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.

Best at what he does
Dr. Soares has been the best addition to my son’s health care team. He truly cares about his patients and is an amazing advocate. I like that he talks to my son and listens to what he is feeling and going through. He spoke to the school employees and helped me get through some of the most difficult times. Our village will always include him and there will never be enough thank yous for all the times he helped us.

Our children's lives are better because of him.
Our 3 children have been with Dr Soares for 5 yrs. He listens to my input & also engages well with my boys to give them a voice of their needs. He is a fast thinke & intelligent; I've never left dissatisfied with the treatment plan. I also appreciate the extra attention to the appropriateness of their IEP's as it correlate with their behaviors and diagnosis. He never gives up, even on my youngest (a real challenge and Soares stuck with it until he found answers). He is a true gem and gets the credit for making our lives easier. We have 5 more years with pediatrics and will continue with him until the boys age out.

Disgusting
Dr. Soares is one of the most disrespectful people I’ve met. He condescends and snaps at patients and their parents. One of the most disgusting providers I’ve ever seen. Would not recommend unless you want to be insulted.

Condescending and patronizing. Offered nothing except to imply that I was the cause of all my child's issues and bad mouthed our long-timed, beloved pediatrician. Showed ZERO compassion except for himself, and i left feeling 100 times worse than when we went in. WILL NEVER GO BACK, advise anyone else to stay away!

Extremely disappointed. My child struggles with severe behavioral problems and we sought out advice about how help him. All this doctor did was tell me to get him in counseling, which we've done with numerous different therapists without success, and tell me his pediatrician didnt know what they were doing because they prescribed him medications that actually were very helpful for his issues. He refused to help him unless we stopped all his meds, which was absurd. I did not like how unprofessional and disrespectful he talked about his pediatrician who we love. I'm extremely frustrated and will NOT be taking my son back to Dr Soares.

Dr. Soares dedication and proactive approaches to improve my daughter Camila really made a huge impact in our lives. He is an outstanding professional and I will always be greatful for being blessed and fortunate enough to have him. All my gratitud to Dr. Soares. As a parent of a child with many simptoms like my daughter I 've come to the conclusion "always choose a Dr. that is willing to go above and beyond to help my daughter and Dr. Soares is that kind of Doctor. Thank you so much!!
