Blue Root Acupuncture

I’ve been seeing Dr Soto for several months and have seen major improvements in my health. Every time I go for acupuncture I’m impressed by the care and compassion she shows. 100% recommend Blue Root!

I reached out to Dr. Sotos office for help with my Rheumatoid Arthritis. My symptoms were progressively getting worse and I was feeling tired, and had pain most days. Dr. Soto did a full evaluation and with the help of herbs and accupuncture, I am now living an active lifestyle that I missed out on for many years. Dr. Soto is not only knowledgeable in her field but she is also kind. I highly recommend Blue Root Accupuncture to anyone wanting to get to the root of their illness. Thank you, Dr. Soto and Hannah!

The prices are huge🤯🤯, there is no result😭. They milked me like a cow and made me pay more extras (supplements) exceeded the initial cost of the visit.A few weeks before the visit, they called me and urgently demanded that I pay at least half, claiming that they could cancel my visit😡. They did not even consider insurance as a payment option but suggested that I deal with the insurance company myself😡. I left a lot of $$$ for the three visits and my time. I will never return and will not recommend it to friends.

Had my first session of breathwork given by Dr. Soto. The effects were amazing! I have an autoimmune disease psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. After this session my pain was minimal. The psoriasis in my scalp was noticeable improving over the next several weeks. This is the most improvement I have ever had. Thank you Dr. Soto.

Before I heard about Transformational Breathwork, I was searching for ways to make my life more vibrant and heal parts of my soul, but couldnt put my finger on what exactly I needed to do that. Funny how the universe works because not too long after, Dr. Soto enlightened me on what Transformational Breathwork is - and even better, that she was becoming a breathwork coach. Immediately I thought and knew in my gut, This is what Ive been looking for!.Ive had a long term issue of the often need to clear my throat. After my first session, this reduced by 80-90%. I later learned that this was a blockage. Wow, after just one session?! Another benefit, my lung capacity increased. For the first time in years I was able to get a GOOD deep breath in. To add, I felt more connected with myself, had more confidence, less stress, and was able to get through lifes stress more easily when it arose. I even had realizations from childhood that came up days after - it was like some old dots connected. Try for yourself, the impact is the most unique and healing experience.

Words can not express how grateful I am for dr Soto , she has changed my life in many ways.. I started seeing her for treatments I believe at the end 2018 and I have seen her since. During my pregnancy I went in every week; at least once a month , my entire pregnancy was a breeze just knowing I had her support mentally and physically also knowing my baby was also getting treatments meant the world to me.dr Soto is so passionate about treating and healing she has taught me a lot about “life” coping skills along with treating me physically. Her staff is always so gentle and kind whoever she has working in the office has been a pleaseant experience. Hannah is the best and goes above and beyond making sure my schedule works with Dr soto and will take her time scheduling my appointments and making sure I have what I need! I make it a priority for my health to at least go in once a month.

Angela Soto is a phenomenal acupuncturist! She leads with her magnificent heart as a healer, customizes treatment plans to fit the needs of her clients and exudes joy in her passion for healing with love and empathy. She is literally one of the best acupuncturists that I have met in my life. (And I have traveled as far as NYC for some great care.)I have a chronic health condition that was diagnosed in 2019 called ulcerative colitis. I have explored the extent of over 7 different medicines of the Western standards for biologics and steroids. None of them were able to control my symptoms. I was hospitalized over 9 times to address the nature of my disease.One day as I was particularly frustrated and malnourished, I had a dental appointment as the drugs that I had taken depleted my calcium levels. My holistic minded dentist told me about an article he had read about rectal ozone therapy and how it restored the health of the colon. Intrigued I kept digging. I was at my last rope with living with this illness and nutrition was not helping me. I had a local acupuncturist that I went to for my anxiety in the town I live in and he told me that acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine can possibly cure the UC. That sealed it for me. I went on the hunt for acupuncturists that also used rectal ozone. Angela Soto was the only brave healer that used all three modalities, acupuncture, herbal medicine and ozone. I was so sick at the time with another UC flair that I called the office and had to delay making an appointment for several months. I had come unglued and miserable from isolation and hopelessness. I never gave up faith that the cure was inside of me and that someone could help.Then my true Southern GRIT came into play. I made the decision to walk away from pharmaceuticals with dangerous side effects and commit to finally heal. I never forgot how Angela Sotos office assistant; Hannah made me feel hopeful over the phone so many weeks earlier. She had the most comforting voice and made me feel less anxious.It has been 5 months now and I have been committed to my healing. I am overjoyed by the results and am finally able to eat better without pain or UC flairs. I am and always will be grateful for the continued support. Tuesdays are my self-care days. I consider this business a hidden gem in SC! I am still receiving care from Angela Soto and will continue to receive treatments. I wish Angela continued success. She has brought a lot of healing to her community! Bless her for her passionate heart!

