He is smart, knowledgeable about his field and able to communicate to the patient (my mom) about her condition and possible resolutions. He takes the necessary time to answer questions and discusses realistic expectations. He is a blessing in the face of mom's debilitating, spinal, age-related, pain. (I say this as her daughter and a fellow health-professional.)

very professional unfortunately i wasnt able to get any medicine for my stomach and back pain on a first visit
Dr.Soto is patient, informed, and eager to listen. His treatments take into account one's special needs.
This is the doctor that payed most attention to me ever, and I'm 62 years old!
Outstanding ability to communicate and relate to patient and patient's issues. Excellent use of (visual) aids to help explain patient's condition and proposed treatment. Time spent to be sure patient's questions and concerns were answered.

My appointment was at 9:00AM and Dr. Soto called me back at exactly 9:00AM. Dr. Soto is an excellent Doctor who carefully explains his treatment procedures. He knows my patient history and he listens carefully. I highly recommend Dr. Soto.

Great Doctor. Patient, smart, kind and empathic. Took a thorough history, did a thorough exam, reviewed my MRI with me, listened to my concerns, and explained my diagnosis as well as treatment regimen. He even showed me a computer animation of my upcoming procedure. He helped manage not only my pain, but my expectations of treatment as well.

canceled Appointment on me
Dr. Soto is a kind, caring & thorough physician. He patiently listens, reflects & responds. He promptly answers questions in the office & after hours.
Dr Soto is the first Pain Management Specialist I have ever been treated by. Within only a few visits, he has been able to successfully treat several chronic back pains for which no other treatments I received in the last 30 years had ever worked. In addition to being an extremely knowledgable and competent physician in his field, Dr Soto has always thoroughly answered any question I may have had concerning my condition. He is also very personable and compassionate. I could not have wished for a better doctor. Highly recommended.
