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.

I liked Dr. Soriano's style: competent, friendly, short and to the point, realistic and encouraging.

OAB problem
Dr Soriano cares about his patients. However, I am ultra sensitive to meds and I have waiting 4 days to get Meds changed. I am as of now, taking a med that increases my blood pressure. Nurses are passive aggressive when they call back. I was told not to call twice in one day because it takes away from other patients. My latest call back was after 4 days I was told to get meds my insurance covers. I’m on Medicare. Couldn’t they give my options to look up? So this will go into 7 days waiting due a med change.

Dr Soriano operated on my daughter, bariatric case. Dr.Soriano declined our insurance (it still covered OR and a hosp. stay) and we paid several thousand dollars cash. Problem after surgery-gastric tube got stuck in my daughter's stomach and could not be pulled out (claimed to be tube malfunction). Dr. Soriano did surgery #2 and removed the tube. He also well remembered to bill us additional $1500. Later we found out that tube likely got stapled into stomach wall due to negligence of surgeon.!!!

Poor experience overall. Diagnostic skills poor, missing things, does not even come to visit a post-op patient. Dr. Soriano is rude, non-caring and inpatient.

Poor experience overall. Abrupt, asks questions and after - answers his own questions, I had an impression that he was high on something, not really adequate. Best to avoid.
