Wait times are ridiculous. 1&1/2 past scheduled appointment. Then he doesn’t explain anything to you and tries to rush you through the appointment. When you’re asking questions he’s already going towards the door.

The Best Doctor around the Globe!!!!
Sep-2024
He himself is a 5 star rating . The man is exceptional in his field ! The degree of care offered within the establishment is mind blowing . They basically have theyre own emergency room / hospital setting on the 2nd floor !
On the other hand the oiffice was running over 1 1/2 hrs behind schedule. My time is just as important as anyone else's. Many ppl were in the lobby complaining few walked out . I travel over 45 min to have him as my specialist therefore I contunied to wait.

Dr. Santoro is a fine gentleman, respectful and kind. He listens attentively. He is a man of a few words. The women, who work with him including the nurse of 43 yrs. at St. Peter's Hospital, certified to administer the sedation, told me each step that was being taken and explained the reason for doing their procedure. Dr. Santoro did a wound follow-up visit with me and answered my questions to my satisfaction. The techs at this visit were professional and extremely helpful and provided on-going assistance.

He is wonderful. I have had Dr. Santoro for many years, and I trust him unconditionally. Wouldn't want anyone else in charge of my heart....
Mar-2024
You can't get a higher educated physical within his field as him . He is caring pulls no punches sense of humor but is strict with his patients following his guided care. This man has literally saved my life when another top cardiologist was ballified even after putting me through many test imagining photos etc he installed a recording device which showed my heart would shut off during periods of rest or sleep I was only in my late 40s .
I'm scheduled every 6 mths now haven't had a A fib in 7 mths have pacemaker installed to keep my heart beating should it drop below 50 bpm if you have sn electric issue with yours I highly recommend getting an appointment with him !
Mar-2024
Absolutely the best !
Mar-2024
Great Dr. Always enjoy my visit.
Mar-2024
Dr Santoro , is kind , compassionate and listens to my concerns , I have had two surgeries with Dr Santoro and he is highly recommended!
Mar-2024
I was not informed I was having an echo done and then after my echo, I waited for over an hour to be seen. I was then brought to a room by a very about muse who was very hard to understand. She then left me in the room for what seemed forever. Then she brought me into another room which is when I finally saw the doctor. De. Santoro was awesome but the process to get to him was absurd.
Mar-2024
Very happy with Doc.
Mar-2024
