Dr. Miriam Farzaneh Parsa, MD

Dr. Pasta was amazing! She was kind, helpful and really helped my son with hyper mobility issues.

Dr. Parsa has been treating our 13 year old daughter for juvenile rheumatoid arthritis for 8 years. We followed her from UCLA in Los Angeles to Cottage Hospital. She has always been skilled. forthright, and compassionate. She has treated the "whole person" of my daughter, not just the arthritis symptoms. We never feel rushed with her, even at UCLA, which can be a bit of a madhouse, albeit with excellent physicians. Cottage Hospital in Goleta is a much more relaxed environment, if you can make it up there. Dr. Parsa listens closely to us and our concerns, but she is also very clear and specific as to her recommendations. My daughter, who is fearful and anxious (unsurprisingly) because of all the medical stuff she's had to deal with, trusts Dr. Parsa and is comfortable with her. I truly don't know where we'd be without her.

a very important diagnosis was overlooked, said my daughter’s pain was “all in her head” and she “sees this every day”

LOVE everything about Dr. Parsa & her staff
