“I needed to get glasses ASAP for the first time since moving to LA 14 years ago and after reading the reviews and seeing how close this place was, it was a no-brainer. I'm pleased to say that it lived up to the hype.”

“OCSB is wonderful. Dr. Santizo performs a very thorough and HEALTH-conscious exam, and is an excellent teacher - explaining carefully how the eye works, eye health and prescription considerations for a variety of situations. Without insurance, cost was a concern to me and they were very good about showing me things only in my price range and discussing how the lens materials and the coatings made a difference to eyesight. My eyes and face feel much less strained and tired than they did after my last set of glasses.”

“Since the drug Optometrists use to dilate your eyes gives me bad reactions, I'd been dreading getting an eye exam. I was told that Dr. Burris at Optometry Care of Santa Barbara had a special high tech machine that'd do the looking at my retina without the dilation drug. So I made an appointment. She's pretty, friendly and oh so knowledgeable. Dr. Burris is genuinely excited by her field and made the appointment very interesting.”

“My experience at OCSB was great, I relocated recently from LA and needed a new eye doctor. I saw Dr. Burris - I'm a huge fan. She is very knowledgeable and thorough, very patient, takes time to explain things very well, very experienced. And I always appreciate when a doctor references (as she did) lifestyle and nutrition throughout the session - as most doctors seem to ignore both in favor of pharmaceutical solutions only. I highly recommend her - she also has a lovely personality and demeanor which made the visit an absolute pleasure.”

“I've been going to Dr. Santizo for 15 years and am very pleased. She has taken extra care and shown great patience with my "difficult" eyes. Dr. Santizo has also made beneficial recommendations regarding supplements that promote healthy eyes and that minimize aging related health issues.”

“Love this place. Stephanie Buriss is a fabulous optometrist and so thorough in her exams. She makes you feel very comfortable; not rushed. She explains everything to you each step of the way. The staff is very friendly. It's just a very enjoyable experience every time.”
