Dr San Antonio is an amazing doctor. He has been my grandfather’s cardiologist for over 30 years. My grandfather is almost 97 now and no doctor has played a greater part in that than Dr. Richard San Antonio. My grandfather is completely deaf and has to have everything typed out and he incredibly thorough and compassionate to him. 10 stars, 100 stars, still not enough to categorize the caliber of doctor we have here. Thank you for your time.

Dr. San Antonio may have a thousand things going on at once, but when he turns his attention to you, he makes you feel as though nothing else has any importance. I found him to be compassionate and thorough.

I just started seeing Dr. San Antonio. My first visit with him was very good. I work in Health Care (which he did not know) and can honestly say that he spent a good part of 45 minutes with me going over my entire health history and medications. He listened to my lengthy reason for being there. I never felt rushed or my concerns dismissed as I spoke. I am very happy that he is the specialist I was referred to. DH

He has too many patients at one time. Rushes through appointments.
