Except for the fact that the Dr. could not see me on his computer monitor, (I could see him), our visit went well. Dr. Santos's visit is usually very informative and does appear to be aware of my needs. I always enjoy talking to him.

Dr Santos-Ocampo is always very pleasant and helpful. On my visits, he is always helpful in giving advice on how to manage my symptoms.


Mar 3, 2025

Dr. Santos represents a provider who is an excellent clinician, compassionate, caring, and empathetic. It is so rare to find all these qualities in a provider these days. I'm grateful he is my Rheumatologist! Thank you, Dr. Santos!


Mar 3, 2025

Very grateful to have Dr. Santos-Ocampo as my rheumatologist!


Mar 3, 2025

I have been going to Dr. Santos-Ocampo for several years now. He is a top-notch physician. I highly recommend him to other patients who may have rheumatology issues. He is warm and friendly easy to talk to and explain things thoroughly. I enjoy our meetings every three months to discuss bloodwork and any other issues that I may have developed since the last visit. He's the Best!!


Feb 28, 2025

Excellent services when you need them the most and especially when you change your appointment, you'll get the help right away. Cool and professional staff with good attitude.


Feb 28, 2025

I've been a patient of Dr. Santos-Ocampo for at least 15 years. He has always provided great care and takes the time to clearly explain how and why he treats me.


Feb 25, 2025

Very pleased with the services of the doctor and office staff. Good communication.


Feb 25, 2025

An excellent teacher & mentor always working closely with me towards a goal. Always comprehensive with visits. Reviews results of all lab & diagnostic tests & medications. I'm on a special RX that influences bone growth & needs to have a tooth extraction with a specialist dentist & will coordinate along with that dentist.


Feb 25, 2025

Dr Santos is excellent and takes the time to explain to you for easy understanding. He listens.


Feb 25, 2025

Dr. Santos is very knowledgeable and always explains all the lab tests and even writes on the sheet so I can remember. He's more like my PCP than a specialist, in the way that he covers all the things he's responsible for.


Feb 25, 2025

I am very impressed with Dr. Santos and appreciate the time he took with me. Even though he's filling in for another provider, he was attentive and addressed my concerns thoroughly. I actually prefer that he addressed my labs without me even asking. I do not get a satisfactory response regarding labs from my primary doctor.


Feb 21, 2025

Dr Santos-Ocampo treats me like family. He cares about my health and well being. I like the fact that he is so knowledgeable and make great decisions as well as respect my goals in life. Not all doctors really pay attention to their patients and he has excellent communication with me. Dr Santos-Ocampo is an asset to Straub in my opinion.


Feb 20, 2025

Dr Santos Ocampo is a wonderful rheumatologist. He's been my doctor since 2015 and he has helped me immensely with my pain . I trust Dr. Santos to diagnose my pain and I trust in the medication that he applies to my left knee for arthritic pain. I would definitely recommend Dr. Santos to my friends and family members for the right and proper support for my pain / thier pain and it's wonderful to have a physician that listens to my issues and understands it without putting me off.