Dr. Soto is very knowledgeable, thoughtful, and thorough. After two acupuncture treatments the arthritis pain in my hands was relieved. I’ve had five surgeries on my broken foot so there is a lot of scar tissue and the pain is starting to subside, so I’m so very grateful for her expertise !!!

I am so happy I found Dr. Soto. She has changed my life for good. I had acupuncture before but it wasnt anything like what Dr. Soto does. She is trully amazing.I had issues with my shoulder and back for many years. My shoulder is feeling great now and my back is feeling better. I have been working out for almost 3 month now and this wasnt an option before because my back and shoulders would get extremely inflammed. With her help I am feeling better and in a better shape. Thank you!!

I really hate to leave a bad review, but I was very disappointed by my experience at Blue Root Acupuncture. I hope that this review will offer some helpful information for others considering this practice. For some context, I have several chronic health conditions. I came for an acupuncture treatment with the hope of achieving some pain reduction. These are the issues that I encountered.First, the amount of pseudoscience is really staggering. While acupuncture is supported by medical science, they kept pushing so many alternative medicine treatments, herbs, add-ons, etc. In the new patient registration I had made it clear that I was only interested in acupuncture for my pain, but they really kept pushing all of their other treatment options. I wish that they had been a little more respectful toward my stated wishes, and not been so pushy.Second, their new patient evaluation process is really overwhelming. We had to pay half in advance to even schedule the appointment, and their intake forms took me over three hours to complete. The initial assessment time with the acupuncturist took over two hours. While we did talk through my various symptoms, most of the time was spent listening to her explaining her philosophy to me in extreme detail. So much about chi, chakras, balance of yin and yang, etc.When she would ask about my pain, she often seemed unsatisfied with my answers. Are you sure your migraine pain isnt centered here on your head rather than where you explained? Which muscle groups in your legs are you experiencing pain in? It cant possibly be how you are describing. It felt like she wanted me to change my pain descriptions to match her theory of what was causing my pain.When it finally came time to have my acupuncture treatment, she insisted that it was more important to treat my organs, which she believed to be the root of my pain, rather than treat the areas that I was actually experiencing pain in. I had made it very clear that my pain was quite severe, and poorly managed. That I wanted to focus on pain reduction first, but she really didnt seem to care. So, I received no actual reduction of pain from my first visit.To top things off, we found out after we had finished the treatment that there we no available appointments for over TWO MONTHS. They recommended that I see them once every week, but could only suggest that we watch for openings due to cancellations. You should not be offering new patient appointments if you are booked so far out that you cant offer your patients routine appointments.I may be wrong, but I seriously wonder if they are only offering new patient appointments because they charge so much for the initial visit ($355 separate from the cost of any additional treatment/acupuncture). I am very disappointed, but hope this review can save someone else from a potentially bad experience.

Highly recommend Blue Root! Dr. Soto and Hannah are kind, caring and make your health and well being their top priority.

I dont write many reviews, but this is one of the few times that I dont think there is enough space or stars to show my admiration for this practice. Dr. Angela Soto is truly talented doctor. Many people claim to be acupuncturists or know chinese medicine, but Dr. Soto is the REAL DEAL. Ive totally lost faith in traditional medicine, and after trying other practices that specialize in alternative approaches, I found Dr. Soto. She has helped me SO MUCH. Each time I go to this practice, I dont feel judged and they are the most PERSONABLE STAFF. A practice isnt just the doctor; its the STAFF. This office strikes the right, positive energy that few can emulate. After losing so much trust and faith in the brainwashed medical community after COVID, this is the place to be. THANK YOU DR. SOTO AND STAFF! YOU ARE THE BEST.

LOVE this peaceful & professional sanctuary! Dr. Soto & her team are genuinely caring… rare indeed. After trying many other options to address hip pain due to an accident 6 months prior, Dr. Soto’ s care was the answer! Furthermore, she has also been instrumental in helping improve my energy. Her knowledge of Eastern medicine, combined with an approach that is caring, personalized, practical and geared towards results has made this the best investment in my wellness!

Dr. Soto and associates do great work. Thorough, friendly, hard-working, a pleasure to do business with. More important, she has improved my health and made me feel better.

Dr. Soto has been successful in my complete recovery from painful recurring diverticulitis (10 times in 6.5 years). Previously, no other health professional had been able to adequately help me. Between the frequency of the attacks and awful prescription drug side effects, I was about to turn to surgery in desperation. Thankfully, I learned of Dr. Soto, whose level of expertise, caring, and healing methods made all the difference in how I felt. Acupuncture, herbs, and modifying what I eat and drink took a positive effect very quickly and, within weeks, I was a new person. It has been 14 months since my first appointment with Dr. Soto and I am feeling great, and I have had absolutely no bouts of diverticulitis the entire time. I am grateful for her attention to detail, utmost caring, and an expertise that has all made all the difference in my quality of life. Dr. Soto is the very best and I will be eternally grateful for her.

