Rating: 0.00 of 5 Stars

How are star ratings for providers determined?

Star ratings are based on responses to survey questions that focus on a patient's likelihood to recommend the provider's office to family and friends as well as the provider's care, including whether the provider listened carefully, spent enough time with you, explained things in an easy-to-understand way, and seemed to know important information about your medical history. Press Ganey averages and converts all survey responses into a single star rating, with five stars being the highest.

About

  • Dr. Christiano has recently been appointed as a The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) medical examiner and has been doing second and third class medical certifications for pilots at Sansum Clinic's Occupational Medicine clinic. Dr. Christiano is one of only two physicians in Santa Barbara county authorized to do these kinds of pilot exams for the FAA. There are 3 levels of medical certification; first-class, which is all commercial pilots, second-class which includes cargo and charter pilots, and third-class, which is mainly for pilots of smaller air crafts or recreational pilots.
