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's the best
He's on time, prepared, listens. He is extremely knowledgeable. I have been to specialist who have been no help, then consulted with Dr. Santoscoy. Dr. Santoscoy had the answer. Amazing!!

Questionable Practices
Telehealth
Unprofessional, unethical, bordering on possible malpractice: office prescribed a 3 week trial medication, prior to the end of the trial requested to make contact with office if positive response from medication per ARNP under Santoscoy. Per office staff Santoscoy intercepted message to ARNP and refused to send in refills. This medication is supposed to be tapered off or will cause numerous experienced side effects. Was advised by office staff he is the doctor. Requested a call back from doctor and or clinical Manager. After no return call, attempted to call office again to be placed on hold numerous times, unable to speak to anyone. In the meantime I was forced stop said medication cold turkey negatively impacting my overall health due to a doctors decision to assert his MD status over the compassionate and professional care of the ARNP.

Listens, caring, honest, direct!!
Dr. Santoscoy was my wife & my PCP when he was at BayCare North as a very young physician. He was fantastic then; and he relocated to Wesley Chapel and Florida Medical Clinic. When we relocated to East Pasco we reconnected with him. He is still that fantastic physician-just not so young!! Excellent support staff and Dr. Santoscoy is still that caring, honest person who LISTENS!! Difficult to get an appointment because he is so good. Plan ahead!!

Staff Observation
Dr. Rene Santoscoy, is an outstanding doctor and human being. Unfortunately, he is surrounded by staff that is NOT professional at all. I received a phone call asking me to reschedule an appointment I had never canceled. Still, instead of believing me, the office staff and team lead refused to see me today and asked me to go to emergency care or reschedule my appointment. With sadness and after many years of seeing this doctor, I am saying goodbye to one of the best doctors in town because I don’t want to be treated anymore the way I was treated today by his staff. I wish you the best, Dr. Santoscoy!

This was a semi-annual visit to Dr. Santoscoy for my husband and I, Margaret and William Richardson. Dr. Santoscoy is thorough and organized; he listens (very important) and weighs the input of the patient which is extremely appreciated. We have been seeing Dr. Santoscoy for over six years and have been very happy with his treatment and advice.

It is very difficult to get an appointment once you are an established patient. Dr Santoscoy is a fine doctor but the staff at FMC are rude and sometimes prevent you from seeing the doctor. He says, "Call me anytime." But, when you do, the scheduler says, "You have to wait two weeks."

Recently relocated from New York as a retired Medical Attending at NYU and have since established with Dr. Santoscoy from a referral by my neighbor, I could not be happier or more impressed. He has a great bedside manner and his clinical skills and medical approach is top notch. He really listens and respects my input on my care. He has a great approach in managing a Patient and not treating a disease a skill which takes many physicians years to accomplish. Very complete physical exam.

Orders the wrong tests, tries to act like he knows what he is talking about even when you have proof on paper saying otherwise, only seems to know basic care. Anything complex forget it. Has an automated system call about labs even if you are out of range. Tries to contradict your research and knowledge. I don't see a reason to see him unless you need a referral.

When a Dr. says the words "I don't know" instead of continuing to dig and find out what your issue is even after specialists who do nothing pretty much giving up that's a sign it's time to move on. Dr. Santoscoy is nice, but I have no idea if FL Medical Clinic prevents him from doing a job or he just wants to take the easy routes and not deal with difficult things. One thing I'm learning with FL Medical Clinic doctors is they don't seem to like to treat people. Just pawn on on the next Dr..

Nice bed side manner however clueless to anything medical from my personal experience. Just refers out or tries to give you medication to mask your symptoms. When he doesn't know what your problem is he just makes up some excuse. Something I've been finding out about most doctors work fl medical clinic. Also as soon as your times up he rushes you out. I don't feel he is a good doctor at all.

I think Dr Santoscoy is a fine young physician. However, I believe he needs to remove himself from Florida Medical Clinic, move to another, and obtain his own staff. The people he is working with I believe are destroying his credibility. The man is a fine physician! Rene....get out of there. Do your own thing, you are one heck of a doctor. Stop associating yourself with BS. Please note...my recommendation level is low.....not because of him, but because of FMC.
