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.

A gem, helpful and special Doctor
I was diagnosed with COVID-19 and was very frustrated with the lengthy process of trying to get help. I was sent from one person to another, and no one seemed to be able to give me a definitive answer or help me feel better. Finally, I went to Urgent Care and saw Dr. Sotak. He was incredibly understanding and patient with me, and he took the time to really listen to my symptoms and concerns. He explained my situation clearly and reviewed the medicine he prescribed with me. Even though I was terribly sick and frustrated, he was very friendly and made me feel comfortable. I would highly recommend Dr. Sotak to anyone who is looking for a caring and knowledgeable doctor.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Sotak at Sutter Davis Urgent care. Besides completely taking care of my medical problem he is a very nice person. He is a very thorough and calm doctor.

I ran into him at the downtown Sutter urgent care and he was not only friendly and what you would hope for in a doctor as far as making sure you leave feeling better than you came in, but he took the time to explain everything and make sure I left 100% satisfied. Couldn't ask for a better doctor, especially when you're at urgent care and they don't previously know who you are.

He was friendly, thorough and took the time to not only explain what was wrong but what to expect during treatment. Wish I could have him as my primary care doctor

Dr. Sotak was able to quickly diagnose my asthma breating problems and prescribe the most apporpriate medications to reduce the swelling and allow me to breathe comfortably again. Dr. Sotak is caring and thoroughly explains the problem and what he is aiming to achieve through the medications. Highly recommended.

Probably the best beside manner I've ever encountered in an emergency/urgent care clinic MD. He was genuinely sympathetic and easy to talk to.
