Rachel Santos, APRN

As a nurse practitioner at Sanitas, patients are my primary focus. I take a whole and comprehensive approach to their care, incorporating treatment, medication and other factors that can affect patient outcomes, including family, religion, ethnicity, and personal preferences. I speak both English and Spanish fluently and have found that being bilingual means I have better communication with my patients. A good day at work means that my patients leave with all their problems addressed and with the information and knowledge they need to feel better and continue their care at home. 

I was born in New York City, New York, and moved to Orlando, Florida, in 1987. I have also lived in Laredo, Texas, where I met my husband before eventually returning to Orlando in 2005. My primary reason for going into medicine was to help people by providing them with the best healthcare possible, and in doing so, help them live their best life.

When I take off my coat, I love to spend time with my husband and our dog Whitman. I also love to read, watch movies, relax, and go swimming.
