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 have been a patient of Dr. Somma’s for over two years and recently became a member of MDVIP and could not be happier. As a patient of Dr. Somma’s you are not only getting his professional expertise and depth of knowledge, you are also getting quality time and attention plus a vision for you to attain a plan for the best possible results for a healthy life. Bottom line for me, Dr. Somma cares. You are not just another patient, you are HIS patient!

Dr. Somma was the best PCP I've seen. He really took a lot of time to go over my care and results from lab and CT scan results. He has opened his own private practice via MDVIP though, which costs ~$3000/year now so you can't really see him anymore without paying that.

Believes in science except when he doesn’t
Dr. Somma seems like a relatively good doctor who claims to believe in science. But he plays Fox News loudly in his waiting room — where you will spend a lot of time waiting while listening to hosts make anti-vaccine statements, deny climate change, and support denying women essential health care. This makes me very uncomfortable and erodes my trust in his judgment. Plus, it raises my blood pressure.

My over all experience was mediocre, he seemed like he cared at some point but quite frankly he is overbooked and you can never get an appointment, he does not call you back, ever. I believe the staff passed on my message for my results but he just never cared enough to call me. THEY WERE ABNORMAL!! I had the staff fax over labs to my new Primary Doctor and she was very concerned to why no one reached out. Dr. Somma you should stop taking new patients and focus on the ones that you already have. I hope they all get better treatment than I did. So dissatisfied and disappointment. He is a great guy but I always felt like a bother when I came in. I do not know what in the world I was thinking coming back to a place where I felt unwelcomed. I was a paying patient!!
