I have been to many dermatologists and this was the first time someone was knowledgeable and kind and took time to listen.

Dr Santoro was very good and his competence is the ONLY REASON why I put up with the abuse from the rest of your scheduling organization for so many months. You need to reorganize the whole office when it comes to phone answering and ability to process referrals - the current system is not just broken, it's beyond that.

I was misdiagnosed and treated for shingles awhile back by my aprn which resulted in bad stomach pain and more painful rashes. Dr Santoro accurately diagnosed bug bites and cleared it quickly with the appropriate ointment and practical advice. His compassion and medical expertise are wonderful. He's priceless. His medical staff are excellent too; my appointment was within 24hrs. Kudos to all.
