Frequently Asked Questions
Answers for the questions every patient asks before becoming part of the practice.
If you don’t see your question here, reach out directly — Dr. Drake personally responds to every inquiry. Contact us or call (805) 265-0313.
Do you accept insurance?
We’re a concierge OB/GYN practice — patients pay a membership fee that covers most direct care. We provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement on covered services. Contact us at hello@melissadrakeobgyn.com to discuss your specific situation.
What is concierge care?
An extended-time, high-access medical relationship — longer appointments, direct physician communication, 24/7 on-call availability, and in-home visits when appropriate. You have a real relationship with Dr. Drake, not a chart number.
Do you offer in-home visits?
Yes. In-home visits are a core part of our concierge service for patients in Santa Barbara, Montecito, Hope Ranch, and Summerland — and a meaningful differentiator from traditional OB/GYN care.
What areas do you serve?
Santa Barbara, Montecito, Hope Ranch, Summerland, and surrounding communities. Dr. Drake provides both office visits at 427 W Pueblo Street and in-home visits throughout these areas.
