Excellent team working with Dr. Santa-Maria
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/15/2025
The majority of face-to-face time I spent with a care provider was with a nurse. She was excellent. I spent much less time with Dr. Santa-Maria, which is fine. I actually have no direct way to assess the quality of care he provides behind the scenes as an oncologist doing what an oncologist does since I have not yet begun actual treatment.

I like my dr. Some of these q were not relevant as I was in for a regular 6 month check up for cancer. Dr. Santa-Maria is great and always reassuring
