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.

Awful.
Horrible. My baby was diagnosed with Hydrocephalus at 20 week anatomy during my pregnancy. She told me my baby would be severely disabled and never live a independent life. We switched doctors and our new neurologists said he would not classify my child case as sever. my baby is now 7 months hitting all milestones and is getting ready to crawl. I understand letting parents know the possibilities that are out there but to label them before they have entered the world is horrible. She was not supportive and horrible bed side manner. I would not recommend her to anyone. She should be reviewed.

I would never again see this Doctor. Worst bedside manner imaginable. On top of that, she seemed a lot less knowledgeable than the Nurse Practitioner who saw my baby first. She seemed totally detached and lacked care for my newborn baby, was very rough, and scoffed at my questions. Terrible experience overall and a waste of time.

When my son was born with minor case of Cerebral Palsy we were referred to Dr. Soul. She told us at 4 months old, Matthew would never ride a bike, play a sport and probably not graduate from high school. We took him home and he rode a bike at 3, played baseball, lacrosse, hockey, and football. He graduated from high school this past Saturday and is headed to Springfield College in the fall. How dare she tell young parents to not have hope. Shame on her.
