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 Has been a very good doctor for me. I have been seeing him and his staff for about 8 years. I had written a review before and added this one as well. He has always been very good with diagnosing and keeping me healthy. I have had mostly blood pressure and related things to manage as I get older. I can't say enough good things about his office and staff. I also have had a stress test, xrays, and ultrasound done at his office which is SUPER CONVENIENT for me... Scott

I recently moved to this area from out of state and was extremely anxious about locating a new primary physician. My concerns were immediately addressed in a compassionate and professional manner by Dr. Soto and the wonderful staff at this family medicine center. He spent quite a bit of time listening to my (quite extensive) medical history and answered every question. I am feeling much better, in regards to my medical care, as a new transplant to South Carolina.

Dr. Soto was very compassionate and listened well to my issues. As a 100% service connected disabled veteran, Dr. Soto was able to take care of all of my medical needs until the VA was able to care for me. I consider Colonial very lucky to have him.

Dr. Soto & staff have really impressed me. I have several health issues & sought Dr. Soto's help to be sure I was staying on top of everything. I started off requesting a neurology appt. He agreed as long as I would allow him to work my case up properly (bloodwork, etc.) before sending me to a specialist. It's been a long journey because Dr. Soto caught a few issues & I was treated. After 6 mos. & without me saying a word, my neurology appt. was set & I was notified by mail! Wow! He remembered!

I had some major issues going on and as i talked with him about these issues his response was or your to young for it to be this and that. I went to another doctor who then asked me if i was some way immune to cancer or other illnesses since i was to young for anything to be wrong. After my car wreck he would not prescribe anything to help with the pain even though i was not sleeping and i tried to tell him i was allergic to a certain medicine which he then wrote me a prescription for.
