Scott Tobis, MD 4151 Foothill Road, Santa Barbara, CA 93110

"Worst treatment ever! Came in with extreme blood in urine... Nausea and throwing up... Wouldn't give me anything for pain or nausea... Told me to go to my primary dr... Finally had CT that revealed kidney stone... After multiple attacks, and many conversations with this dr. Who did absolutely nothing.. Was told to just wait, dealt with pain for over a month until one day it was so bad I was admitted to hospital... He told me is I was admitted to the hospital he would surgically remove it... Nope, waited for me to continue having pain, giving me nothing for it.... Then finally had sugery.... Months after surgery all pain, was told I do not have another kidney stone... But I probably had a bladder disease... But didn't even test me for that... Long story short. I did have another kidney stone! He didn't remove the whole stone the first time! Idiot, and incompetent!"

"I am 80 years old and have suffered the inconvenience of benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate) for over 25 years. Recently, I read that an incision-less procedure known as Aquablation Therapy had been developed to remove the excess prostate tissue causing the problem by using robotics and an image-guided water jet. My urologist, Dr. Scott Tobis, skillfully performed this procedure to remove excess tissue from my prostate. Today I am urinating like I did when I was a teenager, and no longer is my sleep interrupted by multiple trips to the bathroom. I am fortunate to have Dr. Tobis as my urologist, and I heartily recommend Dr. Tobis to anyone suffering from an enlarged prostate."

"My experience today with Dr. Tobis was similar to three years ago when he did prostate surgery on me. Both experiences were superb. Fortunately, this time I don’t need surgery—but if I had I would have totally trusted Dr. Tobis’ judgment. He and his aide are extremely pastoral and engaging and candid. The diagnosis procedure I underwent was no fun, but was as brief and painless as it could have been. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Tobis and his staff!"

"Dr. Tobis has my utmost respect. He is competent, professional, compassionate and has an excellent bedside manner. I appreciate his deliberate and methodical approach to medicine. I also appreciate the fact that he is associated with Sansom Clinic and Cottage Health, both of which represent the best in medicine in my opinion. Highly recommended!"

"My visit could not have been better. Reception area is beautiful and staff are cordial and efficient. I waited about three minutes from check-in to being guided into an exam room. An initial ultrasound was done and about three minutes later Dr. Tobis came into the room. I appreciated his thoroughness as he asked me a series of questions. He explained the options for further diagnosis clearly. He was very personal and very professional. I highly recommend him. Check-out was quick and the next steps were described well. Greta medical care."
