Interview with Scott Kozak, MD

With Ann T. Brode, CST
"I know you practiced as an 'urgent care physician' for a number of years, what inspired you to open your general medicine office in Santa Barbara?"
It's more fulfilling to practice medicine in a way that is more comfortable for me and my patients. It is a more pleasant atmosphere and people get better care.
"I know how important it is to have a medical doctor on a person's health team. And people are always asking me for a referral to a good 'regular doctor' that will respect their alternative health choices. Where do you see 'complementary modalities' as part of the health care picture?"
Diet, exercise, relaxation, nutrition and various herbs are all a part of good health. It's an equilibrium we all need. Medicine is there when we hit the rougher spots along the way.
"What do you love about your practice of medicine?"
Healing people and decreasing pain and discomfort.