Before I started receiving Eastern medicine services from Dr. Soto I was in bad shape from head to toe. My sister in Jax, Fl. found Dr. Soto services Blue Root Acupuncture and referred me to her for Eastern medicine services. I am retired nurse practioner and I resided in South Carolina. I have fibromyalgia which is a chronic pain condition which caused other medical conditions such as GERD, migraines, joint pain, IBS just to name a few. I was taking so many medications the western medicine way for treating all of my mental and physical conditions. I was so tired of feeling anxious,fatigued, gaining weight, experiencing pain daily, being depressed and more. I wasnt getting better while taking so many medications with western medicine treatments for years. I was so blessed to find Dr. Soto and start receiving treatment for all of my issues. I received an appointment immediately. Dr. Soto listened and was very compassionate. I began to feel so much better coming off of all of the medications I was taking. Dr. Sotos plan of care for me was so perfect and detailed for me. I was began to wear clothes that I had not worn in years. My hair and skin improved, I started sleeping through out the night, I was no longer paranoid, anxious and gaining weight. I followed the meal plan Dr. Soto recommended for life. Acupuncture and special herbal treatments helped me mentally and physically. I was no longer having pain from head to toe. Dr. Soto was my blessing from God. Thank you Dr. Soto for your patience and sharing your gift of healing. Carla Walker

Dr Soto is very caring. You have no idea you have lots of needles in you due to her gentle and precise touch. I leave her office feeling like I have slept for a week but the appointment was only an hour.Dr. Soto is very patient and caring and spends so much time with you at each visit. I highly recommend Dr. Soto. I am a 54 year old female and she is helping me through a very tough period in my life.

When I found Blue Root Acupuncture I was desperate. Id spent a year and thousands of dollars on different strategies, healthcare professionals and professional grade supplements to alleviate my symptoms and get to the root cause of my issues. Within four weeks of starting acupuncture and the herbs she prescribed, I noticed a difference. Eight weeks later and Im still noticing continued improvement. Dr. Soto is an incredible healer. Shes incredibly thorough. She listened to me and explained what was happening better than any other medical professional Ive worked with (and I have a whole team). I cant recommend her enough. I genuinely look forward to each and every appointment.

Over the last three months I have been to multiple different specialist who all told me that what was causing my pain was not in their wheel house. I was impressed with Dr. Soto from the beginning because she did a through assessment taking into account all factors, but more importantly she listened. I have had acupuncture before but this is a more holistic approach than I experienced before. The staff is courteous, kind and understanding. But most importantly it has helped tremendously....last night was the first night in many months that I did not awake in the middle of the night in pain.

My experience with Blue Root Acupuncture has been nothing less than great. When I go in for an appointment, I am treated like a human with dignity and respect, not like a faceless customer or account. Dr. Soto has always made me feel at home and has earned my trust. Im a firm believer in holistic healing and have had great results when traditional treatments and addictive drugs have not. 5 Stars!

Four generations of my family use Blue Root because Dr. Soto is excellent!Have you been to countless doctors?Is your insurance expensive but you dont mind paying for relief?Does a massage help but you need more results?Are you allergic to pain medicine?Are you wanting a real solution?GO, Dr. Soto does her research and can help!Dr. Soto treated my 90+ year old grandmother for pain in her back and then went on to treat her for cancer pain since my grandmother was allergic to pain medicines that caused vomiting, therefore intensifying her long suffering.My mom has been to Dr. Soto for pain in her wrist and hip, and allergies. After years of having trouble breathing (from congestion), my mom is able to breath and live a more active life.I have personally traveled thousands of miles to utilize her proven relief and results. Dr. Soto has stopped my tennis elbow flair up ( I couldnt brush my teeth with my right hand), and she has worked diligently on the disks in my back. I travel to get treatments and the relief is immediate.My daughter has also been and found immediate relief from her ailments.Dr. Soto is passionate about her work, thorough in finding a way to heal individuals and provides lasting results!

I had my second treatment with Dr. Soto and I can already feel a difference! Dr. Soto really takes her time understanding your medical history along with all your concerns. I absolutely love her staff as well! I am excited to embark on this journey to good health! Thanks Dr. Soto for accepting me as a patient.

