Try Dr. Giovanelli in Santa Barbara.
I doubt there is anyone more clinically critical and judgmental (in a good way) of MD's, etc. than I. I am a retired nurse with 45 years in. I have TVH and I have NEVER had an issue with my care. Dr. G. is smart, bright,considerate and responsive in every way. If you get an appointment with her, you see her. Of course, if you are calling and she is not able to take you that day or her schedule doesn't permit, you see a partner in the system. Again, my husband and I have both had super care. I had a neck fusion and he had 2 knees replaced. Both of us had great care and no nonsense. Reality dictates that, unless solo or 1 to 2 partners, you may have to see other docs sometimes. However, Dr. Giovanelli is OUR PRIMARY doc and ALWAYS follows up with us. She cares. The staff is also wonderful.
Best of luck to you in your search. Give her a try if you will.
