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.

Doctor Desantis is the example of what a complete health care physician is suppose to be. He is very knowledgeable in an array of medical topics and has the utmost cordial and patient bedside manner. He can be very accommodating and demonstrates thinking out of the box which is what is really needed in this day and time. Thank you sir for your excellent service and care.

Dr.Desantis by far is the best doctor I have ever had... and I’ve had a lot of them. He is kind and he LISTENS! Unlike many other doctors he tries things other than jumping to medications which has been a huge plus! He explains everything to you and welcomes questions even, the ones you might think are stupid and never acts arrogant when answering them. He also has been great at keeping costs low by not ordering un-needed tests. Excellent doctor!

Best doctor I have ever had in my adult life. Listens to your needs and offers different medical, emotional & physical options for your needs rather than trying to solve everything with a note pad & a pen. He's patient, kind, and when you are his patient he is not rushing you along to get to the next one. I highly recommend him & his team. They are all great!!!

Dr. DeSantis was my grandmother's physician until her passing. His compassion and dedication to her was heart warming. After her passing I chose Dr. Desantis to become the primary care physician for the rest of my family.
