Patient Rating
Patients consistently praise Dr. Soares for her deep expertise in neuroendocrine cancer, clear explanations of diagnoses and treatment options, and thorough review of records and imaging. Many comments highlight her compassion, attentive listening, proactive follow-up, coordination with other specialists, and accessibility via teleconference, which patients say builds confidence in their care. A minority of feedback noted an appointment where she seemed distracted and rushed, leaving the patient feeling less heard.

The patient rating score is an average of all responses on our patient experience survey. The rating averages scores for all questions about care from our providers. The scale on which responses are measured is 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.
Patient comments are gathered from our patient experience survey and displayed in their entirety. For the convenience of our visitors, some patient comments have been translated from their original language into English while preserving their original meaning as accurately as possible. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.

I can't say enough about Dr. Soares and her team. They so are caring.
I truly like and feel confident with Dr Soares, Nicole and their nurse.
Dr Soares is a very knowledgeable provider with a very compassionate demure. She took time with me.
I was surprised to see only the PA and not the physician when this was a yearly visit. Maybe she was too busy?
She is very knowledgeable but seem scattered ad unprepared for our visit. She didn't remember certain information about my treatment and I felt like she was not on top o the situation. It felt rushed and unclear.
Good
Professional and patient oriented
For the first time, it's not "this is what needs to happen." I was receiving information on different options on treatment and receiving treatments.

No issues
Although surprised at residual from gall bladder surgery and lack of full recovery from symptoms, Dr. Soares's assurance of flow up with the GI doctor gave me hope I may improve in the future. Dr. Soares IS the light.
Dr. Soares is in a class by herself. Incredible expertise and personal concern for her patients.
Top of the line. Never in my life, me, my wife & children have received the information that these staff gives.
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!
Caught off guard with scans and what they showed Fear of not knowing if I'm going to live a while or am I limited
very caring and skilled doctor
Dr. Soares is amazing!
I should have had my questions more in depth, some questions were answered but not all.
My appointment seems kind of rushed through.
As always, exceptional health care and genuine concern for patients.
I am getting the best care possible!
I couldn't have hoped for a better team of doctor and nurses!
Dr. Soares is very knowledgeable about the condition and knows and understands the best action for support and treatment. at the same time she is very empathetic and personal. She's an excellent doctor and health practitioner. I have full confidence in her abilities and decisions.
As I said before, very well done by all.
always keeps us in the loop including our daughter and even calls our daughter to inform her of how things are going
Exceptional in every way
I was at fastrack
Since my husband was present in the room for the entire visit, it would have been helpful to have a private discussion with my him before making big decisions. I didn't ask for time and time wasn't offered. However, I do like and appreciate my Doctors' efforts on my behalf. They are terrific individuals.
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 .
