In patients' words
"UCLA Health Santa Barbara Primary & Specialty Care has a 3.3 star rating with 9 reviews. ... we have found subsequent visits to be just as expensive for very simple and routine care."
— Birdeye"I’m honestly surprised by some of the other reviews. In my experience [Dr. Moftakhar] asks smart questions, [and takes the time] to walk through options in a balanced way. I never feel rushed."
— Healthgrades"Getting a prescription filled through this office is always a total shit show. Using the UCLA MyChart app they send you vague messages and you go back-and-forth for days."
