Patient Comments
Dr Sosa is always so caring, interested and concerned. She is cordial and easy to talk to. She never rushes.
She is very clear when explain about my condition and refers me to see other specialist in case that I need. She is very professional and emphatic
This Dr. Was a specialist, this was my first visit, it went very well. The team was very knowledgeable and courteous. I have a follow up appointment.
Dr. Sosa is one of the best doctors I've experienced. She listened to every question I had and answered them honestly. The nurses are the best as well.
Best care from the hematologist, who spent time to help me understand my conditions and came up with appropriate treatment. After visit notes are always detailed and based on good knowledge and research, which is very useful.
