As a nurse, I understand the many challenges that face our healthcare system. For countless…read morereasons, I have chosen to seek care outside of the Cottage Hospital and Sansum Clinic systems. I was so excited when UCLA Health came north to Santa Barbara to challenge a careless monopoly. I was blown away when I was given the option over the phone to make a new patient appointment later that same week--versus months down the road elsewhere. After making the appointment, I could fill out all of my medical history and paperwork via MyChart prior to my arrival to make things move along more efficiently. I also received multiple reminders via text and email. Unfortunately, as with every place providing medical care, I could tell they were sorely understaffed. I saw Dr. Dennis Hughes who brought me back to the exam room, went through my entire medical/surgical history and allergies, took my vital signs (including height and weight), and thoroughly performed a physical assessment all on his own! It was honestly a one-man show and outstanding! He listened to my concerns and needs, while making me feel heard and important. I came in to my appointment fasting with the hope to have my annual blood tests done. Sure enough, I conveniently had my blood drawn on site and Dr. Hughes made a video follow-up to go over my results. The facility is new so it was very clean, though appeared to have some growing pains. I wish them the best and look forward to my future care here.

I live in Santa Monica - so it's an hour drive to see him. But as in finding a great auto mechanic, you never leave a great doctor. He's very caring and thorough, and of course in his UCLA network has many specialists to recommend (luckily all of them are in Santa Monica). He's of course very knowledgeable, being a UCLA professor. Dr. P is a gentle guy who nevertheless tells it like it is. And he responds quickly to most e-mail questions through the myuclahealth website. Highly recommended.

He is of the "old school" where he still has bedside manners and never rushes you off. He actually listens to what you have to say. He follows up, even after office hours to see how you are doing.

While the Doctor himself is personable, I would describe the staff as curt. My last interaction was the worst. I thought I would be moving out of state, so I did not pay the annual fee. After the debris flow, I postponed my move by a few months. When I called to see if he would renew my prescription anyway, I was told by a staff person, that incredulously, I hadn't been a patient for over two years! It had only been a few months. I wrote him a letter to see what he might have to say about the discrepancy, but I never received a response. My next Doctor told me I did not really need the prescription.
