The waiting for the doctor oftentimes is a long period of time. That being said, when I'm with the doctor, there is never a rush. There is never a hurry. I feel that I'm being heard and I feel very good about the fact that I can talk to the doctor as an individual that I'm very close with. So I understand the wait, but it's worth the wait because of how good a doctor he is.

Dr. Santa Maria is everything that is good about medical care. He cares, he listens, he shows concern, and he explains what the patient needs to know and discusses the path of care with them. If we had more doctors like Dr. Santa Maria, we'd be very lucky. He is 100 out of 10.
