I have been seeing Dr. Sopko for several years. She is always very easy to get an appointment with. Once in the office, she is very timely and attentive. We discuss my continuing heart issue and she gives me her advise as to the best course of action to follow.

Only 5 minute wait. I had seen Dr Sopko in the past, made on appointment for my husband. Dr. Sopko is very easy to talk with, explains medical information well and is quite thorough. She is relaxed & very pleasant. Recommend her from my past experience & my husbands visit. Office staff very friendly & explain scheduled procedures thoroughly.
