A very pleasant visit since we will no longer have to visit Dr Santos due to no mri changes in two years.
Dr. Santos has always been a very compassionate and supportive provider. I would definitely recommend him.
It went very well and fast this time.
Doc was amazing. He allowed me to share my journey and concerns with him, and literally drew and spelled out everything for me. He made sure that I was able to understand and follow along. Also gave me the opportunity to ask questions during his explanation. He reassured me that I was okay, and validated all of my concerns. I left there with more answers than questions. I was able to leave with my mind and heart at peace. I am so fortunate to be in his care! He is kind and attentive- EXCELLENT BEDSIDE MANNER. We can't ever lose him! Don't let him go anywhere.
The visit was pleasant from start to finish - I wish all doctors were this kind and helpful
Dr is thorough
Everything was amazing. Top level service!
Very professional and thoughtful.
Dr Santos-Pinheiro is always completely focused on what I'm concerned about. He pays intense attention to everything I say. He gives me confidence and hope concerning my health.
He answers all questions in a way we can understand
Dr Santos was very thorough and attentive
Very thorough patient and honest. Answered all our questions and did not rush through anything. A 10 plus in our opinion
Top-notch doctor - skilled and yet relatable. Always a pleasure to talk with.
Excellent
I have been very pleased with the care I'm receiving. Thank you so much.
I was late from my mri and that department running a bit behind but there seemed to be no problem with Dr. Santos' office. I really appreciate the care and concern he showed me during my appointment. Thanks!
Dr. Santos-Pinihiero was not just concerned about my meningioma-ectomy and the after-care, but he also has been concerned about my underlying diabetes. He is "one of the good ones!"
Very comfortable and informative
He's awesome!
Dr. Santo was so caring and helped us understand everything. I rarely ever see a Dr. That actually cared about me. I would recommend him to everything. Thank You Dr. Santo. You have a heart .
Dr. Santos always does excellent work.
I can't say enough about Dr Santos. I'm grateful for his expertise, ability to communicate and to reassure me, and his gentle humor. Even when the news is frightening, I leave with a sense of optimism and determination.
Dr Santos was superb in his care and actions to get me all I needed to make an informed decision on my next steps. He greatly exceeded my expectations!
