I love Dr. Sosman! He has a great bedside manner and is a super hero to me regarding my cancer issues. He is focused on my concerns and will answer any questions I have concerning my health. He is so thorough in making sure I have the right tests for my annual checkups and if he didn't request a second biopsy, I feel I might not be here today. Most doctors would say all is good if the first biopsy came back negative, but Dr. Sosman had his suspicions and had a second biopsy ordered at that time showing that I did have cancer in that particular area. I am now cancer free.

He always takes the time to listen to me. On this trip I told him my leg was hurting, and my PT was thinking I had a blot clot. I went to the Dr. And they scheduled an ultrasound for some time in July. Dr. Sosman insisted I do it immediately, and within an hour, it was done, and it turned out that I did indeed have a blood clot.
