I absolutely appreciate Dr. Sara. She's very patient and understanding, and her staff are absolutely amazing. And I look forward to each visit that I have with her. She's very comforting. And also the outside floor staff for appointments, they're also very courteous and understanding, and they listen and they work well with clients such as myself. I do appreciate it. Thank you.

Dr. Soto treated me and my sister with utmost professionalism that a kind and thoughtful gynecologist could possibly provide for her female patients. I was so impressed with how I was received by the office and Dr. Soto?? I decide to switch my current obstetrician/gynecologist that I have been visiting for 25 years to Dr. Soto's care because of this impressive difference in her medical practice that assures total trust in me. Thank you Dr. Soto and her awesomely friendly staff for your great service and care??

Dr. Soto is friendly, respectful and nonjudgmental. She listens and works with me to solve issues unlike some doctors who only want to do things their way even though it's not their body.

Excellent person, Dr. Soto. This is my first visit. Very well-mannered, beautiful, warm, welcoming smile, and was very, very gentle in the insert she had to put in my very dry and close vagina. I thank her very much for doing that and for just for being kind. Thank you and being a great listener. Thank you.

October 27, 2025
In regards to the wait time from getting roomed to being seen with the provider was a 35 minute wait in the exam room . It would've been nice to be informed that the doctor was running late instead of not knowing why I was not been seen

September 02, 2025
I have been a patient of PAH for many years. (name removed) has always been my gynecologist. This is the first time I was highly recommended to see Dr. Sara Soto and she was phenomenal. Very professional, very detailed, explained everything. So sweet and kind, very passionate about her job. Followed up with me on the phone. I can't say enough good things about her. Unfortunately, we are trying to Transfer out of PIH due to costs and charges. We're on a PPO plan. So, the charges for radiology and things that are billed under the tax ID of the facility of the hospital is just not affordable. But, Sara Soto is somebody I would probably even pay cash to go see once a year if I had to. Thank you.

June 20, 2025
My experience with this physician is always a pleasure. I have seen her since the year of 2010. I would not change physicians unless I'd have to. She always takes her time and listens her care and her feedback is the best. She always provides her best and always has her best interest in you. Dr Soto is a doctor I would refer to any of my family or friends never any problems wouldn't have it any other way thank you.
June 16, 2025
My only complaint is the staff in the front that you first see as you exit the elevator. They are rude. I'm standing in line and there are 3 females behind the counter and I'm still standing in line, and I'm the only patient in line. So I look around and act like their professionalism doesn't bother me. Why can't they say, " I'll be right with you" then 3 minutes later, all I get is, " Do u have an appointment?" Who does the hiring? In my opinion, it's this generation.
June 09, 2025
Throughout my visits with Dr. Soto they have always been a great experience. Dr. Soto is a wonderful doctor, very cordial, she listen to my concerns and explains the issues surrounding my medical diagnosis.
June 09, 2025

June 06, 2025
Dr. Soto was very attentive and she made me feel extremely comfortable. Right from the start when she came into the room, she had her full attention on me. She never made me feel rushed. She made sure that I got all of the information and I had a lot of questions, so she never made me feel like there were questions that were taking up for time or that were not valid. So I would definitely see Dr. (name removed) again.
June 06, 2025
I love Dr. Soto's happy outlook on life.
May 30, 2025

May 20, 2025
Dr. Soto and her staff are professional and thorough.
May 20, 2025
I had to wait 20 minutes just to be called into the office, then over an hour just for the doctor to renew a prescription and spend 2 minutes with me. I was patient, but that was unreasonable and unprofessional.

I truly love Dr Soto. I trust her with my care.
March 14, 2025
Really, my experience at the provider was fine. The only thing that I think led it to be rated a little lower is because earlier that week I talked to someone at the front office about getting like a letter sent through to get approval for like an x-ray for a cavity. And it was just this like weird situation where I was just calling because I knew that it was kind of a last minute thing. So I was just calling to follow up like an hour before my appointment. And they were like telling me that they had already sent it in and I just needed to check my profile for it. And we were like looking at my profile and there was nothing there. And yeah, and then so there was that. And then they told me I would have to get their fax number and they could fax it over to me because the portal wasn't working. But then literally as soon as I
March 14, 2025
My experience was wonderful because my provider made me feel seen and heard. The only thing I wish were different is the amount of time it takes to schedule an appointment with my provider. The long turn around from the time I'm calling to schedule my appointment to the first available appointment time feels too long and discouraging.
March 14, 2025
The experience with doctor soto and the office has no been good The first time I went in I waited 45 minutes in a gown for my pelvic exam I wait so long to see doctor Soto just to feel rushed This time around came in early got checked in and vitals done and still waited 30 minutes for dr Soto for her to rush on me Not individualized care at all just feel like I'm getting pumped through the system Concerns I kept bringing up for the last year were dismissed I needed to keep pushing to get anything from dr Soto and gives me a diagnoses without any alternative method of treatment The office is outdated as well and does not give the feeling of being a clean place
March 14, 2025

March 07, 2025
Dr. Soto listened to my concerns and treated me with respect.
February 21, 2025
Upon arrival, I was told that my check-in wasn't submitted, even though I thought that my check-in was submitted through my phone while I was at home. Unfortunately, there was a technical issue, I'm assuming, and that was not the case. So I did attempt to submit it through my phone, but the Internet was horrible and I couldn't log into any type of Wi-Fi, so I was not able to do it through my phone. The tablets were not working, and I was told that there's no Wi-Fi for the tablets for me to have done it electronically. So I had to do everything on a paper copy, and it was very apparent that the staff was not happy that it was going to have to be done on a paper copy.
February 21, 2025
Dr. Soto is the best!!!!
February 14, 2025
Dr. Soto is absolutely amazing. She explained everything in detail and made my procedure easy and calmed me down.
February 12, 2025
Dr. Sara Soto was amazing. I was a bit weary since I was having my first pap smear done, but she explained the process beforehand and explained everything step by step during the process. She made sure I was comfortable and was very nice. Definitely seeing her again for my next appointment.
February 12, 2025
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Sara Soto. As someone who has recently experienced a miscarriage, these appointments can be stressful, but Dr. Sara Soto made me feel welcomed and cared for from the moment she walked into the exam room. She was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, taking time to listen to my concerns. I highly recommend Dr. Sara Soto, as she provides excellent care.
February 11, 2025
