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.

Excellent
Dr. Soforo was my rheumatologist for a decade before relocation. She was the best doctor one could ask for... warm, caring, professional. I miss her.

Physician is not very kind
She was extremely cold and definitely not a warm and fuzzy. When trying to have dialogue she was very curt and did not seem terribly interested in hearing what I had to say. I will not be returning to see her. The bright spot is that her Medical Assistant Mary is amazing!

Great experiences
I’ve had multiple appointments with Dr. Soforo & I’ve been very pleased. She is kind, concerned, calm, thorough in her questioning and diagnoses. She has helped me a lot. I came in incapacitated by arthritis, & I am now presenting with minimal symptoms. She helped me get my life back. Her medical assistant is also excellent. I highly recommend her expertise.

Not worth my time.
Truly awful experience. Told me to stop taking a med if I experienced side effects then got upset when I did exactly that. The first time I went was awful but I chose to go back and now regret it. I was not listened too. Truly so stuck up on her own ego. Going to find another Dr to help me.

In 2016 I had knee joint issues to the point that I could no longer go up and down stairs, she did a very thorough examination and based on the pain we went with gel injections. Those injections made me pain free for 4 years and were minimally uncomfortable to receive. She was fantastic explaining options etc. I am at the point where I will need injections again and she is the only doctor I will go to. I have recommended her to several of my friends and my husband - she is the best.

Wonderful. Dr. Soforo diagnosed my condition in my 1st appointment, something that other physician did not do. I start feeling better, after few days with the new medication. Thank you Dr. Soforo

Doctor that thinks she is beyond everyone else, very stuck on herself. No longer treats Fibromyalgia with medications. Believes patients should just suffer with it.

i had an awful experience with Dr. Soforo. I have never felt so upset with a doctor that I have felt the need to leave the exam room. I honestly stood up and left. She wouldn't even help me find my way out. Horrible experience.
