Hello, I've been a patient of Dr. Mendiola for the past 2 years for my eating disorder and anxiety disorder. I was referred by a very close friend who understood my skepticism about and resentment toward seeing mental health care professionals. I've had horrible experiences with them in the past, having dealt with insensitive and unprofessional therapists and psychiatrists. But this changed when I began seeing Dr. Mendiola. I feel safe in his treatment, being able to open up about very painful events in my life. He understands the real me, and really listens to my own voice. I feel like a really matter, like a real person. He also takes the time to teach me about my medication and why I need to take them. It makes my trip from Santa Barbara most worthwhile. I have no hesitation recommending Dr. Mendiola to any of my loved ones if ever they need help.
Pros: Friendly staff, Available Parking, Nice complex
Cons: Traffic
