I was misdiagnosed and treated for shingles awhile back by my aprn which resulted in bad stomach pain and more painful rashes. Dr Santoro accurately diagnosed bug bites and cleared it quickly with the appropriate ointment and practical advice. His compassion and medical expertise are wonderful. He's priceless. His medical staff are excellent too; my appointment was within 24hrs. Kudos to all.
