I want to say a big thank you at the dental clinic Eastside . The staff , and dentists, particularly to An honest skillful professional
Dr Christina Mendoza, is knowledgeable skillful and conservative with her treatments. I had a good talk. Many doctors want to generate revenue at the expense of the patient. Thank you again Dr for your knowledge. Dr Mendoza is not a fake and teeth in a day we see by many money driven private promoting clinics . Look at the destruction what other dentists have to do to the bone to have instant teeth . Dr Mendoza is caring and will save your teeth if possible King Arthur USA

I have had the privilege of being able to collaborate with some of the Neighborhood Clinic physicians. They are uniformly some of the most caring & dedicated physicians if have worked with in my half century of practicing medicine.

The Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics (SBNC) are my choice to receive care. Due to the excellence of care received at the Westside Clinic and Dr. Susan Lawton, cancer was detected early enough for me to not have to go through chemotherapy! I am now11 years in remission, thanks to Dr. Lawton. Over the nearly 20 years with SBNC I have been an employee, volunteer, and now a member of the Good Neighbor's club. Thank you for this opportunity to share my positive experience with SBNC.

I have volunteered at SBNC since September of 2007. Previously to that, I was the clinic manager at one of their clinics (Westside Clinic), and witnessed first hand the excellent work these dedicated individuals provide to the community.

I’ve done some video work for SBNC in the past and a few things always stuck out to me- how invested the doctors were in the care and wellbeing of their patients, how warm and kind the staff always are, and probably most importantly how the patients felt about getting excellent, compassionate healthcare. SBNC goes beyond just healthcare and offers education to their patients too, which hopefully helps prevent future health issues. Its an amazing organization with smart, dedicated, too-notch providers.

My family goes to the clinic, and everyone there has been so helpful for each of us. The level of medical care is excellent, and the service is always wonderful.

I retired after 30 years as a gerontologist. My volunteer work began at SBNC we’re for four years I not only participated but saw the staff provide complete and compassionate medical care. All the patients including the working poor, the homeless, the uninsured received personal care in a comfortable setting. I rotated through all of their locations through the city and saw the excellent care with results. Dr. Fenzi created a remarkable clinic and now on the cusp of a new clinic building. A non profit created an exceptional organization for medical care for those that frequently fall through the cracks. It’s a six star clinic as seen from a volunteer physician. Leonard Grabowski MD

The Santa Barbara Neighborhood Dental clinic does excellent work and I am very happy with the professional and cheerful service I have received. The dental work has been of top quality and done in a timely way. Even my emergency needs were met with their early hour "walk in" clinic.

SB Neighborhood Clinics have been serving needy families in low income areas all over Santa Barbara for at least 40 years, receiving little payment for their services, sometimes no payment at all from
clients with minimal income. Calvin Marble

Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics have such an amazing care team. I am both a dental and medical patient and can say first hand that the environment there is very welcoming. The front desk is full of smiles, the clinicians are very professional and really do care about my well-being and I never feel like I am being rushed in and out. They listen to my concerns and always give me good healthcare advice. Their tagline says it all: Quality Affordable Healthcare

Hmm, what can I say about the Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics? Well, to be honest, I cannot say enough about the wonderful and dedicated staff at the Neighborhood Clinics. I have been a patient of the clinics for over4 years now, I have been a patient of the Eastside Neighborhood Clinic mostly. and the Eastside Family Dental Clinic as well. All the drs at the clinic are very nice. I use to live in Santa Barbara but in the past few years moved to Ventura. I still travel to the clinics. The reason is because when I tried seeing a doctor in Ventura county he recommended many expensive procedures from a specialist. well I made the drive up to Eastside and they were able to prescribe antibiotics and all i had was a bacterial infection that disappeared within weeks with the proper medicine. The doctor took the time to ask me questions and ask me about my health and made a better diagnoses than what i was getting in Ventura. They are just very caring people that love doing what they do.

I am both a medical patient and dental patient with Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics and I must say that not only do I feel like I am getting the best care from the providers, but the staff are very professional and friendly. I almost feel like they are second family making sure I am healthy and well taken care of with whatever medical or dental procedures that I need. They really do live up to their mission giving high quality, comprehensive, affordable healthcare to all people, regardless of their ability to pay, in an environment that foster RESPECT, COMPASSION, and DIGNITY.

SBNC has 4 medical clinics and two dental clinics. The locations are from Santa Barbara, Goleta, Isla VIsta. I had gone to the ES clinic on Milpas Street and I must say that I was taken very care of. They help individuals with low or no income. They never turn anyone away. I would recommend anyone to go to any of these clinics.
