I can't say enough good about Dr. Santy.When I was looking for someone, I asked the nurses who they'd use. All of them said Dr. Santy, and I have to agree. I am very happy she was allowed to do a remote practice. She is sympathetic, supportive, and always available.

I was in the middle of TMS treatments when my psychiatrist flew the coop.a nurse was subbing for the TMS treatments. I asked her who she would use and she immediately pointed to Dr. Santy.You can't get higher praise than that from people who watch you work. The nurse was correct. Dr. Santy is empathetic and professional. She is outstanding.

Dr Santy is the best! Knowledgeable, good listener; discusses issues and possible solutions; recommends steps forward. I have worked with a number of psychiatrists, as we've moved around the world and US. There have been other good doctors, for sure. In terms of the total package, knowledge, care, listening, compassion, involvement with me personally and open mindedness about seeking a solution,, I put Dr Santy at the top. It's always easy to highly recommend someone like Dr Santy
