Patient Comments
I have complete faith in this doctor and consider myself fortunate to have her seeing me.
Where do I begin, the minute I enter the building I was cheerfully greeted, receptionist was pleasant. All of the medical staff was very nice and helpful. Dr Sosa was extremely informative, personable, and intelligent. She took the time to get to know me and my health issue and explained in depth what could be causing my issue. I was very nervous and she put me at ease with all of her knowledge and she spoke to me like a Dr and a friend. I can not say enough good things about her! I loved her and her staff. She helped me with caring and compassion. I would definitely recommend her to everyone!
They are very respectful and courteous
