        Dr. Santino is amazingly kind and explains everything in a detailed way. I was concerned with my rate of hearing loss and he brought up graphs from my last two hearing tests to show me that there was very little progression. We also talked about how my mental health can keep my medical health in overall good form. He was patient, supportive and caring. Very professional and warm. His nurse was also professional and supportive.
