Debra Santos, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

“I have been with Dr. Debra Santos going on 3+ years. I have the same diagnosis for 30+ years. Sadly again the meds I was on stop working after 10 years. It took some time, new blood work, hormones do to menopause and additional meds due to body chances. She, my Physician and I worked closely and honestly to get me back to a good mental point in life. She has offered up good suggestions and advice. She also has a great listening ear. I strongly advise time, an open mind and honesty. She does not tell you what you want to hear. She tells you how it is and what you could do to make your mental health better. Sometimes it is not an easy pill to swallow but it is the truth. I am quite happy with her and her services. I would recommend her!!”

“She cancelled my last appointment with her, then put in the notes that I’m the one who cancelled said appointment. Then, she dropped me as a patient without telling me leaving me to run out of my Zoloft. I do not recommend. I’ve been having panic attacks all morning. Edit: Lifestance as a whole is great, just avoid Debra if you value your mental health and want to avoid going through withdrawals.”

“I was able to get in to see Debra Santos in about 2 weeks. She us caring and understanding. The staff were friendly and helpful.”

“I recently had an appointment with Debra Santos, hoping for a thorough and understanding psychiatric evaluation. Unfortunately, the experience fell short of my expectations. Right from the start, I couldn't shake off the feeling that she saw me more as a drug seeker than a patient in need of help. It also really bothered me when she made assumptions about my marriage that felt out of line and judgmental. What I really needed was a fresh look at my mental health, but it felt like she just relied on my old diagnoses from over twenty years ago. I didn't get the sense that she was truly interested in what I'm going through now. Honestly, I walked out of there feeling even worse than when I came in, which was really disheartening. So, based on what I went through, I find it hard to recommend her. I was looking forward to a genuine and caring approach, but that's not what I experienced.”
