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. Soni was the answer to my prayers. I’ve been stuck with sucky pain management doctors because of my insurance. Finally a doctor that treats me like a real person. He explained more to me about my 2 surgeries than the surgeon himself. I’m so grateful for him. He is the “BEST”!!!

have taken off work to see a doctor that most people were very happy with . I plan to report him to Medicare because I was not there seeking drugs I was there to make a plan that might help my constant pain. I plan to fire him because I already told him I have seen Orthopedic surgeons, had acupuncture, physical therapy nothing helped. The surgeons want to do surgery I get that but I do not want that. Why can't doctors just be doctors and LISTEN and try to live up to their oath Physician do no harm instead of assuming everyone is a drug seeker. Thanks for listening I doubt it will change my mind.

I have had the pleasure of having Doctor Neil Soni on my team of doctors for the past decade! Dr Soni is courteous, trustworthy, loyal, has the best bedside manner, takes his time with you, explains things to where anyone would understand. Best of all, each and every time I have been in the hospital he or one of his staff has come to visit me daily. He has been instrumental in my palliative care. Way to go Dr Soni keep up the good work! Oh yeah more importantly, I’ve been homeless for the past three years I’ve only had Medi-Cal insurance and he has seen me and is working with me on making payments to see him… His medical staff Has also supported me and worked with me financially.

Dr. Neil Soni is, BY FAR, the most professional, courteous, thorough and caring Doctor that I have had in my unfortunate/serious medical history and ongoing treatment. He not only addresses the chronic pain issues caused by my conditions, but is actively involved in my medical needs as they arise. I truly believe that having him on my side is a Blessing and if it weren't for his involvement, I wouldn't be around to continue to raise my children and have some form of quality of life. Thanks Doc.

I was very lucky to have met Dr. Soni in 2012. He has been by my side ever scenes. . Through 6 back surgeries. The last one in January 2017, which has left me paralyzed from T8 down. He has always return my calls, and even most recently made a evening visit per my request at the rehab facility I was recovering at. He has never rush our appointment. And has always demonstrated kindness, patients and professionalism. I am grateful to know I will have his support as I conquer my paralysis.

I really don't think this so called doctor knows what pain is. Books ain't gonna but maybe some poor dude in pain will. It's funny to hear someone who is a specialist yet never expected real pain, tell someone like me who is a specialist in pain tell me he's not comfortable with prescribing me with such medication that I need. And to treat me as if i could or maybe an addict, is an direct insult to me. I was able to maintain, after all I'm pain. What a waste, hour+traffic to SD. C U around bub.
