f you ever have to have surgery book it at Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara. Never sick a day in my life. I broke my record last week when I required emergency surgery ...I was a nincompoop and put off seeking medical care thinking I was above illness. What supreme care! No different than concierge medicine. Everybody is a star at Cottage. First class care at its finest. The surgeon, Dr. Cristina Harnsberger, saved my life ....the incisional scar is nearly undetectable! Phenonmenal work.. .....that's talent people. This surgeon did a job beyond my wildest expectations. Cant say enough good things about this talented physician! Praise the Lord! It also doesnt hurt that the food is like that of a four star hotel. Great hospital, great care, and talented doctors.
