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.

Best ever gynecological experience.

Great Dr.
Dr Santoriello has been my gynecologist for several years. She listens to me and my concerns. She makes informed decisions on my care. She has never rushes and she never pushes products or treatments. She is an excellent Dr.

Pushes products, doesn't return calls
This is more about vaginal rejuvenation and other services than good medical care. And the doctor is abrasive. One appointment. Never again.

She is more interested in making money than the health and well being of the patient. She got angry and loud with me when I told her I didn't want to have a procedure done. I was never given the results of my PAP and never communicated with my primary care who referred me to her.

Dr Kathy is amazing. She has compassion for her job and genuinely cares about her patients. I would highly recommend her. I found the office staff and nurse to be cold and not friendly and out going. I will definitely return as I loved the Dr.

Dr. Kathy Santoriello is the most professional expert in gynecology you could wish for. She has the highest standard of professionalism coupled with a caring heart and provides continual creative solutions for life threatening health issues. She and her staff are warm and welcoming in every respect. I look forward to the expansion of her services that will address intimate body image concerns. She deserves a ten-star rating on a five-star scale. I cannot recommend concerns her highly enough.

This office is horrible and they don't care about patients. I had a scheduled procedure and the Dr. had an and I was on the pre-op table with an IV started when Surgical Center came in to say that she had to cancel the procedure that day BUT when my father was rushed to the ER via ambulance and I had to reschedule my appt. they still charged me the $25 cancellation fee. I paid my bill and it sat in their system and not applied to my account and they left it there as an open credit.
