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.

So far so good with my experience with Dr Santora Jr. I was seen in Butler office and it was a great experience.

I have been a patient of Dr. Santoras for over 10 yr. due to my diabetes. In every visit to his office I have been treated with the upmost professionalism, skill, and friendliness by Dr. Santora and his entire staff. The diagnosis has always been explained in detail and easily understood. AIO will always be highly recommended by me with highest grades available. Thank You, Dr. Santora & staff !

Dr. Santora recently performed my Lasik surgery. Everything from the courtesy and professional behavior of the office staff to the painless, successful surgery went without a glitch. I would recommend AIO to anyone looking for any kind of eye surgery. I was very impressed from start to finish!

Dr Santora performed my Lasik surgery in 2015. It was one of the best choices I ever made. He explained the process and made me feel completely comfortable even though I am the worry wart type. I can still see better now at 43 years of than I ever have.

Dr Santora was great. He made me very comfortable and explained the process well. The surgery was flawless and I am able to see better than ever before. My mother works at an Eye Care center who recommends him and it was well worth it. I would feel 100 percent comfortable recommending him to anyone.

Dr. Santora is a phenomenal eye surgeon. He performed LASIK surgery on my eyes July 2017 and I haven't been able to see this well since I was a child. My vision was terrible prior to the surgery. It was amazing to wake up the next day and be able to see clearly!! I have and will definitely recommend him to family and friends. The surgery was painless and the optometrist performing my follow-up care stated, "Dr. Santora did a beautiful job". I am so grateful for the gift of sight!!!!