I have been to Dr Sotos clinic many times throughout the last several years. I was recently diagnosed with Lyme disease, and she was one of the only doctors who took my case seriously. When I first came to Dr Soto, my life was pretty much unbearable, with many symptoms that hampered my normal life . After a few months of treatment, I started to feel extremely different. I feel like I was able to have a normal life again, and the quality of life truly improved. I couldnt have done it without her. Dr. Sotos practice is very cutting edge, and takes advantages of treatments such as Ozoning and unique, custom formulated herbal blends . I would recommend her to anyone looking to improve their quality of life. Her practice is a true center for feeling, and my life has been changed for the better .

I saw Dr Soto for several years while she was in practice in Columbia, SC. She was kind and compassionate. She listened to what I said and did not rush or ignore my concerns, She was genuinely interested in my whole person and treatments were tailored as such.I would highly recommend Dr. Soto. I just wish she was still in Columbia.

My experience with Dr. Soto was remarkable. I had pulled a back muscle and tried to talk myself into thinking that a little ibuprofen was all I needed. Well, after lots of ibuprofen, much discomfort at my desk, and many sleepless nights, I’d had enough. I met Dr. Soto and explained my symptoms and she recommended acupuncture. After my first session, I was 75% relieved. After a few days, we did one more session and my backache was a mere memory. This doctor was excellent at calming my anxiety and apprehension, explaining each step, and getting me to relax. It was a most excellent experience and I highly recommend her.

Angela Soto is one of the most knowledgeable and caring healers I have ever met. Im a physician with nearly 20 years of experience, and her treatments have helped me as well or better than nearly anything else I knew to do for my joint pain. Id highly, highly recommend seeing her!

In praise of the rapid relief I received from Dr. Soto and the Blue Root Acupuncture staff. In June 2020, I visited Blue Root while suffering for months with horrible menopausal night sweats. I was waking up every hour in the night with intense hot flashes that would last for 15-20 minutes. It would take me 15+ minutes to fall back to sleep only to wake up again every hour! Dr. Soto recognized that not only was a suffering unduly from the flashes, but I also was not going into REM sleep and suffering from insomnia! Within 2 weeks of weekly acupuncture sessions and herbal supplements, my hourly flashes were reduced to every 2-3 hours and did not last as long. Within a month the flashes were reduced to once a night. After 3 months the flashes stopped completely! Meanwhile, I had a severe ankle and foot sprain / fracture in August 2020. I was in a walking boot and could put no weight on my foot. Dr. Soto used acupuncture and additional, specific herbal supplements to quickly reduce the swelling, allowing for more rapid healing. It was INCREDIBLE!

Dr. Soto is a beautiful healer. When I first found Dr. Soto I was constantly sick, especially with respiratory infections. I have asthma and severe allergies and Dr. Soto literally stopped me from having an asthma attack on her table with the use of acupuncture and ozone therapy. From my severe allergies, I chronically have sore throats but once I received the Lymphomyosot injections my throat was better within 15 mins. I also had terrible neck and back pain but after having gua sha and cupping therapy sessions I noticed immediate changes. I am so grateful for her healing energies. Erica

Dr Soto and staff are amazing!! Dr Sotos Accupuncture methods are incredible and they work!! I was skeptical of Accupuncture until I experienced Dr Sotos work. She has resolved physical issues in my body in a short period of time. She is very detailed and cares about her patients. She asks a lot of questions to get to the root of the problem. This is whole body Accupuncture, and I highly recommend Dr Soto!!

Angela Soto is an amazing resource for Columbia. Her expertise continues to amaze me and she brings advanced healing options from training all over the world. She has been treating me for several years and my children and I am so grateful. We have avoided antibiotics many times with her advice and care.

Dr. Angela is very professional, knowledgeable and takes the time to get to know her patients. She always made me feel comfortable and explained things thoroughly. Her staff is also professional and warm. I would highly recommend Dr. Soto to anyone looking to take charge of their health! Joanna S.

Dr. Angela Soto is a dedicated supporter of your well-being. She goes far beyond an acupuncturist because she truly listens and also wants the best for her patients. I came to her with a shoulder/neck injury that I have had for more than 30 years. Through ozone shots and acupuncture my flare-ups are almost completely gone. I can dance pain-free now! I am so grateful I found her!!

Dr. Soto is amazingly talented. She has helped me manage hot flashes (not so “hot” anymore), sciatica (gone!), lower back pain (gone!) & stress.The most poignant assistance she provided was with unexplainable post surgery swelling. A month after surgery I woke with major swelling, redness & pain.My doctor didn’t know what to make of it. It would be a month before a radiologist could see me.Dr. Soto made the swelling, pain & redness disappear in just 2 sessions (2 weeks) & I saved $$$ because the radiologist was no longer needed.

