Dr. Robert O. Santaella, MD

I work for uhc. Saw Dr santaella as a patient.
I am astounded by the office staff and the doctor!! It went smooth on my first visit! Got my answer and everything I needed to know!
Such a wonderful experience and extremely professional!

Not only did Dr. Santaella repair my unblical hernia seven years ago, but he recently saved my life!

I moved back to DFW after having lived - and having a feeding tube placed in Colorado - and not only did it fail, the hospital there did a horrible job with my care. I have Motor Neuron disease and can't lay flat, can't swallow effectively, and some other stuff.

I first went to Medical Center Denton and they basically said what the hospital in Colorado did was standard procedure.

My wife and I sat down with Dr. Santaella and explained the situation, and I was taken care of the very next day. Not awake like the other providers, not treated like a piece of meat, but a complete dedication of my particular situation - and a much improved product also.

Dr. Santaella is wonderful! Very knowledgeable, kind, and compassionate. He is a very skillful surgeon with a great bedside manner. I would highly recommend him to my friends and family if they needed to have an outpatient surgery.

Took my appendix out laparoscopically and I was walkin' around just days after. Follow-up with him was fast, to the point.. no complications or difficulties!
