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.

Absolutely Perfect
I had several issues with my teeth over the last decade. My most recent one was a real problem tooth that needed to come out. As usual, his sedation dentistry was a breeze. No pain. Zero. They always call up to see how I am doing after procedures. And Dr. Soto himself talks to you, not at you. An affable person, a great staff, and an office you'd be proud to throw a dinner party in, it's so clean.

I really don't know who actually writes good stuff about this doctor, I went to this office to get a price for a deep cleaning and got out of there with a $10,000 quote. my experience with this doctor was absolutely horrible, not only he gave me a $10,000 quote but he told me I needed to extract a wisdom tooth and some other stuff, was very weird because I was sure I already extracted the wisdom tooth before and sure enough my dentist told me I didn't have any. Also he wanted to do root canal where I already had a crown and not root canal was needed as the tooth is healthy. I suffer from blood pressure and mine was over the roof when I got out of that office. Please get a second opinion after visiting this doctor.

Six months ago Dr. Soto did a root canal and crown on my lower molar. Today the tooth broke off at the gum line forcing me to get an oral surgeon and have what is left of the tooth cut out of the bone. The tooth was never a good candidate for root canal; plus, he ground away far too much of the tooth to place a crown on it. Dr. Soto is all about money. It is a very good thing that he specializes in putting his patients to sleep.