Dr. Soto took the time to get to know me during my visit. She used the history forms I had completed and applied it to my session and the plan for healing. It drives me crazy when doctors do not review all the forms they ask you to complete. Not sure the purpose of the forms if they are going to reinvent the wheel each time. She was very thorough in her explanation of the process and she made sure to cover all my questions. The only thing that I wasn’t aware was the recommended herbal therapy the assistant presented me with after my session. This was my first acupuncture experience. Newbie! I do remember seeing herbal remedy is part of the treatment on their website before my visit. It didn’t dawn on me to ask during my session about the herbal therapy part of the process. Dr. Soto is incredibly energetic about the process and is truly devoted to holistic medicine.

I found Blue Root Acupuncture from a Google search. I could not be happier. The staff shows professionalism with all clients, and go the extra mile to ensure you are cared for. Angela Soto is not only gifted in her field, she truly listens and takes the time to find the root cause of your pain. She has provided relief from pain I have dealt with for years. I highly recommend Blue Root!

My husband Jim has had several prolozone treatments for his hip and lower back with Dr.Angela Soto with excellent results. Angela is very thorough, skilled, personable and worked tirelessly to find the root cause of his pain. . He drives 200 miles for these treatments and the drive is worth every mile. He is in less pain and has more flexibility that he has had in years. She and her staff are very passionate about what they do and could not be more help. I highly Blue Root Acupuncture. Jim H

Dr. Soto and her staff are wonderful!I found Dr. Soto after I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and I am so grateful I did. She is a very caring, knowledgeable, and honest doctor that takes time to get to know you, listens to you, and answers all your questions in a detailed manner. She is always bussy, but she is never in a rush. She has helped me tremendously to get through chemotherpay with minimal side effects. I am amazed with the wonders her acuputnre and ozone therpay do to my body. I highly recommend Blue Root Acupunture!

I saw Dr Soto for neck and shoulder pain. She used needles and cupping and it was wonderful. I had a second treatment and my pain has been gone for over two months. She also has helped with pain in my knee using acupuncture. Acupuncture has worked much better than massage (which I used to get on a regular basis) and lasts much longer. I can highly recommend Dr Soto. She and her staff are professional, friendly and caring.

“I only wish I had gone here sooner” is the main thought I have regarding Blue Root Acupuncture,. I’ve struggled for years with back pain that would never let up. I’ve received other treatments and taken a lot of pills down through the years which had little long-term effect. I am now pain free, and it only took a few months with Dr. Soto to experience a complete turn around in my health. I received all the help I needed with pain relief and discarding the long list of pharmaceuticals I was taking, but I’ve also received so much more. Dr. Soto has treated the true cause of my ailments (including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and more). I wasn’t fully aware of some of the issues she knew needed correcting, but I feel like I’m half my age after her treatments and following her advice. I can easily recommend Dr. Soto at Blue Root Acupuncture to anyone who wants to take charge of their health!

I LOVE Dr. Soto!!! She truly cares about her patients, making you feel like a member of her extended family, not just a name on a chart. I enjoy my sessions so much. Ive had the gua sha and cupping. But my primary reason for going was acupuncture. I feel so much better after my treatments. Truly one of the best things I have done for myself.

Ive been a patient of Dr. Sotos for almost 2 years and it has been a wonderful experience from day !. She is very knowledgeable about the holistic approach to healing the body as a whole. Shes made me feel so comfortable and is always a pleasure to chat with her about anything thats going on.

Had my first ever acupuncture today. I was a little nervous but I must say Angela was amazing. I really enjoyed the whole experience. She really cares about healing people. She explained everything very well and I am feeling better already. I was worried about the pain but it really felt great. My shoulder has been hurting for the past year and nothing I did seemed to help. Angela said I should be back to working out hard and no pain in 4 to 5 sessions. After my first session I must say I believe her. I’m looking forward to our next session. I would recommend to anyone and everyone that has pain or problems to give Angela at Blue Root Acupuncture a chance to heal you!

Blue Root Acupuncture is amazing! Dr. Soto, heard me and listened to my whole back pain history. The relief in just being heard and understood is such a weight off anyones shoulders. After a couple of visits everything improved from my sleep to my neck/whole back pain. Dr. Soto tailored the treatments to me and wasnt just another person with the same chronic pain.If you have tried all other options give Blue Root Acupuncture a chance to help you. They will help and find a way.

I have been seeing Dr. Soto since Oct 2020. I had a bad disc in my neck and back. She has helped my pain go away for good. She is presently working on other issues, such arthritis in my fingers and hands etc. She has also helped my wife as well. I highly recommend Dr. Soto , she is very professional and her prolozone therapy works great!

Ive really enjoyed my experience here. I have to admit I went to Dr. Soto mostly curious about what acupuncture was like. Im so glad I went! I was skeptical about her diet recommendations but I followed her instructions and she was right on. Dr. Soto takes her time going over ALL the paperwork and the acupuncture session is so relaxing. Ive never been to another acupuncture session so I have no comparison, but I dont need to because I can go back to her. Even if you just want to experience acupuncture or gua sha, GO! I love it for stress and depression treatments.

