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 Arlene Garcia-Soto
Dr Garcia-Soto is very professional and very caring. She explained my condition and her plan for my care very thoroughly so that I understood exactly how to use my medication, what other measures I needed to take to get the best possible results and a timeline to proceed with my treatment.

Great doc
Visit was easy and explained well enough. I felt that if I had too much detail I would have talked myself out of going. All in all procedure and explanation of further steps and plans were talked about thoroughly. I felt well informed and able to take the steps necessary for my care.

Dr. Garcia-Soto is the best doctor I’ve ever had!
She’s thorough, and meets all my medical needs that could affect the cancer. She’s brilliant but she’s not afraid to show her compassion. I have been cancer free for one year now from stage 4 uterine Carsinosarcoma and I’m getting stronger every day.

She's the BEST!
I have been with Dr. Garcia-Soto for 5 years due to a rare ovarian cancer. From our first appointment to the most recent (and many in between), she is consistently professional, helpful and patient. She spends as much time as I need and I never feel anything but valued. I feel 100% confident in her judgement and expertise. I highly recommend her!
