Patient Reviews
Apr 25, 2020
I am a healthcare provider myself and would trust no one else but Dr Santoro for my gastroenterology treatments. I have had about 6 colonoscopies and 2 endoscopes and every one of them was done professionally and gently. He and his staff are of the highest character and professionalism and I’ve always felt that they care about me and take my health very seriously. I give him my highest recommendation.