The relief from pain in my knee, hip and neck has been unbelievable. The overall feeling of wellbeing from all the different treatment options is so exciting and joyful and because of those different options I have so much hope that I can continue on a path of healing without surgeries and drugs. What a pleasure to be fully aware of my body as it seeks its own path to natural healing. Dr Soto- thank you for your care and devotion and girls-I am so proud of you and to know you. I love you all! Suzanne Starks

Dr. Soto is amazing. Not only has she provided me amazing relief from Sciatica but she has spent countless hours researching and then establishing a treatment plan for a rare disorder called Hereditary hemochromatosis. She listens, educates and helps - highly recommended

As a patient of Dr. Angela Soto I have been treated for many different ailments; migraines, vertigo, sciatica, etc. She has cured me of all those and now Im excited about the Prolozone injections to heal my bum knee! After just two injections, my right knee is so much better! Almost all pain is gone and I feel it getting stronger each day!! Super news because Im a hairdresser and was looking at a lot of down time if I had had to have surgery. Thanks again Angela! Prolozone is the way to go!!

Being someone who knew nothing about Acupuncture until I met Dr. Soto, I was amazed to not only see and hear her patients rave and rant about their health improving, but I have also been treated several times and have had much success with her treatments . From traditional acupuncture services, to cosmetic acupuncture and ELR for facial rejuvenation, and an Ion cleanser to cleanse out toxins, its no wonder that Dr. Soto was voted Best Acupuncturist by the State Newspaper in 2014 . Way ahead of the curve .

I came to Dr. Soto office a couple of years ago with knee and back issues from sports and a bad car accident. I was searching for other options besides western medicine. A co-worker referred Dr. Soto to me knowing i was open to trying something new.My first visit with Dr. Soto lasted over three hours, close to four. She took the time to get to know me, understand and explain my injuries. She informed me how acupuncture and pro ozone therapy could help me.I loved to play basketball. I remember the day my orthopedic doctor told me those days where over. The tread in my knee was done, due to a lack of cartilage tissue in my knee. Dr. Soto told me with pro ozone therapy she could give me my knee back to play basketball again. I was skeptical but remained open to try.She was right, not only with my knee but my back as well. With my car accident injury,i was told i would have to constantly have my back adjusted in order to deal with the pain while sitting for long period at a time and sleeping.Acupuncture and pro ozone therapy has help me greatly and im pain free, thanks to Dr. Soto care.Kendall McCord

I came to Blue Root a few years ago for lower back problems. Since then I have been pain free until just recently. I am now returning for Dr. Soto to treat my back pain and it has already improved. I look forward to being pain free again soon.

Dr Soto and her team are so amazing! I love how everyone is so friendly! Dr. Soto takes the time out to listen to your health concerns and does everything to resolve the issue(s). Thank you to everyone!

Blew me away!! I heard about Blue Root and Dr. Soto from my wife. I went to check it out as a pretty big skeptic. The main problem that I had was a tingly aching feeling in my hand and forearm, I was sure that I had carpal tunnel. After the consultation, Dr. Soto told me she did not think I had carpal tunnel and she was sure that she could fix me up quickly and make that feeling go away. Within my first week of my treatment, I no longer had that feeling. This was after a few months of taking anti-inflammatory pills and wearing a carpal tunnel brace! My 2nd time in, I went with a cold or a bug(I was sure it was the flu) and I got the treatment, this time on a different part of my body and she prescribed me some herbs which I purchased. I took them as prescribed and I beat the cold in 3-4 days. My wife got the same cold as me and was down for the count for like 2 weeks(I tried to send her in for acupuncture lol). My next project to tackle with Dr. Soto will be the back pain which has been a constant in my adult life. I am pleased to say that my experiences with Dr. Soto and her staff have been extremely pleasant and I would happily refer any of my friends or neighbors to her!

Dr. Soto is truly amazing! She genuinely cares about your health and will take the time to answer your questions in detail. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for holistic doctor!

Been treating with Dr. Soto for almost 5 years. Dr. Soto has changed my health and my outlook on medicine. Its amazing, if you follow her instructions, go to regular visits and take the herbs consistently; it just works.About 6 months ago, Dr. Soto recommend her Prolozone Injection Therapy, for my severe neck pain. It was 2 sets of injections, approx. 2 weeks apart, with visits 2-3 days afterwards for both. The injection site was numb that night and I had to take it real easy for a couple days; but after that - nothing. No pain or no discomfort - its as if I never even had a problem. Even after a few months, everything is still great... no re-occurrence, my neck really has healed. I wish id done the Prolozone injections sooner.

