Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Outstanding!
Friendly, polite and very positive with the patient. Dr Santiago does not hesitate to explore different approaches to deliver the best possible treatment for the patient.

Dr. Santiago is a blessing! She is a rare gem. Dr. Santiago is professional,compassionate, very knowledgeable and an excellent listener. Although her popularity keeps her busy she always takes the time to listen to my concerns. She throughly explains test results, treatment plans, and alternatives. She always asks if she has addressed my concerns and if there is anything else we might not have covered. I have complete confidence in her. I've already recommended her to friends & family.
