Patient Reviews
Mar 25, 2024
I had left Dr. Softa a few years ago for a physician that offered weekend treatment. I could book Saturday and Sunday appointments. It was at a great cost and I lost great care . I returned to Dr. Softa and the comparison has floored me. I know I am receiving the best medical care possible He is very thorough and every visit he uses my medical history via an advanced lap top system in every room where patients have access to all notes and care via a patient portal. I can also see him virtually. The staff is friendly and kind. My visit was smooth a time. I left with a medical plan and feel safe in his care.
