I had a work injury that damaged both knees. I am 50 and Dr. Santoro didn't have any issues with my age when it came to replaced both knees. I had my worst knee done in Jan. then the other in May. I'm also the size of a pro football player, which other surgeons had shyied away from me in the past. Dr. Santoro had no issues with doing the surgeries and after it is said and done I'm very happy with the incisions down to the lack of pain while standing.

My husband had a left shoulder repair from Dr Santoro and he did an excellent job. His bedside manner is great and he is a very personable doctor. His staff was friendly and very professional. Would highly recommend using him along with the therapists at Totem Lake Physical Therapy.

Dr Santoro did a complete ankle rebuild on my left foot. I had previously broken bones, bone fragments, and destroyed ligaments and tendons. He repaired noted conditions and grafted in donor tissues. You could not ask for a better surgeon as my ankle is now solid. I'm still dealing with physical therapy but progress is good and I am very encouraged about its future usuage.

I had shoulder surgery with Dr Santoro and he and his staff did a fantastic job. He took the time to explain to me the situation, my options, recovery and next steps. He was very accessible, as was his staff. I reinjured my shoulder (due to an activity I shouldn't have done) and he worked with me to get an appropriate resolution. Additionally, when I went to my Physical Therapist ( not proposed by Dr Santoro's office) my PT told me that Dr Santoro was one of the best surgeons out there. -Brian

Scheduling is horrific, wrong day, wrong office, wrong Dr- I've been through it all. Office manager is not friendly & carries a condescending tone when dealing with appt mishaps caused by front desk & scheduling. Dr. Hardie, who is Dr. Santoro's PA is the only reason I kept coming back, but after meeting with Dr. Santoro for a mer 5 mins I was aware that he was not the right Dr for me. His demeanor almost had me thinking I was making up my injury. I left feeling horrible about my situation.

Very pleased with my left knee replacement, I am happy he is doing the right knee also.

Saw Dr. Santoro for evaluation of right knee pain (complex meniscus tear and more or less complete erosion of cartilage). Spent maybe 5 minutes total with me, was obviously completely unfamiliar with MRI and x-ray images, seemed disinterested to learn anything about my case and couldn't be slowed down long enough to learn anything about the patient. It's possible Dr. Santoro is a technically accomplished surgeon by I found him impossible to work with and have no intention of ever returning.

Dr. Santoro has been my Orthopedic doctor since about 2003 and he and his staff have always given me excellent care. I have had multiple procedures done, including right shoulder and left knee replacements which went extremely well. Dr. Santoro listens and then tries to find solutions to get me back to doing activities i enjoy, pain free. I could not think of a better care team to be looking after me.

He was extremely positive about getting me back to racquetball after rotator cuff surgery. My primary Dr. said to stop playing racquetball.
