Ive been having sinus problems for a few years now. I had a ballon sinuplasty with Dr. Alavi and feel great. Dr. Alavi and his staff are amazing. They are all very nice. The office is clean and wait times are almost non-existent. Very few times do I feel the need to write a review, but they all deserve the compliments!

Wow. What an incredible doctor. I went to his new (beautiful) office in Santa Barbara to see him for some recurring ear infections. He was clear, thorough and talked to me in terms I could understand instead of talking to me like I was a doctor. I appreciated that. He came up with a plan of action, I followed it and I havent had an ear infection since. He has even brought a new doctor into his practice. Dr. Culver is just as amazing. Its good that their practice has options to see different doctors. It means less wait time to get an appointment. GO SEE THEM!

The staff was extremely nice and great customer service. Clean office space the Dr was very thorough! Thanks for being so wonderful!

Dr. Stephanie Culver is the best ENT doctor specialist in Santa Barbara. Had chronic sinus infections and sinusitis and she was able to quickly diagnose me and then recommend Balloon Sinuplasty. The procedure was in office and took less than an hour and I was able to breathe again wihtin 2 days and back to work. Thank you so much!!!

Quick and easy appointment time. Saw Dr. Culver. very professional ENT office and I highly recommend them.

Dr. Alavi is a very caring ENT. He really takes the time to go through all the options with you. He helped me understand why I was having chronic sinusitis and I hope to have the balloon sinus procedure done with him very soon. It can be done in his Ventura office and is very non-invasive with little or no down time. His staff is amazing as well!

This facility is brand new and located in the upper hills of the suburban wealthy Santa Barbara area. Though the beauty of the office is spectacular, the staff is not. When I initially made the appointment, an office assistant immediately informed me that if my deductible was not meet then they would bill me &250.00. This was not only rude, but it expressed the practices true goal of making a profit above providing quality care. The front office assistants made insurance approval a fiasco even when I arrived and my doctor faxed a referral six times. The doctor, Dr. Alavi, is extremely knowledgeable, but after only a five minuet consultation, he deemed that I would need to schedule a separate appointment for a much needed ear tube removal. As the ear was infected, it needed urgent removal, but Dr. Alavi could only schedule two weeks after the consultation meeting. Removing an ear tube is like removing a splinter for ENTS, so I can only assume the extra appointment was for more money. When scheduling the future appointment, the front office proceeded to tell me that he only conducted procedures in the morning. When my other ENT put the tube in a year before, the procedure did not require a separate appointment. Even though I scheduled the appointment, I later decided to cancel due to having uncomfortable feelings about the office visit. However, Every time I called the office to cancel, the line was always busy. It kinda seemed like a scam to me as I was not able to cancel 24 hours prior to the appointment and being charged a no-show fee. In conclusion, there are many ENTs in the Santa Barbara, and so I would not recommend anyone to stop on by and give this place a try.

Great office support; Very knowledgeable, skillful and friendly doctor. I recommend Dr. Alavi to anyyone with ear, nose or throat problems.

I had Surfers ears after swimming and surfing for the majority of my life. After time my right ear was completely blocked. Water would completely be stuck in my ear, which was the most annoying experience.When I first walked into the office, I immediately felt comfortable and the décor was beautiful. It didnt really look like a doctors office at all. It seems like the pay an everlasting attention to detail. Needless to say the office was immaculateThe staff that works for Dr. Alavi is extremely friendly, both at the hospital where the surgery was performed and in the office. They were able to have the authorization for the surgery so fast. I believe it only took them a week to have to procedure authorized, where for previous surgeries that I had, I felt like I was waiting an eternity. I would personally give Koodos to Staff. I really appreciate the amount of care they put into my surgeryDr. Alavi knows what he is doing in the ENT world. I had Surfers ear surgery with Dr. Alavi. Because of Dr. Alavi and the amazing work that he does, I am now able to continue surfing freely with-out the discomfort that is experienced with Surfers ear.I recommend Dr. Alavi, and his amazing staff. His experience is unbeatable. The people of Santa Barbara are lucky to have access to an ENT like Dr. Alavi.
