Medical Clinics in Santa Barbara

“So blessed to have Dr. Kovacs as my doctor. He makes a difficult topic approachable and normal (which it is, but…) It is a comfort to be cared for by him. Just a very nice person.“

“On three different occasions, biopsies of my skin by my dermatologist revealed the need for Moh’s surgery. My dermatologist referred me to Dr. Roberta Sengelmann of the Santa Barbara Skin Institute each time. Prior to each surgery, the physician’s assistant informed me about what to expect and the details of each surgery. Dr. Roberta Sengelmann performed all of the Moh’s surgeries supported by her team. Dr. Sengelmann is a highly qualified, skilled surgeon who is also kind, gentle and communicative. We became good friends in the course of my treatments.

Not only was Dr. Sengelmann’s treatment outstanding, her whole team worked seamlessly together to care for me. Each time I visited the Skin Institute, Dr. Sengelmann’s team warmly welcomed me, informed about what I needed to know, inspired confidence in the process and outcome, and educated me about post-surgical care and procedures. The team’s light-hearted encouragement and genuine delight in positive outcomes comforted and lifted my spirits. I highly recommend Dr. Roberta and her whole team.“

“My toddler recently had surgery at cottage children medical center and I just want to say the staff was amazing the drs and nurses took the time and patience to answer all our questions. And they way our nurses especially nurse Carissa who treated our daughter and went above and beyond to make sure she was happy and not in pain. I just want to say Thank you !“

“We’ve had the privilege of being patients of Dr. Santacrose since he started at Children’s Medical. From newborn checks in the hospital, circumcisions, yearly check ins, telemed calls, ear infections and everything in between you can not find anyone better.
We recently had a scary unknown when our 2 year at the time broke out in a bruise like rash. Dr. Santacrose exhausted every option and asked for multiple other opinions to confirm what he already knew. Luckily, with his help she’s doing well and living a healthy life! He called to check in with us multiple times, during his already hectic day! We’re so grateful for Dr. Santacrose!!“

“The entire staff is the BEST-caring and attentive. During my visits and treatments, my questions were always answered with consideration based on current research & what is best for my quality of life. Grateful for the entire SB UCLA hematology/ oncology team helping me to become and stay cancer free.“
