        Dr Santa-Maria is a phenomenal caregiver. I feel so fortunate to have him as my oncologist. He isn't just knowledgeable and considered in his treatment planning, but he's very sensitive to the emotional impact of treatment. I had a different oncologist at Emory and I am so happy I have changed to Dr Santa-Maria.
