About

At Santa Maria Medicine, Dr. Roderick Santa Maria has built a solo practice around one guiding belief: stop disease before it becomes serious. He opened his Boca Raton practice in 1987 after completing training at two of the country's leading institutions. For nearly four decades, he has served patients from the same community he chose when he first arrived in South Florida.

The practice draws patients managing complex chronic conditions alongside those focused on long-term prevention. Dr. Santa Maria holds nationally recognized expertise in Dysautonomia and POTS, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, gastroparesis, and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. He partners with specialists across the country for patients with the most intricate diagnostic challenges. The practice offers in-office IV therapy, televisits, phone consultations, and a case history review service for patients carrying unresolved diagnoses. Every appointment runs up to 60 minutes. Staff answer calls during business hours and route urgent needs directly to Dr. Santa Maria. After hours and on weekends, calls go straight to his personal cell phone.
