I am confident that I am on the track to healing and can't thank Dr. Dusch enough.
