Anyone who knows me well knows that I am traumatized when it comes to the dentist. I mean to the point that even talking to anyone in the dental office on the phone makes my palms sweat, stomach turn and anxiety immediately set in, well I have to say that I think I have found the perfect dentist and team for me. I was sedated and had dental work… done this past Tuesday which was scheduled for two weeks prior but because I caught a cold and was going to be sedated it was rescheduled as they didn’t feel it was in my best interest to be sedated since I would have to be given oxygen while

I had a dental emergency for a wisdom tooth extraction (that already had a crown). The staff was caring, friendly and helpful. Dr. Soto was about the nicest dentist I've met and took time to explain the sedation process (which was the reason I selected them) and how recovery would go. I was able to be completely taken care of by the end of the morning. It felt like being taken care of by family. Highly recommend the entire office. Great experience, considering I was there for the reason I was.

Dr. Ernie Soto is beyond compare in so many areas! In my personal opinion and from experience, he is the best of the best. I had an issue with a previous dentist that caused me so much pain at the worst time imaginable. Dr. Ernie Soto came to my rescue! He also makes it comfortable and the least painful process! You know you’re in good hands when every single one of his staff is kind and compassionate, especially for those who are scared or get anxious anytime they think of the word, dentist. If you need a cleaning, I highly recommend Arelis Perez! She made me feel so at ease even in the midst

I cannot stress enough how comfortable was my visit to Dr. Soto's office. As a new patient I was greeted with politeness and smiling faces (you could tell even when they were all using masks). Dr. Ernie Soto is very calm, friendly and very honest as I was offered what I needed. The staff composed of Jessica Lynnette, Jennifer, Megan, Diana have all a soothing tone of voice when speaking making me look forward in speaking to the whole staff again. Both English and Spanish are spoken making it a plus. Arelis did my basic cleaning perfectly with some suggestions of how to improve my denture hygiene

I love getting my cleanings with Arelis Perez, she does such a wonderful job and is gentle and effective at the same time. She has such good hands, I can relax in the chair and makes getting a cleaning a relaxing, pleasant experience. My teeth feel so clean and fresh every time after cleaning. Dr. Soto is also excellent and everyone at the office is friendly, warm and attentive. I highly recommend this dental office.

Dr.Soto and his staff are by far the best in class. I went in for a dental implant consultation and immediately had no doubt that I’d be moving forward with his services. Dr. Soto took his time explaining my options and answered all of my questions. His staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. There’s no doubt that I will be sticking with Dr.Soto and his team for all of my future dental needs. I would recommend anyone interested in high quality dental care follow suit.

Being sedated for extensive dental work is the only way to go. Dr Soto is the best!
I had my second sedation yesterday to remove two broken wisdom teeth where I also had abscesses. I was treated with antibiotics first, then sedated to remove both teeth. It was a great experience! I had no knowledge of what was going on. I slept for hours after and again the whole night. I have no swelling, no pain!

Today, I had two crowns put in. Never had crowns prior, the experience in the chair was painless. Dr. Soto and his technicians are terrific. Atmosphere is relaxing. Office is not freezing cold. All of the administrative staff is informative, professional and pleasant. Overall, LOVE the dentist and all the wonderful staff that surrounds.

Dr. Soto and staff are truly caring professionals. Office is clean and beautiful. Always on time! Love them for so many reasons! Yesterday I was there for my cleaning and told Dr Soto my daughter was collecting donations for the Bahamas and my husband was flying them down there with her. Without hesitation, Dr Soto gave me two large boxes of tooth brushes, a big box of toothpastes and a box of floss to bring with our donations to the Bahamas! ❤️ Dr Soto!

This dental office present a professional atmosphere and Dr. Soto takes time to answer questions and responds to my needs with a sense of urgency. He has a wonderful team. I am most impressed with Adela and her professionalism. She is very knowledgeable, friendly and patience. She went above and beyond her duties to make me feel comfortable during my procedure, ensuring me that she understood what I was going through. Because of Adela exceptional service, I would definitely refer my family and friends to Dr. Soto for their care.

