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.

One of the BEST!!!!
I have been a patient since 2022. I love how Dr. Colon-Soto knows and understands my autoimmune issues. I traveled 2 hours to see her, then me relocated to St. Augustine so now I travel 3 hours to see her. I trust her judgment so far and treatment. She shows me she cares about my health and wellbeing. This is rare these days to find in a doctor.

Not for me at all
New to Dr. Oza's practice, bid as the 'rising star' to take over. Oza is looking for someone like her. She's late. Has that same "fear of germs...wear your mask to be seen" power grab from fraud Fauci. Oza's office, even now at this date, Feb 2023, is insisting on wearing a mask. I have tolerated it until now. Orange Park/Fleming Island/GCS needs an RA doctor that will be around awhile that does not fear germs. I have not said anything about this practice before but I listen to all of the patients in the waiting room and they are not happy with this fear either. Colon-Soto glares at you over her mask and will not talk to you without you being masked up to your eyeballs. I could not even think! She pressed on my knuckles so hard they hurt for a week. She only asked me how are you feeling in the a.m. and what meds are you on? She acts like she owns the place & probably does by now. Oza is a germ fearmonger encouraging employees to be mask police or be fired. A man can only take so much.

I recently saw Dr. Colon and was very pleased with my treatment.m she was very thorough in obtaining my history. We went over treatment options which she explained in detail. She spent a great deal of time with me. She has a great "bedside" manner, answered all of my questions.

I have had my condition for 25 years and have seen various rheumatologists over the years. She was by the far the least patient centric doctor i have ever worked with. Her personal skills were atrocious. she was rude and unsympathetic. It is obvious that she has never been in pain or suffered so lacks empathy in the extreme. The staff was so friendly and kind...Annette and Misty, the office manager were kind and caring and i will stay with this clinic due to them...but DO NOT see this doctor!!!
