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.

Terrible Doctor
He misdiagnosed my foot pain 4 times. My X-rays were normal except for some arthritis. He gave me cortisone injections. Then he said I had a fracture though it wasn’t on the X-ray. He told me to wear a boot for 3 weeks. I was still in pain. He ordered a bone scan which was normal. When I confronted him about his fracture misdiagnosis, he brushed it off. He just kept giving me cortisone injections. Finally, he thought I had Neuropathy! He did Punch Biopsies on both my ankles and said I had Neuropathy only on my right side. He prescribed a high dose of Gabapentin. Since then, I’ve had two Neurologists test me and I was negative for Neuropathy. I NEVER HAD NEUROPATHY! He’s not qualified to test, diagnose, and treat Neuropathy. He was grasping at straws. In retrospect, I wonder if he lied to me to save face. I spent over $300 + the cost of tests, went through unnecessary pain, and he didn’t help me at all. I didn’t get a second opinion because I thought he was good and I trusted him.

Dr. Sotelo will leave you waiting for an unacceptable amount of time EVERY time. Not to mention his staff are very rude. I'll be finding a different dr.
