Dr Chloe Santa Maria was fantastic. She is extremely caring and compassionate and everything you would want in a physician or surgeon. She listened to my issues and answered every question that I had while explaining everything to my satisfaction. I am in the medical field and have worked with many doctors and surgeons and not many are as kind and as thorough as Dr Santa Maria. UPMC should make sure to keep her at all costs!
