I seek to listen and understand. To cure if we can; and treat for comfort if we can't. To care, always.

Dr Tomas Very helpful answered all questions I asked and took action to provide me support needed from other sources.
Wonderful experience and concern about my priblemst
This was my first office visit with pulmonologist Dr. Santo Tomas & first encounter with the Froedtert-MCW health system. My Aurora pulmonologist retired and Dr. Santo Tomas was "suggested" as a highly qualified physician which agreed with my independent prior research. Dr. Santo Tomas had detailed understanding of my background and we discussed appropriate medications & doses going forward. He thankfully realized that dosage was low/inappropriate for a key medication I had just started days before the office visit. I feel very confident that Dr. Santo Tomas will help address some of the issues I have been experiencing and improve my health.
Dr. Santo Tomas is monitoring me very carefully for my lung issues. He is thorough and very good at seeing the whole picture to best guide my treatment.
First visit was extremely satisfying. Tests were set up and initial treatment was established
Dr. Tomas is great all around. I always ask lots of questions and he listens and answers. He is very patient with me. I talk a lot.
A very smooth process!

Very pleased
Dr. Thomas was a knowledgeable and kind doctor to work with. We came to a mutual understanding of my overall health in this area and have concluded our visits. It was a pleasure to work with him.
Dr Tomas is a very thorough DR, he explains everything and suggests more testing to see if more could be done.
Dr Santo Tomas paid attention to my previous hospitalization and my concerns, and worked with me to develop a plan. Since we are not generally Froedtert patients Dr Santo Tomas left it to us to continue under his care or follow up with a Prohealth pulmonologist. We were very comfortable with Dr Santo Tomas and after consulting with our primary care doctor we are choosing to stay with Froedtert for this concern, following his suggestions.
Dr Linus Santo-Tomas is EXCELLENT with great bedside manner . I wish he could follow me to my next location.
Dr. Tomas was very concerned and explained all my issues clearly and a level I understood. The staff from check - in to just before the doctor entered was outstanding. I also wanted to address the help given once I entered the hospital from parking- excellent! People all over the hallways to direct us who are not familiar with such a big hospital.
Very happy with Dr Tomas
Received my normal thorough professional care. Totally satisfied with all aspects of my visit.
It's wonderful to have a Dr. That seems to care and connects with my other specialist to do things to help me!
