There is no better surgeon in this arena than Dr. Santoro. She is a staunch advocate for her patients and is with them every step of the way. Anyone who complains about the office wait must remember that she could be delivering devastating news to a patient. She will give you as much time as you need and will not rush you. I am indebted to her forever for saving my life.
