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.

ER visit
Took my son into the ER for a broken collar bone. Supposedly we 'saw' Dr. Santos. He never came into the room, never laid eyes on my son and never said a single word to us. Just a signature on discharge papers. Deffinatly getting a second opinion as I don't feel comfortable with the visit. Would not recommend him to anyone.

Dr Santos was the doctor for both my kids from birth through until we moved out of state. He's always had their best interests in mind while treating them. They always loved seeing him, and I trust them in his care.

My daughter saw Dr. Santos in the emergency room last week. He never examined her broken foot. He put her in a boot before examining the X-ray's. And proceeded to only tell me he didn't see a fracture. And then he left. I was later told by a nurse her diagnosis when we were brought her discharge papers. After that experience we scheduled an appointment with a specialist who immediately examined her foot and said it was definitely not a correct diagnosis. I do not recommend Dr. Santos

I have 4 boys which my oldest is 23 now. Dr. Santos started out as his physician when he was just a toddler. I have all of my kids seen by him over the years and he has always been so concerned and made sure that I got the best care needed for my kids. He even had concerns ensuring I was staying healthy. He left AI at St Francis and now I don't know what I am doing to do. They just arent the same
