My son dislocated his knee cap on his HS graduation night. We were able to get in and see Dr. Pifer quickly. He really knew his stuff and my son was very comfortable with him. He explained everything to us both and made sure my son knew all the things to look out for to ensure he can stay active for years to come. My son said Dr. Pifer was his favorite doctor he has ever been too, and he felt like he really knew his business. He said he trusted him completely. The office staff and assistants are all amazing as well. They were able to get us in for an MRI much earlier than I was able to and they were great with explaining everything. I highly recommend Dr. Pifer. He is now our family's knee and shoulder guy!

Fastest Meniscus repair surgery ever! Arrived on my bicycle for 1 week followup. Second week skiing Whistler. Yes, required a little afternoon icing, elevating, and stationary bike but did it!

Dr Pifer performed arthroscopic surgery on me to repair two complete rotator tears and other issues.
From the first initial exam following a bad fall, through the subsequent MRI and recommendation for surgical repair (I was very anxious about the situation), Dr Pifer was professional, patient and informative.
The day of surgery he was a dream. Calming and pleasant and all went very well. I’ve had a positive outcome and physical therapy is moving along well.
My post surgical care was super - the office staff were excellent from day one. Beautiful office with little wait time and well run.
I highly recommend Dr Pifer. He is a talented surgeon that I’m grateful to for a job well done. Santa Barbara is lucky to have him.

Dr. Pifer and his team are at the top of their game. Very cutting edge with a touch of "Old School" bedside manner.
I could not have received any better care else where. From my initial consultation, to diagnosis and complete explanation (which included a hand drawing by the Dr. himself ) of my injury and consequent repair, to the operation with followup PT and final examination Dr. Pifer was with me every step of the way. If I had any questions or concerns all I had to was call him and if he was not available I would leave a message with his assistant Katie (Awesome as well) and they would get back to me ASAP. I show people the shoulder that was operated on and repaired to 100% and they cannot see any scare.
I could not be happier or more satisfied.

I tore my rotator cuff this summer and Dr. Pifer is the surgeon who helped repair my injury. My experience with him and the staff at his practice was very pleasant. In a nutshell, he is personable, has a great bedside manner, knows his stuff, and was happy to answer all my questions. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of orthopedic care.
