Recently I had a heart attack and required a quintuple bypass heart surgery. I am forever grateful…read moreto Dr. Peter Baay and his team for performing an emergency surgery on me. My sincere compliments also to Martha and Sydney his Physician's Assistants. They are incredible and so easy to talk to. Thank you also to Dr. Joseph Aragon for coming in the middle of the night to attempt a stent ... and he is a new daddy now too! The nursing staff is excellent at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. I have special thanks to Ciera C. RN, Christina B. RN in Intensive Care, Cristina F. in Compton wing. I now know that nurses are angels! Cottage Hospital is excellent, and we are so lucky to have them in our neighborhood.

Oh my God we've been here going on three hours. No one's come to see me. We called ahead and said…read morethe ER said there was one person waiting now. It seems like there's a bunch of people in here. They must be sicker than me. I don't know, but I've never had to wait quite so long. No one has done anything. This is the worst ER I've ever been to ever in my life. They don't give two darns about you. Some girl said come back in the morning if you don't wanna wait because I said we've been here for so long that wasn't very nice. Do yourself a favor unless you're half dead don't come here and even if you are feeling horrible just know you're gonna have to wait and wait and wait and wait. Worst experience I've ever had.

5 star service all around for my delivery. I had twin girls by emergency c-section at 32 weeks in…read moreAugust of 2014. The nurses were incredible in the L&D department, maternity ward, and the NICU. The NICU staff is wonderful. Very kind, knowledgeable, and experienced. So many of the nurses have had 20+ years experience in the NICU. That was comforting. The Neonatologists were great as well. They always took the time to sit and chat and answer as many questions as we had. The doctors were also available by phone if we happened to miss them in the NICU. Unfortunately not all hospitals have the same environment as Cottage's NICU. The new hospital is beautiful and the food .... Holy moly. A hospital with a menu! Awesome.

Cant believe you have a female person like Jesse answering the phone!! First off she is extremely…read moreRUDE!

The staff not answering a phone call i had an accident i have to ask my family member to go in to…read morethe office to make an appointment!!!! and now they are charging $300.00 annual fee. the billing office and front office are not helpful at all. they received a rejections for the claims and asking me to call insurance. I am working for medical field they do not even try to call insurance to see what is the problem. I was waiting for my mammogram result they said Dr is busy i was so anxious and start to cry i was waiting for few days , then they said you need to make an phone call appointment after few days waiting I made an Appointment to DR read my mammogram result. I do not mind pay for that but the way they handling patient care is very unprofessional.

I was assigned to this medical group and scheduled four months out for a physical. I asked to be…read moreplaced on a cancellation list in hopes of being seen sooner. Nearly three months later, I called to check my position on the cancellation list and to confirm my appointment date so I could complete the required electronic forms (which couldn't be done without that date). I was on hold for over 10 minutes before being disconnected, then waited another 5 minutes when I called back. When I finally reached the new patient intake coordinator, I mentioned that it would have been helpful if the appointment date had been included in the email so I wouldn't need to call to confirm. Instead of addressing the issue, she became defensive, explaining how she was the only person in that role/ department. I told her I understood but felt their processes could improve and lessen the frustration. When I asked where I was on the cancellation list, she responded in a condescending manner, telling me they had many patients and that I wasn't their only one. I explained that I was aware of their multiple locations and providers and that I'd be happy to see any provider, of any gender, if it meant being seen sooner. Despite that, she continued to give reasons why it wasn't possible to move my appointment. I did finally drag out of her that I was third on the list in which I said there was hope. I thanked her and ended the call. To my surprise, she called me back in what felt like a passive-aggressive manner, asking why I had hung up on her. I told her I had thanked her and was finished speaking. She was upset that I didn't say good bye but instead said thank you and hung up. She commented on my tone, and I told her I didn't appreciate her manner toward me and that I was matching her energy at this point. The conversation escalated, and admittedly, I did say the f word once out of frustration because she had called back only to continue the conflict rather than help. She then stated she would be speaking with management to revoke my ability to be seen at their practice. I said I understood and would also like to speak with management. About a week later, I received a letter stating I had been removed as a patient and would need to be reassigned elsewhere. After reading reviews on Yelp and other sites, I noticed a pattern of similar experiences. In the end, they probably did me a favor, but the lack of professionalism, empathy, and accountability from their intake staff was incredibly disappointing and reflects poorly on how this medical group treats patients. I don't generally leave reviews but this was unethical and very disappointing.
