In my 30 years of being an RN I have dealt with every variety of physician….from those who made me cringe to those who I highly admired. Dr. Santarelli is the latter - the “whole enchilada”!! From the very first consult regarding the invasive melanoma of my husband’s nose and cheek, Dr. Santarelli has taken the time to explain the surgical process from removal to reconstruction as well as answer every question thoroughly and allay our fears. He and his staff are very compassionate about taking care of their patients. Dr. Santarelli has always responded quickly to our calls or those of the oncologist to ensure the greatest continuity of my husband’s care. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing his skills and expertise
