Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I feel like Dr Santamaria is ill prepared and lazy
He ordered tests that had already been done. When that was pointed out by the nurse he said they must be fine otherwise someone would’ve pushed the results to me. After seeing my wife have a seizure he suggested having her see a psychiatrist with only asking a couple of questions. I tried to contact his office directly to get more details and I was only referred back to the hospital. I would not recommend.

Used to be good
Telehealth
He used to take time and listen. The last few times, he was hurried and acted like he didn’t want to be bothered and he didn’t explain how to take the medicine. He doesn’t know the newer meds and was just in a rush. I won’t be seeing him again after 15 years of him being my doctor.
