Way to go, Leo and Team
It could not have been any better.
Professional compassionate understanding Provided a solution
I would recommend him to others.
Very helpful
Very experienced and well-versed in the shoulder issues.
Thank you!
very good
Thank you!
Professional, medical healthcare with great Service Provider.
Nice visit.
Very positive and personable doctor!
I feel I can trust the doctors
Just an awesome man
Thank you for your care - I appreciate your time and knowledge.
Thank you for listening and clarity in answering my questions. I appreciated your thoroughness and follow-up.
If the Dr is running late, a call would be nice so that I am not flying to the appointment to be on time and end up waiting over an hour
I will return soon for a follow-up.
Very happy with their service
Good visit
Thank you.
Thank you for such great care!
Thank you for being helpful kind and compassionate we do travel from Taos
Professional dedicated provider.
Good service
He rock's !!!
Every thing was great!
Really helpful, told me my options
All good.
Excellent care
He engenders trust.
I appreciate the organization and professionalism in treating my shoulder and scheduling future appointments and treatments.
Provider explained things well but when referring for therapy had a completely different diagnosis. Was not pleased with this.
Have an administrator or secretary help you with your paper work
I appreciated knowing that I can drop in for cortisone shots instead of waiting for an appointment.
Was very helpful and was able to let me know that surgey would help my situation
Awesome professional and individual.
Excellent care. Thank you!
Thank you my child was very comfortable and we feel great about the care he received
Overall amazing!
the ratings speak for themselves: i felt that - because i am a 'senior citizen' - my concerns and questions did not need to be answered. 'flippant' responses.
Spoke too fast. Was extremely hyper.
If I return for another visit I would request to be seen by the surgeon and not the NP
Awesome
great experience
I think once health should have others look into DEATIALS!
Very difficult to wear splint. Hand swelled alot
See previous point - care is great - business practices are questionable
Thank You keep up the great work
Had my pain been managed better I would have rated him as good or excellent.
The lag time for surgery seems quite long.
Explain everything to me
I was very very happy with my visit.
I would have liked to know that the procedure would be 4 months away while I was in Leo's office.
Well taken care of.
Thank you keep doing what you do best
Thanks! Would not hesitate to see him again!
I love that when I asked him exactly what procedure was done on my hand he drew a diagram on his hand showing all the bones and joints that were operated on
Slow down just a little bit.
Provider was quick but attentive
Made my bad day better!
Very happy with my provider
The experience pleasant
He’s a credit to your office thank you.
I am considering doing more research on the surgery.
I very much appreciate the orthopedic center (including the phenomenal therapists)!!!
Being a veteran was quite surprised as to how fast the decision was made to have surgery. In another month and a half everything should be fine.
NA
The healthcare provider was great but that’s about it quite disappointed about the waste of time for a 10 minute appointment or approximately 15 minutes with x-rays it only took me an hour and a half of my time.
Leo is awesome — always listens to whatever questions and/or concerns I might have.
Like I said very professional straightforward just overall good
Thank You
none
Leo was very professional and explained what needed to be done
He was very knowledgeable and explained things very well.
Both Leo and the radiologist were wonderful.
I am quite satisfied and will recommend this practice to others.
I'll look for an orthopedic doctor elsewhere. This PA was not helpful at all.
Great teamwork very friendly employees
Can't wait to see you! My hand is in your care. You have gone out of your way for me. God bless you! I hope we will be in surgery asap!
Leo was excellent.
Awesome. Professional. Seems to actually care
Personal connection
very good and nice
Keep on doing the awesome job
Everything was fine
Thank you so much for your kindness.
Thank you for taking the time to explain everything and answer all of my questions.
Well done
Excellent
He waited no time
I know I wasn't your patient but still could have acted like I was
Great service from Dr Santibanez.
Keep up the good work.
I am so pleased to have found Dr. Forno & his assistant Leo. I am in good hands... Thank you to all of the staff there!
Give him a raise! 😜
Edith and Rosanne are sweet RN's
He was a nice Dr.and understand my situation
I plan to return
Keep up the good work!!
Call me
I have had nothing but great care from Dr.S I have and will always recommend him and Dr.Forno
Very happy with Dr Forno and Leonardo Sabatinez work 😎
Thanks for the efficient and professional service
None
no.
Efficient visit.
I was pleased with the attitude and commitment of the staff.
I believe in their experience and trust they will do a great job ??
Very professional
Liked his bedside manner alot!
Leo is very helpful even when I was unable to be as compliant as I would have liked.
Slow down on physical therapy
His assistant that Tammy was outstanding!!
Slow down your delivery. Situations are new to the patient. The hurried pace of the one on one make it feel like you are not being thorough. There was no direction as to what I should or should not do during surgery recovery. 2 weeks post
Thanks
The time is very limited - and that is the nature of the beast...
I’ve already bragged on Mr. Santabanez to several friends!
I had a very good experience at the Orthopedic Center
Well done ?
He seemed very approachable and competent
You have a great team.
Simple surgery. Got all information I needed. Didn't require much time
Thank you for a comforting visit which did not go the way I wanted it but you made me feel that wrist surgery was going to eventually solve my problem.
Who was my provider???do you mean hospital or specific person?
I'm hoping to see Dr. Forno in the near future to get his advise on some medical procedures I have questions on.
All staff has been great.
Neuro is a total disaster bring referred there is a nightmare on my life right now.
I still have a fractured wrist.
I'm grateful for the strengths of your excellent staff.
Keep it up !
Leo was good.
professional care
Respectful. Took all the time needed to cover details.
Dr. Leo has been great at explaining my injury.
Thank you I appreciate you
Thank you!
Great service
My experience was disappointing. I know the doctor sees patients who are much worse off but I left feeling like I wasted his time
He was great!!!
Perfection
he's very competent and encouraging.
Maybe schedule less patients in a day so you can actually spend the time needed with those who have been waiting.
Not sure who is defined as the provider?
Made it very clear that if I experience any problems to call and he will get me in.
Wonderful care.
Leo listens and is kind
A
None keep up the good work
Great dr
I have been very impressed with the total program. I am still participating in PT to regain total use of my elbow
I could have use a more detailed explanation about the care and cleaning of the arm brace I was given.
Me atendió rápido y fue muy amable y comprencivo.
There are not enough Doctors to treat all the patients. Therefore we are all on an assembly line. Gotta keep moving...
He was great.
The aides/techs were A++
Exceptional professionals
I was very impressed with the level of competence and caring. The least painful shot I’ve ever been given.
Amazing
Thanks Leo for your great care. My thumb is way better!
I truly feel this way about my care provided by your organization.
They were ALL great people!
Excellent