Dr Soto is caring and profesional. Her office is beautiful and she offers some really “unconventional” treatments that are highly effective, in my case that was Prolozone. I highly recommend if you have soft tissue injuries. Thank you Dr. Soto!

Dr. Angela Soto is such a caring, conscientious and competent acupuncturist and I highly recommend her and Blue Root Acupuncture! Dr. Soto knows her stuff! We are very fortunate to have her in Fort Mill.

I have suffered with right shoulder pain for years.I have tried Physical Therapy, along with Chiropractic Care with no successA friend suggested I try Acupuncture. I did call Dr. Soto at Blue Root Acupuncture in Fort Mill, SC. I was interviewed by Dr. Soto. Dr.Soto set a plan in place to get my body to heal itself. After my 3rd secession my pain was gone. I have been pain free for the past 6 weeks.Thank you Dr. Soto.James Dingus

Dr. Soto is great she is a perfectionist in everything she does. She takes time with you to figure out your problems and find the best acupuncture channels to not only bring you pain relief but heal your body.

My favorite things about going to Blue Root is Dr. Soto is awesome, and has extensive knowledge in her specialty. She takes the time to listen to what is going on with your entire body, including mind, in between each session, and will adjust each treatment to fit your needs at each visit. She has plenty of resources to help get you better and the quality of her care is top notch.Heres my story...Ive been going to Blue Root Acupuncture for 2 1/2 years, for chronic sinusitis, allergies, asthma, COPD and a chronic ear infection. After my 2nd sinus surgery, my ear would still not clear up, despite antibotics and prednisone. I had a fresh start with the 2nd surgery, but needed something more than just the medications (as they didnt work alone after my first surgery).With my lengthy background, Dr. Soto took a few hours to go through my first appointment (mine was a complex case), but she was very thorough, discussed a plan and options for acupuncture, herbs, diet, and exercise.After my 2nd or 3rd acupuncture treatment, my ears opened up completely for the first time in over 6 months (before that day, they were mostly swollen and full feeling), and I knew I was on the right track. On and off, my ears would feel full, but gradually the would be less full longer and longer.My health continued to get better and better with each treatment. My breathing improved, and side effects of my (western) medications decreased dramatically. My quality of life improved significantly- my chronic cough- instead of being daily, only happens in heavier pollen seasons, and its much more manageable. I have more energy and have been able to take up running (5k and half marathon running- Im not fast, but Im moving)!About two months ago, I was able to come off almost all of my herbs, as my body has been healing. I just use them as needed when I go outside for extended periods on heavy pollen days. My ears are open on the regular now. Im in the process of cutting back on my treatments because Im not needing them as much any more.I am so grateful to Dr. Soto and her staff for helping me feel and be healthy again, more than words can describe.

I was desperate, with a torn meniscus and could hardly walk. Very painful! I had a scheduled motorcycle trip that I did not want to miss. So I agreed to the Prolozone injection into my knee joint. Within a minute after the injection I had no pain and full range of motion!!! I stood up and hugged Dr. Angela!Im not saying I was healed, but I had no pain and full range of motion. And I fully enjoyed my motorcycle trip. Its time for my next injection and I am looking forward to healing and avoiding surgery.I highly recommend her and the procedure.

Dr. Soto is amazing!! She really goes over in detail your symptoms, what is causing the symptoms and has amazing knowledge on how to help so many conditions. I would highly recommend her.

Dr. Soto helped me and my wife regain our health after dealing with allergies, thyroid issues, and stress. We are very thankful to her and definitely recommend Dr. Angela Soto to others.

I was very impressed with the amount of time Angela spent with my medical history and information. I was a new patient, and was not told ahead of time that they were moving in 4 weeks. I wish I had known this before starting treatment here, Id have gone somewhere else from the start. I also felt that much of my time following the initial review of my history was a sales pitch for the treatments she wanted me to pursue, form injections to the herbs. And when I refused the injections, I was reminded of them several more times afterwards in case I changed my mind. I ended up being given chinese herbs and teas - 6 bottles of them - as well as a special tea just for me. At first this seemed great, personalized, until my bill came. Also, I realized that I may be allergic to many of the ingredients since I have severe allergies to anything that grows outdoors. When I expressed this concern, I was told that herbs are food and different than pollen. So I paid my bill and left. I did try 2 of the herbs this morning, and have been sweating and nauseous since 7:30 AM. My acupuncture session itself was fine, however, I was completely turned off by the other parts of my experience as they were not relaxing, I felt like I was in the middle of a sales pitch also realizing they would be leaving in 3 weeks time now. I am glad other patients have had great success, I will not return.

This time last year I had experienced multiple surgeries over a three year period and was on my second year-long course of antibiotics. I was a mess! Dr. Soto helped me to regain energy, which allowed me to restore my lifestyle.

