Great Dr. He made everything so easy
Michael Kenly, MD, is a compassionate pain management specialist at Alta Orthopaedics, with locations in Solvang, Santa Barbara, and Oxnard, California. Dr. Kenly utilizes his medical and life knowledge to connect with his patients in order to effectively treat their pain and improve their quality of life.
Growing up in western Canada, Dr. Kenly has always felt a love for the outdoors. He believes that a fulfilling life is achieved by exploring and interacting with the world around us. His goal as an interventional pain management specialist is to improve patient function and quality of life through decreased pain.
Dr. Kenly completed his undergraduate degree in exercise and sport science at Brigham Young University in Oahu, Hawaii. Following graduation, he spent a year as a hiking guide in the Swiss Alps (where he met his future wife). He earned his medical degree from Indiana University School of Medicine before heading back out west. His postgraduate training included an internship in internal medicine and residency training in physical medicine and rehabilitation at the University of Utah. This was followed by a year of fellowship training in interventional spine care and pain management, which he completed in Atlanta, Georgia.
His primary area of focus is pain that originates from the spine. He is able to utilize many different techniques to treat his patients’ pain. He is fellowship-trained in interventional spine care and fluoroscopically guided procedures, such as epidural steroid injections, medial branch neurotomy, spinal cord stimulation/neuromodulation, and other treatments to minimize the need for medications.
Dr. Kenly believes that the most important aspect of managing pain is for his patients to understand why they hurt and be actively involved in developing a treatment plan. He takes the necessary time to discuss the problems and the different treatment options. He also performs electrodiagnostic testing such as EMG and nerve conduction studies as needed to assist in making a diagnosis.
Dr. Kenly is a Diplomate of the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and the American Board of Pain Medicine. He is a member of the International Spine Intervention Society, American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians, and North American Neuromodulation Society.
Since moving to Santa Barbara in 2010, Dr. Kenly has developed a love for sailing and is a frequent visitor to the Channel Islands. He also enjoys skiing and mountain biking with his wife and daughter when they aren’t exploring far off places from Galapagos to Cape Town.

This review has no reflection on Dr. Kindley. However, waiting to see the Dr. is little to be desired. I do realize that there are many people who need to be seen by their physician. I waited one hour and a half past my appointment.
One of the best..
On time,efficient,informative. Moving forward!
Saw Jenna for a reoccurring shoulder issue,..so glad to get a shot in the arm. If surgery is required I'm confident I'm in good hands with the whole team.
Excellent service a very pleasant young lady to administer the shot which was painless
Dr. Kenly and his staff are top-notch professionals. Polite, friendly, knowledgeable—everything you could ask for. I particularly appreciated Dr Kenly’s sense of humor, the laughter helped me relax.
Jenna was gentle, friendly and professional as well as thorough in explaining the procedure.

Dr. Kenley is an excellent physician. He takes a personal interest in his patience.
Every time I see Dr. Kenly I feel like he's a friend - always friendly and easy to talk with doesn't make me feel like he has to rush through the apt so he can get on to the next patient.
So nice and funny. I really enjoyed him. I felt listened to and very taken care of! Forthright and honest. High praise for this doc

His personality what's terrible
Dr. Kenly is the best......
He is very responsive and supportive during the appointment. However, the waiting time is always way too long. After driving an hour To get there, it’s frustration to be in time and wait another hour to see him.
