Phenomenal doctor, knowledgeable and friendly while providing top notch dental care. As one who is regularly anxious for doctors appts. I surely hate the dentist. When I'm here they make me comfortable and offer options to keep you relaxed such as nitrous and overly caring technicians. You can't go wrong with the supreme services offered by Dr. Ernie Soto and his team!

Dr Soto has created such a warm and friendly atmosphere I now do not get anxious before my appointments. I was a little skeptical when I was greeted by a new dental hygienist. But Arelis was gentle, kind, and thorough. She also gave me tips on correct brushing, flossing and water pick techniques. I look forward to seeing the friendly staff again in 4 months.

I highly recommend Dr. Soto, as I currently live in Plantation, but my dentist is located in Tampa and have only gone to the one and only dentist that I have trusted since I was a young girl. Well on Saturday my crown fell off my tooth, so I obviously contacted my dentist in Tampa and after discussing with my dentist he recommended I find a dentist to go to close to where I live and have dentist cement crown back on tooth. So now I am nervous about going to a new dentist, as I definitely don't want to go somewhere that will try to take advantage of the situation and start telling me things that are wrong with tooth and/or the crown to make money on my first time visit. Well I found Dr. Soto on Google and read the reviews which were very positive. I called to see if they could get me in today for an appointment. I spoke with Megan on the phone and she was very pleasant and was able to schedule an appointment today at noon and quoted $100 for exam and cement crown on tooth which I thought was reasonable then they could submit to my insurance. I arrived at my scheduled appointment and the front office personnel was very professional and pleasant during my check in. I didn't wait long and was brought into exam room where Dr. Soto examined the tooth and crown then said everything looks good and he will cement crown back on tooth at no charge today! What a nice surprise and it definitely shows he was not in it for the money and took care of me today. I am so grateful for finding Dr. Soto and his amazing staff. If I ever need to go to dentist in Plantation I will definitely go see Dr. Soto!!!! Thank you!

Dr. Soto and his team are exceptional. I am very grateful to have been under their care. From the very front desk crew, to the dental assistants, Doc himself and the kind person helping me to my car, they all are consistent, professional, caring, personable, knowledgeable and reassure you that you are safe. I know that I can trust in this office and feel very comfortable recommending them highly for your dental needs. Especially sedation for an anxious person as myself.

I went to Dr. Soto's office very reluctantly, as I have a terrible fear of the dentist; which has contributed to the current state of my dental health, unfortunately. I was in terrible pain, I made the appointment and I am so happy I did! What an incredibly empathetic, professional, and efficient team. Dr. Soto made me feel very comfortable, he agreed IV sedation for my procedure was the best course of action for my particular dental issues and I cannot thank him enough, he is an amazing doctor! I woke up to a very soothing team by my side, I want to thank every single person in the office, the hygienist that reassured me countless times, Jessica for answering my many questions; and so compassionately reassuring me. Also Megan for checking on me over the weekend. You are truly an amazing practice. Also a special thank you for my edible arrangements, what a sweet gesture, thank you all! I look forward to future visits ( I can't believe I'm saying that) to get my dental health in the right direction!

