Patient Comments
I was very pleased with my vist.
It was a great experience with Dr Sosa and her staff. The telemedicine appt was convenient in allowing me to work and fit in this visit considering I don't have many days to use at work. Dr Sosa is kind, thorough & so easy to talk to. She makes things understandable & we are able to have a conversation about what she thinks could be going on abs how we are going to proceed from here. I'm so blessed to have her as my Dr
Great doctor, and understands her patients too.
No. Keep up the good work.
Dr Sosa is very kind caring and she listens to me and talks so that I understand what is happening to me
