This review is specifically for the DR. named JOSE SOSA and not the staff.
He recently diagnosed me as having onychomycosis tinea pedis, commonly referred to as "athlete's foot, on my left foot.
I contracted this during covid and didn't visit a doc until recently. I DIDN'T tell the doctor that I've had this for over a year.
JOSE SOSA immediately recognized it and prescribed me medicines for HALF the duration that he RECOMENDED I take (I don't know if that's normal practice but I thought I would point that out, in case).
JOSE SOSA ALSO MENTIONED THAT IF I LET THE INFECTION GO ON, IT COULD CAUSE ME LIVER PROBLEMS. At this point, I became worried.
I left with my prescriptions and started researching due to the fear I was left with.
Turns out one of the medicines JOSE SOSA prescribed (flucanazole) can potentially CAUSE liver problems in some patients - a KNOWN side effect.
The more concerning thing is that in my inquiries, I never came across evidence that prolonged exposure to athlete's foot can cause liver problems; in fact, most of the information on this affliction stated that the MEDICINES used to TREAT athlete's foot tend to affect the liver so blood tests are advised just to be sure they (THE MEDICINES) are not causing adverse side effects.
THIS DOCTOR JOSE SOSA LIED TO MY FACE. I don't know why he did this.
whether it was to cover his own a** if I contract liver problems, I won't blame him OR if he wanted to scare me into coming back to pay for more prescriptions.
Either way, JOSE SOSA lied to his patient and he clearly shows a disregard for trust with clients.
P.S. This review is NOT regarding a doctor by the name jose nieves-sosa, who also seems to have a practice in the area. read more
