Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

This one's OK in my book!
Easy to talk to. Appears to care about his patients. He explains rather than just giving you a series of medical facts. Appointments with him are more enjoyable than the usual 'doctor appointment'.

I have been treated by Dr. Golgert and can’t say enough about the outstanding treatment I received regarding my allergies. The doctor is knowledgeable, professional, a very good listener, doesn’t rush you and a great staff. Since coming to Santa Barbara 15 years ago, no one has been able to correct a problem I’ve had with my left sinus where it often was congested. She corrected the problem with one visit which allowed me to breathe properly. I highly recommend Dr. Golgert

Great interaction with the patient, explains things well. I feel that he cares, as do the staff at both locations. He and staff all helped me with personal attention and followup when I had an unexpected problem, as well as great scheduled care.
