Dr Anya Consiglio, Internal Medicine, ABIM

After completing her residency at Cottage Hospital, Dr. Consiglio opened a successful private practice in Santa Barbara. After her son was born, she and her husband subsequently moved to Washington to raise a family. In Washington, she served on a hospital board of directors while working both as a physician and owner of an Internal Medicine group, providing excellent care for complex patients.

She focused on primary care issues including long-term management of chronic hypertension, diabetes and kidney disease. Dr Consiglio also enjoyed focusing on geriatrics, women’s health, and behavioral health.

While in Washington she spent much of her free time traveling with her family. They also enjoyed outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, boating and attending her son’s frequent school sporting events.

While practicing in Washington, Dr. Consiglio saw patient frustrations stemming from the formula-driven processes of insurance companies and “Big HMOs”. The limited time slots made it increasingly difficult to provide excellent care.  The standard medical system was going the wrong direction.

She ultimately decided to seek out a position within a concierge group so that she could have sufficient time to focus on each and every patient here at HCDTO.

Dr. Consiglio’s husband, Brian, is the only child of local parents here. They made the decision to return here to support and spend more time with family. Meanwhile her son, Gavin, is now attending college in San Diego.  She looks forward to caring for patients again in Montecito, Ojai and Ventura!
