Patient Reviews
May 11, 2024
I've been a patient of Dr. Santarosa for several years. I started seeing him as a result of an enlarged prostate discovered by a doctor doing a required annual physical. I was recommended by a coworker. Since then I've been treated by Dr. Santarosa for the enlarged prostate, prostatitus, UTI's and elevated PSA. My surgeries include two hydrocele repairs and prostate laser surgery. All were successful with no complications and I'm doing well. Dr. Santarosa is a gifted and professional doctor and surgeon. I highly recommend him. I've found him willing to listen to my concerns and consider my opinions with regards to my treatment. After every surgery and office visit I remind Dr. Santarosa how glad I am that he's my urologist and wish him God's blessings. Also, I've found the nurses and medical assistants to be caring and professional. With regards to the office staff they've been friendly and courteous. Never a problem. Thanks Nick p. for recommending me to Doctor Santarosa !
