Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I switched to him after having a great experience in his CHF clinic. He listens, takes his time and makes you feel like his only patient. Always asks about my daughter.

I found the doctor to take his time with me and LISTEN to my needs and concerns. Very laid back and was interested in the both of us coming up with a treatment plan.

Dr Sotolongo saw me in the hospital.. for the first time. He was arrogant.. judgemental.. and condescending to me as a woman. I was very taken aback by his attitude towards me.. especially having never met me before & not knowing anything about my history! I would NEVER choose to go to this Doctor.. or recommend him!!!

I thought maybe on my first appt with him he was just having an “off” day because his bedside manner was deplorable. But today after my appt I realized my gut instinct was correct all along. He never makes eye contact, he is supremely dismissive, insulting, and lack of compassion and concern is staggering. I used to think that the more arrogant the doctor the better he was... not so. I transferred my records before I ever left his office.

Worst manners ever. Never said one encouraging thing to my husband after getting a stent. Very unfriendly, arrogant acted as if we were a bother. No recommendations. As we left I commented "you seem to keep yourself in shape", he commented back " Yes I do, I don't want to wind up like him (gesturing toward my husband) in a few years. We will NEVER see this doctor again. He is a poor excuse of a doctor and a human being. He upset us both tremendously! Pam and George Mitrosky

After being seen by several doctors, I was referred to Dr. Sotolongo. He showed care and concern above and beyond! I believe he is one of the finest physicians I've ever met!

Dr Sotolongo is very professional, while also friendly and very likable. I never feel rushed, and always felt respected as a patient. I am the type who likes to understand my medical conditions, and I appreciate that he is always willing to take time to answer my questions and provide explanations whenever asked.
