Dr. Sothinathan is one of the best doctors I have had. I am particularly pleased that besides specializing in nephrology she is a board certified internist. She actually has her patient’s over all health checked and will get you to the right doctor for your general health. I am so glad I found her!

She has not only been my doctor she has been a friend. When I have been in other trouble she has been there. I trust her and that is the main issue.

I was seeing several doctors to address high blood pressure (GP, Cardiologist, Nephrologists) and Dr. Sothinnathan seemed to be the arrest of the bunch and able to prescribe realistic treatment.

She explains the situation slowly, thoroughly, and in terms you can understand. She does not rush through the exam or her analysis. She asks pertinent questions and then listens. Dr. Sothinathan said she would coordinate with another doctor about my condition and get back to me with a recommendation. Just 2 hours later, she did! Quite impressive! The two staff members we also met were very courteous and efficient.
