Dr. Surayya Soares, MD

I have never given a review this bad. This Dr. was absolutely clueless in regards to autoimmune disease. I have 4 now and went back to look at the testing she did on me. There were abnormals she dismissed that could have helped me so much. She had nothing to say, and I am not kidding you. I had dangerous hives the day I went, I was losing my voice which means they were in my airways. I asked for a steroid shot. She said no because I was a diabetic. I said, what if my throat closes ( I did not have an epi pen, she said for me to drive to an ER). I urge you to look at all her other reviews from other sites. I could have died. I felt like giving up after seeing her. Years later I was diagnosed with the autoimmune issues, however I have so much damage it is unreal. She runs tests but could care less about the results.

Went to her after suddenly losing my hearing, so you can't fake that. But my tremors, shaking, stumbling, memory loss, hair falling out, skin rashes, she didn't take very seriously. Sent me for the usual blood testing, everything came back Normal. Which anyone with half a medical degree would know that this is some kind of Autoimmune Disease. In fact, my Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR or sed rate) was very high, they told me there was an infection in my body, but not to worry. I didn't know that too could say there is an Undiagnosed Autoimmune Disease. So because she couldn't find anything wrong in my blood after 1 visit, she prescribed Cymbalta. I made it very clear, I didn't want any Psych. meds, especially prescribed off-label by a Rheum. She didn't care, refused to give me anything else. Very poor dr. and her reviews on other sites seem more accurate than what I'm reading on here. Don't even think she will listen to your symptoms or what could possible be wrong. … After waiting long past your appt. time, the nurses come in and do all of the work, including every single time having to correct my medication allergies in their system. I'd told them 10 times my allergies, still wrong every time I go in for an appt. Well after the Cymbalta and saying that it didn't cause weight gain, it in fact does, that was my last straw with her. She didn't seem to know many meds, had no suggestion for lifestyle changes, weight loss or gain, and was not interested in trouble shooting my symptoms beyond blood testing one time. Very poor.
