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.

Incredible Results
I saw doctor Soohoo because I had years of foot pain. I had gone to a podiatrist and a physical therapist, but they could not help me. The physical therapist had another patient who had seen Dr. Soohoo with great results. Dr. Soohoo performed a surgery that transferred a tendon that was completely torn. The surgery was intense and complicated, and the recovery was fairly long, but the results have been incredible! I can walk, exercise and live a normal life without pain. I am thrilled and would do it again in a heartbeat knowing the end results were so amazing.

I had a broken little toe that was sticking out. The bone was slightly healed as I delayed treatment a week amid the coronavirus epidemic. Dr Soohoo manually broke and reset my bone perfectly, in five minutes in his office. On the x rays afterwards I couldn't even see where it was broken. Prior to seeing him it was curved and sticking out on the x rays. I am very pleased with his treatment.

Highly proficient. My internist said that he was the only one she would see if she needed foot surgery and now I know why.

Unfortunately for me, I had to use Dr. Soohoo to repair a second broken ankle. Fortunately, Dr. Soohoo does a great job and is very friendly and inspiring. My general practitioner also thinks he is great. High recommendations.

Dr. Soohoo operated on my right ankle in January. It was a very successful surgery and I was extremely satisfied with his temperament, skill and follow-up.
