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.

Highly recommend
I am grateful to have Dr Sotrop as my physician. He takes time to ask questions, listen, give thorough explanations and go over everything with me. He obviously cares about his patients. He and his staff are kind, friendly, respectful, and professional. Appointments are on time with very little wait time in the lobby and in the examination room. I highly recommend Dr Sotrop!

I first went to see Dr. Sotrop because my Primary Care Physician of 16 years retired. The "replacement" Doctor and office I was then seeing did not make me feel very comfortable and I always felt rushed when I was there, as if there was an assembly line that had to keep moving. My initial reason for trying Dr. Sotrop was because his office was right around the corner from where I live. My first reaction after visiting Dr. Sotrop's office the first time was that the staff was very friendly and made me feel welcomed. After meeting with Dr. Sotrop himself, I came away with the same feeling. Dr. Sotrop does take the time to listen to your issues and will talk with you as long as needed to answer your questions. I have been with Dr. Sotrop for about 2 years now and am very happy with the entire staff at his office. I would highly recommend Dr. Sotrop as your Primary Care Physician. I promise that you will not be disappointed.

My wife and I have been patients of Dr Sotrop for decades. He now provides primary care for my dad. You will not find a more knowledgable, caring doctor to help you manage your care.

My disabled son and I sat in his office for two hours yesterday and THEN the doctor refused to see my son. They took my son back, took his vitals and even reviewed his medical information. Then we sat in the back office some more before the office manager came in to tell us that the doctor will not see my son because they do not take his insurance! They knew his insurance when I made the appointment. They lied or front desk needs training. This was discrimination against my son.
