Patient Reviews

Oct 03, 2022

The nurse that first did my vital signs and EKG was very nice and appropriate. However, the physician (Dr. Soto) entered the room without introducing himself and started examining me. I had to ask who he was. He never explained what he was doing or why. After a very brief examination, he looked at my medications and started to tell me that he would not prescribe two of my medications because they were controlled substances and I would have to see a psychiatrist or pain management to get the medications (Tramadol and Ambien). It was ridiculous because these medications were previously prescribed by all of my prior primary physicians and I've been on them for years. First, I never asked him at any time to renew my medications or had any opportunity to discuss the medications I was prescribed because he just immediately started jumping on me about the two medications he did not want to prescribe. Second, no pain management doctor is going to prescribe medications for sleep. At least none that I've ever encountered. I don't believe a psychiatrist is required to order sleep medication. When we asked what he could do, he became defensive and started to tell us all the different boards and stuff he had sat on in the past. However, he never asked once why I came to see him. He made the assumption from the start that I was physician shopping. He made the comment,"what are you here for because you are changing around to a different doctor." I had only seen one physician/nurse practitioner since I have been in Ocala so there was no reason to adopt this attitude. I only wanted to switch because my Aetna case manager recommended that I find a primary care physician. He told me that I was insulting him because I asked what he could do. Bad attitude, no interest in providing care, made assumptions without ever having any reason to do so. Worst physician I have ever seen in 65 years on this earth. I would highly recommend that no one who needs treatment or care see this physician because he clearly had zero interest in getting to know me or making any attempt to do so. If I could have given him zero stars I would have. If you have chronic illnesses, don't bother to see this guy. I've had an ear infection and he looked in my ears and said it was fine. I had to tell him why I came to see him, but he appeared to have no interest in addressing my complaint. In fact, he went immediately to are you a smoker. My wife and I finally told him that we were going to seek care elsewhere because we felt that he was not capable of managing my care at an appropriate level or at any level. Normally, a primary care physician should take a few minutes to get to know you by asking some general questions about your past medical history, what medications you are taking and why, what you are there to see them for that particular visit, etc. I can tell you that this guy did none of those things. My wife and I both left this office very upset over his attitude and behavior.
