Dr. Santoro is a phenomenal Cardiologist. He never gave up on me even after 3 ablations failed to last. He just kept methodically working on the best way to help get me back to a normal heart rhythm. Thanks to his skill and determination, I am now able to lead a normal life for the first time in decades.
