    Very good
    Pleased
    Dr. Santos is an excellent physician and I feel so fortunate to be under her care. She is very knowledgeable and really listens to me when I have any concern with any health issues. If I am nervous during a visit, she is sure to speak to me in a very calming way to relax me. I am grateful that she is part of my care team and I value her highly.
    I've only had good experiences
    I have been seeing Dr. Santos for at least 10 years for my urogynecological needs. She is extremely competent and capable, and I trust her judgment and treatment implicitly. For this appointment, one year post surgery with her, I had to change the appointment twice. Once, I had a scheduling conflict. The second time, I made a mistake and put the wrong date into my phone. However, I was able to easily schedule this third appointment with no problem. The front desk staff was very professional with me when I goofed on my second scheduled appointment--and showed up a day too late! Finally, I like the new Women's Center building. It is like a Spanish hacienda, conveying a warm and not coldly clinical vibe. The parking is very easy, too. Thanks for listening.

    Biography

    Despite all the recent advances in care, there are still many women who believe health issues such as incontinence or pelvic pain are something they just have to live with. Some women mistakenly believe nothing can be done about their symptoms, or that treatment always requires surgery. Others are reluctant to talk to a doctor because of embarrassment or a belief that "it's just part of aging."

    The best part of my job is helping women understand all of the treatment options available – from new medications to simple outpatient procedures that take a matter of minutes to perform. There are so many more successful options then even 10 years ago – and every day, I have the chance to restore a woman's quality of life, often after years of symptoms and inconvenience.
