Soha Dolatabadi, MD

Advanced care to change lives
“We are fortunate to live in an era where we can change the lives of our patients with rheumatologic disease. They now have a higher and longer survival rate and a better quality of life.”
Like a detective solving complicated mysteries
“I enjoy the detective work, the challenge of solving complicated and mysterious health problems. I enjoy helping relieve my patients’ pain and discomfort while improving their quality of life. I enjoy having a good rapport with my patients, listening to their concerns and answering their questions. I want them to feel at ease and to understand their medical problem. I want them to be involved with their treatment and know that we are a team who can reach their goals.”
An open mind and a different perspective
“I hope to give my patients hope, motivation and a better quality of life. I am open to their non-medical holistic questions, suggestions and concerns, too. I give them a different perspective, not just as a doctor, but as a human being who believes in spirituality, mind power, good nutrition, physical activity and music as integral parts of our health and well-being.”
