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 Soto & His Team are FANTASTIC!
I've been a patient of Dr Soto's since 2020 and he is a critical part of my care team. He and his staff at NW Orthopaedic are caring, patient and listen well to my concerns. They have always given me top-notch care and helped me when I feel anxious about my treatments. I can't speak highly enough about them and how much they have helped me manage my pain. I would definitely recommend Dr Soto and NWOS for anyone dealing with neck or back pain.

DR Soto is AWESOME!!
Dr Soto takes the time to explain the procedure. He made sure I fully understood what was going to happen. He speaks in layman’s terms which made me feel very comfortable. I trust him exponentially. All his staff are very nice.

Dr. Soto
I've been seeing Dr. Soto for about 3 years for disintegrating discs in my back. I have found Dr. to thoughtful, caring and careful in managing my pain with epidural steroid injections. Through the years, I have seen other doctors, and have found Dr. Soto to be among the best. If he feels he can't be of help, he will tell you so.

Outstanding Care Provider
I have seen Dr. Soto twice for Radio-frequency Ablation to treat the medial branch nerve in my facet joints. His approach to person-centerd pain management is truly exceptional. Likewise, the NWOS team that encircles Dr. Soto's outstanding care are competent, compassionate professionals.

A critical part of my care team
Dr. Soto has treated my chronic autoimmune arthritis pain for several years. He has helped guide me into surgical care when needed, even during COVID. I remain active in farming, and horse and bike riding thanks to Dr. Soto's care. His team is kind and generous. I'm grateful for his compassionate expertise! I wish more people knew about this NWOS chronic pain care. It prevents limping and harmful medications which make everything worse! Dr. J E

RFA procedure
I have nothing but positive things to say about Dr. Soto and his support team. He performed an RFA procedure on my lower back. He did a thorough and conscientious job, taking pains to assure he had identified the appropriate nerves. He saw to my comfort, was reassuring and confident, and kept me informed of progress. I am grateful that Dr. Soto is my pain management physician.

After numerous issues due to an auto accident, I finally found Dr. Soto. I have had a number of procedures done by him over the years and my pain has greatly improved and sometimes isn’t present at all! He is fun to work with, caring, thorough, and doesn’t mine a joke or too either!
