He brings many years of experience and expertise to the new Sheboygan Prevea Pulmonary Department. He attended medical school at the Unversidad del Valle in Cali, Colombia and completed his residency at the University of Illinois in Chicago. He was Chief Resident at Cook County Hospital in Chicago for a year before going to Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, where he completed a fellowship in Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine.

Dr. Soto was elected by his peers for inclusion in Best Doctors in America® from 2009 to 2010. Compiled by Boston-based Best Doctors, Inc., the Best Doctors in America® database is the result of an exhaustive survey of more than 45,000 physicians in the United States. Only those doctors recognized to be in the top 3-5% of their specialty earn the honor of being named one of the Best Doctors in America®. Doctors cannot pay to be included in the database and are not paid to complete the survey. The only way to be recognized as one of the Best Doctors in America® is for a doctor to earn high marks for clinical ability from his or her peers. This is the second time Dr. Soto has earned this prestigious honor.
