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.
He pretty much rebuilt my entire foot. Very extensive surgery. It went WONDERFULLY! I cannot stress this enough. After a decade I'm finally out of pain. Great bed side manner. Explained everything really well. Communicated with my wife well. I could go on and on. If you need help with your foot Dr. Santamaria should be your first choice.

Dr. Santamaria is fantastic! He was very thorough with not only diagnosing the issue but with overall well being of my son's feet. He really took the time to make sure all of our questions were answered, and his bedside manner is absolutely stellar. I can't say enough about how pleased we are with him. He and his staff are top notch!

He was super nice and took great care of us! We were here on vacation and thought I had a foot fracture. I was placed in a boot and will follow up with my doc when I get back home.

My daughter had been seeing a different podiatrist for several months while her foot was not healing. After our first visit with Dr. Santamaria she began to see healing! He is fantastic! I highly recommend him!

One of the best doctor's I have ever been to. I've been to many doctors before and they always seem so rushed to get me in and get me out. He was not, he took his time to diagnose my issue and was quite thorough. I would recommend him to any and everybody.

I have had problems with my feet my whole life and no one ever diagnosed the problems correctly until Dr. Santamaria. He knew exactly what was going on and what it would take to fix them. I'm keeping up with my grandkids at Disney now thanks to Dr. Santamaria. He cares and takes the time to get to know you and your lifestyle and will accommodate it if possible. I wish I could clone him into other fields of medicine.

Absolutely the best physician I have ever had the experience of dealing with. I can't not say enough about the man who saved me from losing my toe , following a freak accident with a lawn mower. He has treated me for over a year and has been there for everything and anything for not on me but for my family. Dr. Santamaria is beyond knowledgeable - he has a compassion for all his patients - He takes his time not only with his treatment and diagnosis , but goes out of his way to see the bigger picture to ensure all aspects of care are touched upon.

Dr Santamaria is an excellent Dr. he
was my Mom’s podiatrist and cared for her after a severe heel wound.
He is professional, competent,reassuring and has an exceptional bedside manor.
He cared for my Mom for several months. She had a huge heel wound which he treated weekly. He is very knowledgeable about ways to treat problems and gave us hope that my Mom would be ok. Her heel healed completely under his care. We are very grateful. We’re sorry he relocated to South Carolina.
