I saw Dr Sotello with Dr Rich Silver from the time I was a year old until 2 years after my 2 bilateral knee replacements in 2003. I love this man. I was very sad when he left Tucson, Az.

I had my knee worked on by Dr. Sotelo, it was 10x worse after the surgery. When I tried to tell him that my problem was worse instead of better, he basiclly told me I was lying and it was all in my head. After several months of horrible constant pain, I finally went to see another surgeon and had to have surgery to fix what he had done and to fix the initial problem. His office staff was also unpleasant and rude.
