About this clinic
Dr. Daniel F. Craviotto Jr., MD, an orthopaedic surgeon in Santa Barbara, offers platelet-rich plasma therapy and NAD IV therapy alongside conventional orthopaedic care. The practice focuses on regenerative approaches to sports injuries, joint conditions, and musculoskeletal pain, with an emphasis on arthroscopic techniques and joint-preservation strategies. Patients receive individualized treatment plans that may combine orthobiologic injections with supportive therapies, tailored to the specific demands of their injury or degenerative condition. The clinic integrates regenerative modalities within a broader orthopaedic framework, serving athletes and patients seeking alternatives to joint replacement where clinically appropriate.
Dr. Craviotto is an exceptional orthopedic surgeon. He treated me 25 years ago when I was just a kid who had fractured my C6 spinous process and, in classic teenage fashion, waited four months before finally seeing a doctor. He not only took my case seriously, he allowed me to film the consultation so I could better understand what was happening. That level of patience and respect meant more than I realized at the time.
I recently rewatched that video. What stood out wasn’t just his clinical competence, but his bedside manner. Calm. Clear. Reassuring without minimizing the injury. He treated a nervous kid like he mattered.
I went on to earn my MD, so I now evaluate physicians through a very different lens. With that perspective, I can confidently say: Dr. C was excellent. Skilled, thoughtful, and genuinely present with his patient. I’m grateful for the care he gave me.

Dr. Craviotto is highly professional & an excellent surgeon with a good way about him. He performed an arthroscopic procedure on my shoulder.
I struggled with chronic pain and limited motion for months. After the surgery I am happy to report that I am finally pain free! Also, Dr. Craviotto performed a menisectomy on my damaged knee-torn meniscus from hiking. My knee is now pain free. Thanks Doc!

Dr Craviotto has been treating me for a bone spur in my shoulder. He listens well, orders appropriate testing and explains in a way I can understand. He had done surgery on several friends of mine and they have all been pleased.

Dr. Craviotto gave me a new lease on life with my new hip implant. He is an empathetic doctor, listening and understanding during our office visits and in the hospital. His skill level is excellent, proven by my fast recover from surgery. I strongly recommend seeing him if you are suffering creaky joints as I was.

My wife had both knees replaced by Dr. Craviotto and we couldn't be happier with the quality of care pre-op, the operation itself, and post-op. Dr. Craviotto is excellent and highly recommended to anyone who is looking for this type surgery.
