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.

He was terrible! Lee telling me I was going to bleed out during C-section. He yelled at me in his office and I left crying. NEVER went back. Over two hour wait each time and he made me uncomfortable during exams, my intuition said run!

Dr Santiago saved my life and my daughters. I had a placenta eruption back during my being induced back in 2015 and was rushed to emergency c-section. He got my daughter out in time and we are both happy and healthy. For that I am forever greatful

Dr. Santoso was late for my appointment and very rude. He rushed through my visit. I got the feeling that if you’re not pregnant or wanting a hysterectomy he doesn’t want to talk to you. His office was old and dirty so I would never let him touch me. I found a cleaner and more modern Doctor thank goodness!!!!

Doctor took a long time to see me. I was in the office for about 2 hours total. Got a urine test to check for pregnancy. Had a Pap smear and breast exam. Doctor completely ignored everything I am going through including my cyst and symptoms that I’ve been having for months now like back pain, breast pain, etc. I hate that I wasted my time going to an appointment that was worthless when I was not feeling well at all. I woke up feeling like I was going to faint. Doctor said that my symptoms of my hormone levels dropping from birth control. I have been off of birth control for 10 months. That doesn’t make sense and I kept telling him it didn’t make sense. The MA also gave me a survey document on postpartum depression stating “you are either pregnant or have given birth..”. I don’t fall under either of those categories and even if I did they never told me anything about my urine results! This doctor doesn’t seem like a specialist.
