Mary Davis My husband and I are new to Dr. Halasz so far we are very pleased with him and his staff. He doesnt rush you, he takes his time with each patient asking questions and gives you time to answer them. You can ask him questions and he will answer them and makes sure you understand his answers. He is truly an old fashion Dr. which my husband and I truly appreciate. We dont feel like a number.

Angelica Rosa I went to Dr.Halasz today 2/14/23 for a follow up that I have been waiting for 2 plus months. When I arrived the lady at the front desk asked "do you have an appointment or something"? I didnt like the fact thats the first thing she asked and to top it off she said it with an attitude. I then go to explain to her that I have an appt and the doctor wanted me to come back to follow up on my bloodwork. She stated that my appt was canceled and wasnt sure who did it and also, they dont take my insurance anymore. I began telling her that I was aware that they dont take my insurance anymore but Dr.Halasz wanted to see me one last time to go over everything and he would make an exception. She then rudely began to say, " well you dont have an appointment, Im not sure what to do". She seemed not to care and was really rude the whole time. I had to take time off of work only to have my time wasted by a rude person as she. Its a shame to have her on his staff because he really is a nice doctor.

Ron Ercolani Fantastic Doctor and staff. Extremely attentive to my health overall. Ive been a type 1 diabetic for over 52 years now and his care is exceptional. Never an issue with appointments.

Kyler Ducey Dr halasz and his staff are top tier, always super kind and welcoming its always a pleasure going and seeing them. Dr halasz also has never failed to help me understand my disease better, he loves when you ask questions and will always give you an answer and maybe some tips, that will help you along youre way. Overall 11/10 doctor (Hes also really funny hell have a joke or two for ya!)

Boyd Victor (Vic) This place is terrible. If you are a patient here I feel sorry for you. I called to become a new patient because my insurance company told me to as a “preferred provider” and the office manager wouldn’t listen to me and tried to tell me that the POS plan I have from my employer which I pay an extra premium for was not accepted but a PPO plan which is a lower level is accepted. She then hung up on me as I tried to ask her a question. I call back and ask for a manager and she said oh I am the manager. I tried again to explain to her that my carrier referred me and I do not have a CVS or whatever plan but a plan I pay a $200 premium for. She tells me again nope only a PPO. No HMO or POS anyone that knows about insurance would know a POS plan covers way more than even a PPO plan and is nowhere near an HMO plan. I’ve just been discharged from an inpatient stay and was told at registration that I have a very good plan because I pay the extra to avoid headaches. So my wife calls to get some answers and Melanie picks up and said “sounds like it’s the wife”. Extremely rude and unprofessional. Do not take your loved ones to this practice even if you have a PPO plan. Absolutely disgusting behavior for people in the medical field. I’m trying to navigate a new diagnosis and this was my first experience speaking with a specialist’s office. Makes me not even want to establish care if this is the attitude of people in the Endocrinology field no compassion or empathy.

Kathie Penland MY 88 year old mother in law Saw the doctor in August. .NEVER GOT RESULTS nor were they sent to the cardiologist that requested the testing nor her primary care dr. When I asked the results be sent I was told the records needed to be requested by the very doctor that ordered the test. After 6 months NO ONE KNOW THE RESULTS BUT DR SOTO!!!! Just NOT RIGHT. NEVER USE THUS GUY IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU.

Lee Laurie I have been very happy with my care from Dr. Soto up until my last appointment. During my visit I let the dr know that I have been seeing a dr to be evaluated for zephyr valves. I printed all of the results from all testing for dr Soto to review. He said that he does not oppose my looking into it. Like it is up to him! I then mentioned changes in my vision from my inhaler. He stood up and said “they all do” ! I asked if he wanted the test results….he said NO. He never even listened to my lungs. He simply left the room. He had me set up for the all night oxygen level testing. The results were that my level is around 84 most of the night. The nurse called to set me up with oxygen. No word from the doctor or follow up. I was so upset and don’t want him to treat me any longer.

Veri Shol Honestly, I think he is a great doctor, very knowledgeable, and very helpful. My dad needed to get a procedure done. I was very nervous for my father. But as soon as Dr. Soto came into the room. I felt good energy, and he was confident and positive and made my dad feel more comfortable before I left the procedure room. I knew everything would be ok. Thanks, Dr. Soto.

Teri Cannino 6 messages were left for Dr. Soto, between our family, and the nurses in the hospital, and not one returned call! My father ended up passing away and none of our questions were ever answered.

Susan Kincaid Good luck if you come here for pulmonary care. I have been trying to get my oxygen for over 6 months and hear nothing but excuses!

Vilma Morales Dr. Shahazad was very nice and professional, answering all our questions. I appreciate his ways with Mother, who is 89 and has dementia.
