Dr. Soares came highly recommended. She answered my questions. However for whatever reason during my appointment she seemed distracted and preoccupied. She glanced at the clock at least twice so we felt rushed, and when I made a comment that I was concerned we were taking too much time she commented she did have another patient she needed to see. This was a HUGE appointment for us. It was the appointment when we would be discussing what my biopsy showed, what it all meant and what treatment options I had and why one treatment was recommended and another wasn't and side affects and staging and what my prognosis was and if it was different with different treatments and what my quality of life might or might not be. My whole world has been turned upside down with my diagnosis of cancer, especially because this cancer is terminal. I didn't ask how long this appointment was going to be. I assumed it would be a long one so we would have time to talk and figure things out. Our first one with Dr Soares was virtual and because I had not had the biopsy yet there was not a lot we could realistically talk about. Everything in my mind was waiting on this second appointment. She knew information and was pleasant, but I didn't feel like she cared abt me as a person at all. I need a dr following me who I know has my best interest at heart, that I can depend on to care abt what is happening to me, who will do the best they can to take care of me during this tough journey.

Dr. Soares was incredible. She dug deeper than any doctor has and found records and test results that shed new light on the abdominal pain I have had for 6 years. I am so happy - I searched nationwide to find her, and found here here at the U, just blocks from my home downtown. Her expertise, her knowledge, her willingness to answer questions, and her communication skills and trilingual skills, are amazing and I benefitted from all of them. I am so happy to finally get the answers I needed from a specialist in the rare and confusing medical condition I faced. Mil gracias, muito obrigado, Dr. Soares!

I have been lucky to have top-notch physicians at high-quality institutions. Dr. Soares was in the position of having to take over many years of work of other Oncologists. She's jumped right in, did all of the preparatory work to see a complicated patient, and quickly up to speed. She was able to guide all of the needs that I have with confidence, intelligence, and excellent coordination of all of Huntsman's resources .
