Dr. Maria Santos

If you are a working mother in Longwood trying to squeeze a checkup between two shifts, Dr. Santos is the provider who will stay on schedule and still make you feel unhurried. She trained at Montefiore and has spent her entire career in the Bronx because this is her community. Her patient panel skews heavily toward women managing chronic conditions alongside demanding lives, and she structures visits around what is actually sustainable for them. Preventive care is her clinical focus, which means she catches problems early instead of treating crises later.
