Just had my second hip replacement, and Dr. Birch is definitely the man about town . Preop conversations and even postop conversations he has a way of making you feel very comfortable. I work in some of the finest homes in Santa Barbara and I have multiple clients that have also been touched by Dr. Birch . Nothing to say other than he is a highly recommended Surgeon

I am a patient of Dr. Birch with severe osteoarthritis. Had a first partial knee replacement (medial) in September, 2024. Also just had the second knee done this January, 2025 (4mths apart).
Based on the recovery, I would say that Dr. Birch and his team did an amazing job with both replacements. The surgeries are done as same-day outpatient, they were performed at the SB Center for Specialized Surgery, I enjoyed being in a clinical setting without being exposed to the various potential health hazards a hospital can bring on.
Prior to the surgery, I showed up to the office appointments well prepared, with a list of several questions and all were thoroughly answered by Dr. Birch and/or his competent nurse assistants. For both surgeries, from check-in to check-out, everything went smoothly per plan.
While being prepped on the day of the surgery, the assigned team members were pleasant and efficient in making sure I had everything needed to be comfortable. Once awake after the surgery, I appreciated getting out of bed with a Physical Therapist alongside to help me take the first few steps with confidence. When back home, a qualified PT also came every second day to get the rehab process going until I could get myself to Outpatient PT.
Using the Alta patient portal to reach a member of Dr. Birch's team for any post-surgery questions was helpful.
And lastly, I would say that for "a Surgeon", Dr. Birch is easy and quite pleasant to deal with
