“Dr. Greaney is a wonderful, caring, helpful and life-saving professional. We are so lucky to have him here in Santa Barbara. Dr. Greaney made me feel at ease and answered all my questions. He is a human being that cares; thank God he was my surgeon. I had heard he was wonderful from the entire community. ”
“I'm writing to say a few words about how wonderful Camp Wheez has been for my two twin girls. Camp Wheez was a busy week filled with crafts, games, drama, and yes, learning about their asthma and how to deal with it. They LOVED camp, and begged to return. I was and continue to be blown away by the generosity of the doctors, nurses and others who volunteered their time and effort to provide a wonderful, fun, and educational week of camp for these kids.”
“I think everyone remembers the exact day, if they hear the words, "you have diabetes". For me, it was July 31, 2006. Even though my grandmother and mother both had diabetes, I didn't know much about it and didn't know what to do. I immediately made an appointment with a diabetes educator and I met with her that day. That first meeting changed everything. She asked me what I thought of when I heard the word diabetes and I started to cry. I knew my grandmother had died from complications with the disease and my mother was insulin dependent, had toe amputations and severe vision and neuropathy problems. I was terrified and realized I didn't have a clue about what to do. She took the time to listen to me and then began the process of putting me on a road to success. I learned how to test, read food labels and best of all, felt connected to the help I needed. I quickly signed up for the Diabetes Essentials and Nutrition classes and learned so much. I stopped being so afraid and felt empowered to take charge of my life. I read all the materials and continued to do research and ask questions. I started walking and was soon up to 5 miles a day. After 9 months, I had lost 55 pounds. My husband was very supportive and attended the classes with me. He joked that he had "diabetes by association" and was eating well and exercising with me. The diabetic educators were invaluable to me. Thank you.”
“I had a bone density with Farrah and a mammogram with Lisa. Both of them were so knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. I would never go to any other place since we have respectful, hard working, knowledgeable people like Farrah and Lisa at Sansum. Thanks to both of them. Awesome, great service.”
“Before I travelled abroad, Dr. Scully provided me with my own packet of printed information with written information specific to the country I was going to, along with maps delineating malaria risk areas, and pre-travel check lists of useful supplies. ”
“I had Gastric Bypass Surgery by Dr. Zerey and a hysterectomy by Dr. Raphael. Both procedures went very well. I received excellent care by both doctors and their staff. Your clinic is very caring in making sure I was taken care of. I am very blessed to have Sansum in my life.”