Dr. Soto is the best dentist ever, he's kind, he's careful he's gentle he's concerned about all of your problems and your pains, he does the best work that I've ever seen. that I've ever had done I'll never go anywhere else especially with sedation, I'm terrified of any dentist. before sedation I would shy away from dentist but since sedation no… problems, won't do it without but even if I didn't have sedation I would still go see doctor Soto and no one else and with the wait staff you have upfront, especially Jennifer, Jennifer's always there, always with a smile on her face always willing

Dr.Soto is an amazing dentist. I've had many different procedures done by him and all were wonderful experiences! I've been sedated for my wisdom teeth to be removed, had implants, cleanings, etc. All great experiences. I had no complications after my surgery or any other procedure! There is no better dentist out there. I use to fear the dentist, but his professional and kind demeanor always makes you feel safe. He takes his time with each patient to make sure you understand what you have going on and how he plans to treat it.
His prices are fair especially for the service you receive

I have lost teeth in the front of my mouth because of Dr, Soto. He is a total scam. Anything for money, This man is definitely a disgrace to dentistry. Watch your back after you expose him he is dangerous. Every man, women, and child should avoid this horrifying Doctor. This message comes from a client that paid $25,000 in 2 to3 weeks of meeting This so called Doctor. I Had a problem with 1 (one) tooth. He wanted MONEY. So he created work for himself. $25,000 dollar"s worth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Run you have been warned. I wish to God someone would have warned me..... A warning comes only

I am one of those people who are absolutely horrified of the dentist. My husband has been going to Dr. Soto for years and they treated him so well that it finally convinced me to schedule an appointment. From the first time I spoke to the staff to seeing Dr. Soto, everyone was so nice and understanding and really took good care of me, calmed my nerves, and reassured me. If you are scared of the dentist (I was literally trembling in the chair!) then this is the place to go, they will help you through it every step of the way.

I have been going to Doctor Soto for years now! Honestly don't think I will ever go anywhere else.

I have the honor of being "blessed" with a plethora of dental issues. Dr. Soto was the first dentist who made the treatment that I needed not seem overwhelming. We created a plan and I can proudly say I'm down to just needing cleanings!

He is honestly looking to just take care of his patients, not nickel and dime you. Highly recommend.

Also, their hygienist Shannon is spectacular. Extremely skilled, and so kind. I really can't say enough about this practice!!!

When I decided to get adult braces it was difficult finding somewhere I felt comfortable. A friend of mine has been going to Dr. Soto and recommended I check him out for a consultation. I went in for my initial exam and felt welcomed from the moment I walked in, also Dr. Soto was wonderful! I made the decision to get braces. Fast forward 2 years, I have BEAUTIFUL teeth. I am beyond happy with my results. During my experience at Dr. Soto's office, his staff was amazing!! Cathy and Jennifer are always available to help/answer questions. Dr. Soto is now our family dentist!!

I went to get a second opinion from this office after my dentist said I needed a deep cleaning. I've never had a cavity and wanted to be sure I needed it. I called Soto's office and day of the appointment was told they did not get my emailed X-rays. I wonder now if they were just ignoring the e-mail sent from my dental office because I requested them again day of appointment, but was told they never came. So they took more x-rays saying I would not come out of pocket.

A bill from my insurance showed I would owe money because they charge more than is covered. An office girl from Sotos

This dentist sent an unsigned credit application to two finance companies, and one of them set up a $20,000 line of credit, with a $16,000 balance. I had NO dental work performed at this office, only a proposal for work more expensive than I had asked for, re crowns vs bridge. I had planned to call after the weekend to advise them whether or not I would be able to do the dental work he proposed. I didn't get the chance to make my own decision. His action has ruined my credit, because now my income to credit ratio is terrible I lost a house I already had a pre-approval for because of this
