I plan on never changing Doctors again. I had a doctor where I was just a number. Dr. Sosa really cares about me and my family. A very refreshing change and I am losing weight and can eat whatever I want! (as long as it is green and or leafy)

Dr. Sosa is wonderful! He really listens and takes his time with you. The wait time is minimal which i really appreciate. The lady at the front desk leaves a lot to be desired though. She is very rude. Hopefully she was just having a bad day.

I absolutely love Dr. Sosa. He ordered tests that caught my lung cancer early (Stage 1A), referred me to Moffitt Cancer and closely followed me through the whole process. He is always professional but also friendly with every visit. He listens to the patient and is open to discussing options. I give him a BIG Thumbs UP!

Just saw Dr. Sosa yesterday. Very courteous, kind, and concerned. Very blunt and to the point about my needs. So nice to have a young doctor that takes the time for you and listens to what you have to say. Did not feel rushed at all. Michael his MA is very helpful and considerate!

I have been seeing Dr. Sosa for a few years. He loves his job and it shows! He is one of best doctors in Tampa. He gives you time to talk and waiting room time is always short. Do not call for an appointment in tge late afternoon, as staff during that time seems to be unhelpful.
