Dr. Santos saved my life. I have not found any surgeon more compassionate, understanding, trained and educated like him. He has an amazing technical skills, great bedside manner and compassion. I heard he moved to Lubbock, Texas. Lubbock and Texas Tech University is very fortunate to have him in their community and institution. I highly recommend him to take care of any of my family members.
