Just recently moved to SI. I chose Dr. Santoro based on excellent reviews. The reviews didn't lie. So far, he is awesome. First visit, spent over half hour with my son and I. My son is a special needs child and Dr. Santoro was great with him. Second visit, I called after office hours. I was worried my son may have an ear infection. He happened to still be in the office and told me to come right in! wow! Both times, waited no more than 5min. We were also talking about the flu shot for my son and he didn't pressure me at all. He said whatever I decided to do for my son, just let him know. He is a really nice guy! Would totally recommend him. Staff is great as well!

Dr Santoro has such a great personality. My children feel very comfortable with him. My child was hospitalized and he checked in with me when he came home. The atomphere is very friendly. He never tried to push medicine when medicine was not needed. I would highly recommend him
