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.

Dr. So is no longer with Columbia Medical Practice. I was a patient of his for approximately 5 years. I didn't receive the notification from CMP until recently, after he had left. I would like to know where he is currently practicing so I may discuss continuing to see him. If you know, would you post it here. Thank you.

Always had excellent experiences with Dr. So. He always took the time to review what was needed during the appointment and made sure I did not have any questions. Never experienced any of the rudeness others are calling out on the site. Went to him for years before he left Columbia Medical practice and still trying to find out where he went so I can move there.

Shockingly rude. Had technical difficulties with a video visit and openly blamed them on me. I have never had a video appointment before. Even if it was my fault his arrogant attitude was unacceptable. Refused to reread test results after the connection was lost as if it wasn't worth his time. Almost scoffed at me when I told him my concerns. I felt completely dismissed and insulted after my visit. He was talking to me, a grown man, like I was a 12 year old kid. Unacceptable. I will not be seeing him again.

This doctor treated my grandma and her sister who are both in their 80s. He constantly treated my grandma with asthma when it was COPD. She contacted COVID and passed away. He just put a bandaid on the bigger issue. I would not recommend this doctor. He is not personable and does not care.

Dr. So was very helpful. He is personable and kind and has a calm demeanor. I met him for the first time with a severe headache and spinal pain and he made sure I got the care I needed. I will certainly be making him my primary care doctor.

Dr. So took plenty of time with me to hear my symptoms and explain my diagnosis, as well as showing me a few exercises I could do to heal my injury. He seemed excited about the ability to share it. He seemed capable and knowledgeable. I will be going back to see him again.

1st visit couldn't have gone better. Very easy to talk to, diligent and reliable (he personally called back with results ASAP as promised). Very happy to have Dr. So caring for me.
