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.

Very personable soctor

Dr. Santomauro is one of the BEST!
Dr. Santomauro takes the time to listen and answer all my questions. I am comfortable asking him any questions about my surgery and recovery. It is clear that he remembers me and knows my history.

Dr. Santomauro was kind enough to squeeze me into his busy schedule to hopefully prevent further problems with a reoccurring kidney cyst. He knew my case when we met, so it was easy to discuss the options in a timely manner and prepare for surgery. His staff was very kind also, I cant say enough for Dr. Sevilla, Dr.Santomauro and the Genesis team. Thank you.

Awesome dr!
I met Dr Santomauro at Sharp Memorial due to a consultation for my mother. He was extremely compassionate towards my mom, who has cognitive decline. His manners never changed when we had an office visit. I will recommend Dr Santomauro 100% to anyone. Thank you Dr Santomauro!
