Amazing doctor. He did my dad's open heart surgery and has taken care of him since the surgery. He has great bedside manner, is caring, and knowledgeable. He takes time to explain and doesn't rush. Santa Barbara is lucky to have such a competent person. His approach is least-to-most invasive and he is optimistic and encouraging. Without reservation, I would highly recommend him.
