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.

WOW! Dr. Caleb Thompson is fantastic! Great listener, probes for more info to get better clarification, understanding. Great doctor "Bedside manner." Best of all he was not distracted as most doctors are to get thru current patient's needs so as to get to the next patients. I feel that all my questions and concerns were very adequately addressed. For the 1st time in a long time I felt very confident, comfortable, informed, and positive about the quality of my visit, the advice I got and the "plan of attack /action" he's suggesting and why. I left feeling fantastic and confident, positive about our game plan that he's recommending and most importantly why its happening per his skill, training and wisdom. He's definitely a "Keeper" and an excellent "trainer" for up & coming doctors; perhaps the seasoned ones too!

Very communicative and patient. He's personable and takes the time to answer questions. My father is going to have a procedure and Dr. Thompson was very clear about what to expect. I also appreciate that Dr. Thompson spoke directly to my father and not me out of respect to him.

Excellent care
Dr Thompson was cardiologist after my coronary event and he performed an angioplasty and cleared my right artery of a 90 % blockage and referred me to Dr Teirstein do to the left artery at Scripps. I appreciate everything Dr THOMPSON DID FOR ME. He was also present at Scripps when the angioplasty was done there.

It is now 6/17 and I am back to my doing my regular routines full workouts and caring for my family. The staff is absolutely amazing as well from check in to back office. I have since referred many family and friends do Dr Thompson.

I really like Dr. Thompson. I have never waited longer than 10 minutes to see him, he doesn't rush me in and out either. He explains things in great detail and allows me to ask as many questions as I need to. The medical professionals at Memorial hospital appear to hold him in high regard as well. Dr. Thompson's staff is wonderful, very helpful. I highly recommend him.

Dr Thompson is an amazing young doctor. He takes the time to ask questions, find history and explain clearly each step of the procedures. He saved my life and I don't think he will ever know the immense respect and gratitude I will forever have for him and the top notch care and compassion I received. Truly an amazing doctor that I was fortunate to have on that scarey October morning. God bless you Dr. Thompson, you truly are a gift to medicine and Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital.
