My LO had colic, gas, reflux, and having a hard time nursing or not even really nursing at all. He was on Zantac, gas drops, colic calm, you name it. I was at a loss. I found Dr. Tylor from a tongue tie support group on Facebook. Dr. Tylor was knowledgable and made me feel like she truly was concerned, and cared what was going on. She explained everything that she was going to do and even allowed me in the room while she did it. During this I had my 13 month old with me as well. She could tell how upset I was and said I could leave if I needed to which I did. While in my room one of her staff members came in and comforted me as well as turned the situation from stressful to relaxing as she laughed and played with my 13 month old. Once the procedure was done Dr. Tylor made the situation even more relaxing by saying how well he did! She brought him back in and he was great! She explained all the after care in detail and gave me resources to go to for after care as well! It's only been one day since revision and there has been a vast improvement. My two month old is nursing successfully, there has been no gas or fussiness. It was the best decision I ever made and I couldn't have done it without the honesty of Dr. Tylor. I highly recommend her! She has made a huge difference in our household and for my LO.

We will forever be grateful for the care we received from this practice. Thank you!

I've had a number of hearing tests over the years, with a number of different groups, and I know what is complex about the issue I'm dealing with... and yet, when the receptionist called to schedule me, and I asked to make sure they were going to do the right kind of testing I needed, she was annoyed that I asked questions, explained that she couldn't know the answers, refused to let me talk to anyone else, and said if I needed to ask questions I might be able to either ask my ENT (who was merely the person who referred me... if I refer you to a plumber, the plumber doesn't demand you talk to me to answer questions about their job) or I might (might) be able to ask questions of the audiologist when I showed up... but, why would I go there and waste everyone's time if they aren't even in a position to do the right kind of test? Yes: I was speaking with a receptionist; but, normally, the receptionist will either know some basics about the office or be able to refer quick questions to a tech. The combination of these factors made me feel like I was going to get railroaded into paying for a bunch of useless effort that wouldn't help. Having now gone through the negative reviews on Yelp, this seems to be consistent now (all of the positive reviews are pre-2020, and every single of the reviews since are 1 star, complaining about being railroaded due to bad information).

He agreed that I had excess wax in one ear and checked both ears. He gently removed the wax, I felt absolutely no discomfort, he checked my nose and throat.

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.
