Latricia Allen-Soto

Growing up in rural Kentucky, Dr. Latricia Allen-Soto witnessed first-hand the complications that can arise from lack of healthcare access. This led her to pursue a career as a physician. “My favorite part of my profession is not only having the opportunity to provide podiatric care and foot prevention education to my patients but also developing valuable relationships with them,” she says. She is passionate about preventative care and is dedicated to improving the quality of life of her patients. “My grandmothers always told me to treat my patients as family,” she says. In her free time, Dr. Allen-Soto loves spending time with her husband, two kids, and French bulldog. She especially enjoys painting, baking, and doing Zumba.
