Dr. Santini went above and beyond what is reasonable to be expected. I appreciate her kindness, compassion, and respect; She was thorough in listening to my concerns, helped me to understand the possible underlying problems, and made referrals to further investigation by other specialists. So far I have received appointment calls from two other clinics (out of three). Dr. Santini also explained thoroughly a newly FDA approved procedure for which I might be a good candidate once it is available early next year. I feel fortunate to be a patient under her care, as I have utter confidence in her.
SHC Patient, Sep 2016

SHC Patient, Feb 2016
I feel fortunate to have been referred to Doctor Santini.
SHC Patient, Feb 2016
Care provider answered questions clearly and honestly.
SHC Patient, Feb 2016
Dr. Santini is brilliant, friendly & accessible. I have recommended her to my friends. For 4 years I had horrible insomnia, which over 12 doctors could not fix, they included 2 movement disorder specialists at UCSF. Dr. Santini immediately figured out what was going on & now I can sleep. Also, even though she (unfortunately) is not my doctor anymore, she still helped me and most generously spoke to me over the phone for at least 15 minutes to help me with my orthostatic hypotension problem.
SHC Patient, Feb 2016
We are very happy to have Dr. Santini work with us on my condition.
SHC Patient, Feb 2016
Wonderful - absolutely have total confidence in Dr. Santini.
SHC Patient, Jan 2016
Dr. Santini is the perfect "fit" in neurology. She is kind and friendly and puts people at ease. Neuro patients sometimes have symptoms that make them feel insecure about themselves. Dr. Santini is very reassuring. I would highly recommend her to a neuro patient.
SHC Patient, Dec 2015
I loved my care provider.
SHC Patient, Dec 2015

SHC Patient, May 2015
Dr. Santini & her assistant were so helpful & very pleasant. I was very happy with my visit.
SHC Patient, May 2015
I was seen primarily by the resident. I saw Dr. Santini for less than 10 minutes total. While, I admit I was nervous and tired, I felt rushed to ask any questions, like she had somewhere else she had to be. She never once mentioned the research I did about the diagnosis she told me I had is basically only linked to cancer patients. She did not actually ask me any questions about my past history of depression yet based my entire diagnosis off of past medical history. I left her office feeling more confused than before because the diagnosis doesn't fit!I feel like I wasted my time and money to be disappointed and still having the same issues.
SHC Patient, May 2015
Very confident in her manner, diagnosis, treatment and concern.
SHC Patient, Apr 2015
Love her she is great
SHC Patient, Apr 2015
Was very good every thing for me.

SHC Patient, May 2019
Dr Santini is great. She is very professional but not intimidating. She listens and shows concern. The doctor that was with her who did the actual injections was also quite nice. She did a good job. Not as good as Dr. Santini but she was really good. I was quite happy with the experience.
