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.

Awesome Doctor!!
As always, when I see a new doctor I am extremely nervous. The minute Dr. DeSantis walked into the examination room and introduced himself I knew I was going to like him. Very friendly, down to earth. He listened to all my concerns and answered all my questions. I relaxed immediately and felt very comfortable with him. His medicaI assistant Meghan, informed me that if I ever had to call the office with any questions I could ask to speak to her which is a nice touch. I highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of a PCP.

An asset to our community!
I have been seeing Dr. Vincent DeSantis for over a year and am very impressed with his expertise and the quality of care I receive. He is incredibly knowledgeable and provides clear explanations during my visits to address concerns. He is a highly skilled professional with an equally compassionate bedside manner, making my appointments a positive experience. Dr. DeSantis genuinely cares about his patients' well-being and is committed to seeing them healthy and happy.The office is well-maintained, with prompt appointment scheduling and minimal wait time. The front desk team is friendly and respectful of patients' time, and the Phlebotomist is a kind-hearted professional.Overall, my experience from check-in to check-out is consistently positive. I always feel genuinely cared for during my visits, and I couldn't recommend Dr. DeSantis and his office more highly.A great asset to our community!

Dr. DeSantis was fine until he wasn't...
There's a fine line between 'not sugar coating' something and fear mongering. He tried pushing unnecessary medication on me 3 months postpartum and said I'd 'end up in the ICU with heart failure... who would take care of your child then?!' if I didn't start taking the medication immediately. He said a lot more on this call that was incredibly uncalled for, that I won't be sharing in a review. Was referred to a specialist who was happy I didn't start the meds, as I did not need them. Ceased care with Dr. DeSantis and a week later he took it upon himself to schedule radioactive testing at the hospital without checking in with me or the specialist handling my care.

Knowledgeable and friendly.
My visit went well, at first I was feeling kind uncomfortable due to my visit, some how I caught a rash on my right side butt along with a portion in between my legs, however, Dr. DeSantis made it so smoothly and took care me well. He prescribed an awesome cream for my rash and pills which are helping me so good. Thank you so much for everything you do.
