I'm sure Dr. Hopkins is very competent…read more He's the cardiologist my own doctor uses for himself. He replaced the aortic valve of a good friend of mine, who has no complaints. I liked him when I first met him. So I was very surprised, when after wearing a monitor to check on the details of my irregular heartbeat, things changed. He was clearly bothered that I had asked an assistant to give me copies of the 30 pages of diagnostic data. He never asked me why. Well, it so happens that I have training as a nurse, and had, for my own interest, taken a semester long course in reading electrocardiogram results. So he said, you have atrial fibrilation. I want to tell you about the 10 medications we need to choose from. I said "excuse me, but my first goal is to understand the cause, not possible medications." He again acted upset and upbraided me for interrupting him. Then I said: "I'm beginning to feel angry and need to leave now." He acted very surprised, and said: "are you coming back". I said: I don't think so. Then I learned that he had subsequently (CYA!!!) called my primary care physician to complain that I had acted in anger toward him; total misrepresentation of our experience together! Fortunately, my doctor next referred to me to Dr. John Hunter, also in Santa Rosa. Dr. Hunter is great. Completely different approach to a patient. He's a busy man, but acts like he has all the time in the world to listen to questions and concerns and discuss matters. With him I feel like part of a team. I feel respected.

I've had two previous heart attacks and related ongoing problems. The one thing that I appreciate the most about Dr Hopkins is that he speaks using non-medical terminology in explaining processes and treatments. When you leave his office, you know exactly what is going on and his support staff actually does support the patient. They bend over backwards for the patient so you know that you've an entire support group looking after you.

I'm incredibly thankful I ended up under the care of Dr. Soneji. I was hospitalized after…read moreexperiencing unexplained chest pain and shortness of breath that turned out to be myocarditis, and the entire situation was overwhelming. What stood out immediately was how seriously Dr. Soneji took everything I said. Instead of brushing off my symptoms, she sat down and asked detailed questions about what I was feeling, when it started, and what made it worse or better. When I mentioned that the pain felt different from anything I'd experienced before, she ordered additional testing right away, including repeat EKGs and extensive blood work, to make sure nothing was missed. Dr. Soneji took the time to go over every result with me, often more than once, and encouraged me to ask questions. Even when I was anxious and probably repeating myself, she listened patiently and addressed each concern. That level of attention made me feel heard and safe during a really terrifying time. What sets Dr. Soneji apart is their true combo of deep expertise and genuine compassion. I am incredibly grateful for their guidance, skill and kindness. Trusting someone with your heart is no small thing, and I can say without hesitation that I felt completely safe in Dr. Soneji's hands. Would highly recommend to family and friends and anyone looking for an excellent cardiologist!

Nisha K. Soneji, M.D. FACC…read more I was transferred to this dr due to consolidation and merging of sutter health's services which seems to be happening in all the sutter offices i go to. a dr. get 'promoted' into a job that had previously bee 3 jobs, and the priority is the cutting of costs and quality of svc.s. I am a disabled senior. My teeth have decayed and i have been trying to get care for them for 10 years via medicare/medical...... the way gov. newsome shifted control of medicaid funds to counties it seems has basically left a deteriorating system with no standards in each locality and no ethical standards. I informed Ms. Soneji about my concern that the infection in my gums is something i have been told is dangerous to my heart and brain in particular. She discounted this info, and said that she could tell my the EKG the nurse had just taken that i did not have an infection. From that point on i felt as though i had been designated by her as below her ( an untouchable ) and my concerns were discounted with condecension. This was after communicating my history with her. She then went on to use her 6 years (a new dr.) with the vets admin in TX as her godlike CV - she had said she wanted to see me in six months, but at the end she was extending that to she would see me in a year. This is tough because our healthcare has been destroyed for many of us in the U.S.. She made no effort to investigate the infection in my gums, and indeed the next day i ended up in the emergency room at my local hospital because my system has infection going through it and had gotten into an area around my ankle that blew up with swelling from cellulitis. In retrospect i feel going to her for cardiology care put me in danger and i hesitate to refer anyone to the Mark West region of Santa Rosa's Sutter Health. I would strongly recommend anyone with cardiology needs to NOT see this Dr. Is hiring Dr.s like this an intended intention of Sutter to dissuade people from getting health care - as it has that effect.

Once there he just passed her on to someone else! Referral could of been done with a phone call weeks earlier. When we did see him, he talked to us like we're second graders. Went on and on about background things, almost like trying for an "extended" appt. billling. Always seemed to be selling in house services; blood tests, iron transfusions, etc. Later (he's still her primary oncologist) said no hurry on treatment of bone metastasis and a week later she's in severe pain and needs opiods to even seek treatment. Try see him and forced to wait two hours past assigned appt. time. She's in too much pain to wait longer so we tell them we're leaving. No follow-up by him or his office. His slackness and inaccessibility made my mom's death very difficult. We were pretty much on our own.

AVOID - UNETHICAL AND UNPROFESSIONAL I am an eldercare…read moremanager. An important part of my job is to ensure a client's safety, capture vital medical information, and advocate for their well-being. Feb. 24, 2026, I planned to support a new 89-year-old client--who has moderate dementia and is very hard of hearing--during his visit to Dr. Saverio Roberto. Because of my client's cognitive and hearing challenges, having an advocate present to accurately track his care plan was critical. As a courtesy, since I had never met this physician, I provided information about my role and credentials, in writing, along with a legally signed authorization from his Power of Attorney to attend this appointment. Dr. Roberto flatly refused to allow me to accompany my client into the appt. I asked to speak to him, but Dr. Roberto refused to come out, choosing instead to repeatedly send his receptionist to relay his objections. To resolve the refusal on the spot, I got the client's Power of Attorney (his daughter) on the phone so the doctor could hear directly from her that I had explicit permission to be in the room. He still refused, absurdly claiming that because she wasn't in California, he couldn't accept the signed authorization or verify her identity over the phone. In my 35 years in the eldercare industry, I have never experienced such a blatant disregard for a vulnerable patient's safety and support system. His behavior was completely ludicrous, obstructionist, and counterproductive to patient care! We have happily changed doctors, and my client is now receiving excellent care. AVOID this doctor if you want your elderly loved ones to have their legal rights and advocates respected.
