UFAI Santa Barbara Patient Testimonials

Would prefer being able to directly make appointments and get reminders through my local office rather than the outside service. A recent reminder had me starting all over as a new patient when I was established almost a year ago.

I was a previous Dr. Pengh patient and was highly disappointed I had to ‘start over.’ Dr. Johnson put me at ease right away. Kindly & patiently answered all my questions. Jessica has been helpful in getting what documents I needed to get my LOA started at work. I’ve already given Dr. Johnson’s contact info to a colleague. I deeply appreciated there quick help and flexibility in getting my surgery scheduled so it won’t interfere with our upcoming trip.

This was my first visit with Dr Johnson. I’m most grateful to have his help on a recent problem which wasn’t what my appointment was for. He’s very attentive and listens. Thank you so much, Dr Johnson!

Everything was fine about the appointment. The doctor was nice and respectful, which doesn’t always happen at Dr. appointments. He addressed my concerns. He explained things in a clear and easy to understand manner. I haven’t used the prescribed medication yet as I am concerned about side effects, but that has nothing to do with the quality of care I received at the appointment. I believe my mother is going to him at his new location pretty soon for her medi-care toenail cutting. Best, Cecily

Dr.Johnson knows the biomechanics like no other podiatrist. He is on another level. He watched me walk and told me information and was right on the mark. He loves his job. If you need orthodics, this is your doctor! I am certain he is an excellent surgeon. He really listened to me as well. Absolutely excellent.

I was very happy with my treatment. I've been to orthopedic doctors for other reasons and was given scant information and rushed through my appointments. Podiatrist Dr. Johnson took the time to show me the x-rays and explain everything thoroughly. He came up with a 5-point plan to address my ankle/foot pain that didn't involve surgery or cortisone (the seemingly routine prescription from orthopedic doctors) and now I am on my way to being pain free. I rate him 10 out of 10!

When I first started treatment with you I did not know that my insurance covered it. Your office pointed that out to me! My understanding was my need was the deciding factor in the time between treatment. I do need to come at least every 8 weeks but the secretary told-me a much longer period to satisfy the insurance company . Please check with them to see where I stand with this. Thank you for your help in this matter.

Most sincerely,
Ann Mullins

Dr. Johnson was excellent. I appreciated that he took time to listen to what I was experiencing, ran tests to help determine exactly what the problem was, and provided immediate and lasting medical treatment. I have been in pain over a year, and while some of the treatment may be short term, it has provided me with much needed relief that I can enjoy walking and hiking again.