I am very happy with the friendly and professional care I received at Blue Roots Acuponcture in Fort Mill. I only worked with Angela, who I highly recommend: details oriented, thorough, knowledgeable and caring. She has improved my wellness tremendously. I do believe that her whole staff is as wonderful.👍🏻👍🏻

Dr. Soto is great at acupuncture, as well as being truly concerned about you and your health. She is one of the few doctors that actually uses your history questionnaire filled out at your first visit.

It works, seriously works. I have had 3 treatments to treat depression, anxiety and insomnia I have experienced for the past 20 years. After the 1st treatment I slept like a baby without waking up during the night, my anxiety was almost completely gone and my depression has not been an issue at all since the first treatment. I have energy to function again and am not in tears without any hope. No prescription drugs have been safe.for me to take, other than something for sleep. Staff is wonderful and Dr.Soto(Angela is very kind and personable). She even overlooked my unpainted toenails that needed some serious attention. No judgement or empty promises at this office and the needles dont hurt. I have an issue with needles and this is easy peasy. Would have done this years ago if I had known about it. Cant say enough about acupuncture and this office. Life changing for me, finally!

I highly recommend going to Blue Root Acupuncture. Dr Soto spent a lot of time with me going over my medical history and personalizing a treatment plan for my pain. So happy that I found her! Thank You Dr. Soto

Dr Soto is great. Very knowledgeable and explains everything thoroughly

Really love working with Dr. Soto and her clinic. Professional, results oriented, and very caring for her patients. All she does is rooted in healing. Love working with this clinic!

Dr. Soto, in Fort Mill, SC, has treated me with acupuncture/herbal meds for various problems, including topical infection from prescribed antibiotics andpain from a back injury. Most recently, I have returned for acupuncture for headaches that didnt respond to traditional medication. The combination of acupuncture and herbal meds has eliminated my discomfort and made it possible to get back to work.

My wife and I saw Angela for almost a year before she moved offices. Angela and her staff were some of the most knowledgeable and understanding individuals that I know of in the Healthcare setting. I would recommend Angela to any and every one. She is truly a miracle worker and she does it by listening to your bodys needs.

Dr. Soto is a very well trained expertise in traditional medicine. Dr. Soto utilize her knowledge and professionalism helping patients recovery from diseases and pain.

Ive had a laundry list of health issues for the last 5 years. Blue Root has helped me with all of them, namely IBS, chronic knee pain, low energy, spasms and cramps. I began seeing results after the first few visits and no longer need to take Nexium daily. My wife is also seeing great results. I submit all my bills to my insurance company and they actually reimburse me. I was paying out of pocket at first and it was worth every penny but now that Ive found out that my insurance covers acupuncture its even better. Try it, especially if you have a chronic condition. I never liked the idea of taking a pill for the rest of my life

I had a shoulder pain for years. When I visited Blue Root acupuncture I thought it would take many treatments to help with the pain but it only took two treatments and I had total and free movement and no pain I was amazed at what acupuncture can do.

I was suffering from Plantar Fasciitis when I came to Blue Root. After my consultation I choose to treat with acupuncture and gua sha. I wanted a treatment that wasnt invasive. It took a few months, but I am so happy with the results.

Very professional - really enjoyed my visit. The acupuncture treatment I received was the best I have ever had. Taking supplements to improve my immune system. Anxious for my next visit. Very courteous staff. Would highly recommend.

Ive been treated by a lot of acupuncturists, but Dr. Soto is unique. My shoulder had been messed up for about 6 months. Dr. Sotos office is nearby, so I gave her a try. Unlike any other acupuncturist, she spent 15 minutes doing range of motion analysis, marking on my shoulder the specific pain points with the different movements. She then placed the needles, mostly around my ankle and mid-treatment, had me sit up and duplicate the range of motion exercises. Many of them no longer hurt, and the ones that did, she palpitated a needle or two until the pain stopped. I went back for fine tuning treatments, but after that first treatment, I could move my arm again freely.

Last year I had terrible pain with a pinched sciatic nerve and went to Blue Root where I underwent a procedure twice having a prolozone injection after Angela Soto explained it all to me....this was the best possible treatment and worked so well, was so thankful to have it done .

Great staff and treatments have helped me substantially. In grateful I found Blue Root Accupuncture. It isnt easy finding a good acupuncturist.

EDIT*** AFTER last visit I changed my mind drastically!!!!! Dr Angela Soto, dressed down employee in my presence and I realized ... patients were Cash Cows have switched DrsAnd nope not going back!!!!

I go here for massage therapy by Tallmans Therapeutic Massage and he is awesome! The reception personnel is aways friendly and greet you with a smile.

I’ve had issues with my back for over 10 years and this is the first place that I’ve actually seen any relief or progress with it. Highly recommend, it’s nice to find a place where they really care about their patients.
