I am so grateful for Dr Sosa being patient with me and explaining my concerns. I was very concerned what my primary dr told me. Dr Sosa eliminated the possibility of my worry and having myeloma. Now I feel that I wasted her time as there are people that have serious health concerns and would need her. My experience with Dr Sosa and Fox Chase was very good.
