Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital
"I've had a lot of experience with Cottage Hospital. I was disappointed by the lack of nursing care. I had a very loud roommate and was not put with another bariatric patient like I'd been promised. This was a hospital stay where Cottage missed the mark in many areas in my opinion."

David Thoman
"I had heard that Dr. Thoman could be rude and short with patients,so I was a little nervous about meeting him. I was pleasantly surprised to find him very caring and polite. He is a man who tells the facts bluntly, but I like to hear best/worst case scenarios. I did not feel rushed at all and he answered my questions I had. He did not spend a lot of time going over risks and particulars of surgery...I figured it was because he knew I'd listened to him at the seminar, read the booklet, and attended the nutrition seminars. The office staff was nice, but obviously overworked! Karen, the office manager, runs the ship and she seemed a little frazzled at my visit. I would rate Dr. Thoman a 9 on a scale of 10. After surgery I hope to increase that rating to a 10!"