To review Doctor Soto, it's not what I could say wrong, but how I have to limit myself to what he has done right. I had suffered NUMEROUS serious dental problems from age 5 to age 45. Major dental disorders, braces for 10 years total, my list is painful. I have been to dozens of dentists (yes, dozens). In desperation, when living up north, I went to Harvard Dental School, and had a team of their teachers and even the Dean of Periodontology work for over a year to try to fix me. They made me WORSE! Greatest school (supposedly) in the nation, couldn't fix me! By this time, all the typical fears we have of going to the dentist, in me they were exponentially raised to a psychotic level. Pain, bad doctors, failed procedures, constant oral deterioration with no end in sight. When I moved to SoFlo, my brother recommended his dentist, Doctor Ernie Soto. Great, another dental quack. However, I will try. Let me tell you, if ever there is a dental heaven, it is Doc Soto's office. First visit, he viewed my mouth, saw the vast amount of issues, and immediately came up with a plan to save my mouth, and quite literally to save my very mental health as well. This ongoing dental fiasco was really causing me to feel run down. When you have no hope in sight, it makes one degrade. I went through multiple surgeries, all under fantastic dental sedation done very well (When Harvard did it, I kept waking up during it, with blood all over the place). My mouth eventually was put to a state where I have dental health for the first time since I was 5 years old. No more daily throbbing pain, no more constant procedures. Past a couple root canals, also done under dental sedation (Thank the good lord for dental sedation), my mouth is normal. My teeth are beautiful, easy to maintain, I eat normal finally. I actually can also smile for the first time in decades! From Jenny and all the fantastic dental assistants who assist Doc Soto, to Jennifer and the front desk crew welcoming you in, to Shannon the dental hygienist who cleans your teeth very gently, everyone surrounding Doc Soto just makes his office a place that one can literally call "A Safe Zone". Any adult, any child, anyone can walk in, have Doc Soto check you out, give you a safe, proper, thorough status that is medically sound, procedures that can literally be pain free, and you can trust it. That speaks volumes to what I have experienced in my life with the dozens of quacks I have experienced. DOZENS!! I know this review sounds too gushing. Was it done by someone in his family masquerading as a patient? Did he give me free work in exchange for this? No on both. I'm just someone who was swirling the dental drain and finally someone could fix me. For this, Doc Soto has my eternal gratitude.

Dr Soto has been me and my family's dentst for many years. He and his staff have been very warm and welcoming from our 1st office visit. I am confident you'll feel the same. It appears that he hand picked the best office staff as well as hygienists. You won't regret choosing him as your dentist.

My wife and I have both had the pleasure of having dental work performed by Dr. Soto everything from simple cleanings and more extensive work such as implants. All of the staff has always been very professional and helpful especially Jennifer she is very caring and she has always gone out of her way to make sure we have had the best experience possible. My wife and I will continue to go to his practice for all our dental needs.

Dr. Ernie Soto is beyond compare in so many areas! In my personal opinion and from experience, he is the best of the best. I had an issue with a previous dentist that caused me so much pain at the worst time imaginable. Dr. Ernie Soto came to my rescue! He also makes it comfortable and the least painful process! You know you're in good hands when every single one of his staff is kind and compassionate, especially for those who are scared or get anxious anytime they think of the word, dentist. If you need a cleaning, I highly recommend Arelis Perez! She made me feel so at ease even in the midst of a cleaning. I'm not even that afraid to come back because she's so sweet! Just give them a call. You'll be surprised at how caring they are from the moment you speak with them!

I cannot stress enough how comfortable was my visit to Dr. Soto's office. As a new patient I was greeted with politeness and smiling faces (you could tell even when they were all using masks). Dr. Ernie Soto is very calm, friendly and very honest as I was offered what I needed. The staff composed of Jessica Lynnette, Jennifer, Megan, Diana have all a soothing tone of voice when speaking making me look forward in speaking to the whole staff again. Both English and Spanish are spoken making it a plus. Arelis did my basic cleaning perfectly with some suggestions of how to improve my denture hygiene procedure and also has a YouTube video on how to do so. The office was clean, neat and well designed with a nicest view I've seen yet. Every precaution for social distancing is taken into account giving a refreshing feeling of health safety. In conclusion, my best recommendation for a dental office anywhere around. Unless they retire from service I will never go back to anyone else. Five stars hands down.

Dr. Soto is the best. His staff lead by Jennifer are outstanding. When I was introduced to Dr. Soto over 6 years ago Jennifer took great care in carefully walking through each step of the process. I had A LOT of work done including a lower front bridge and many crowns. My teeth look perfect and more importantly work better than ever. I can't say enough about Jennifer, Kathy and the rest of the staff in the office. I highly recommend Dr. Erie Soto for any of your dental needs.
