Dr. Cordelia Lieberman Sotelo, MD
Founder, New Cadence Healthcare
Meet Dr. Cordelia Sotelo
I’ve proudly served the Long Beach community as a physician since 2006. I grew up in Los Angeles, attended UC Berkeley for my undergraduate studies, and was inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa honor society.
I earned my medical degree from the UCLA-David Geffen School of Medicine, earning induction into the Alpha Omega Alpha honor society. After completing my residency at Long Beach Memorial, I became Board-Certified in Family Medicine in 2009 and spent 15 years caring for patients at Family Healthcare of Long Beach, which later became part of Optum.
Hi! I ´m
Dr. Sotelo.
Your personal doctor at
New Cadence.
Why I Founded New Cadence Healthcare
Over the years, I watched patients face increasing barriers to quality care — from long
wait times and rushed appointments to impersonal call centers and restrictive insurance
rules.
My patients and I shared the same frustrations: we were losing the personal connection
that drives exceptional care. That’s why I founded New Cadence Healthcare — a
membership-based primary care model designed to restore that relationship and put
patients first.
My Approach to Care
- Time to Listen: Longer appointments designed for meaningful conversations.
- Direct Access: Call, message, or portal — we’re here when you need us.
- Comprehensive Support: From preventive care to chronic disease management, your care is always tailored to you.
- Proactive Wellness: A model built around prevention, lifestyle guidance, and patient education.
Why Membership Matters
By moving away from traditional insurance limitations, I can:
- Provide same-day or next-day appointments
- Offer unlimited visits and extended appointment times
- Maintain a smaller patient panel for more personalized attention
- Focus on prevention and wellness instead of reacting to illness
At New Cadence, my goal is simple: to deliver accessible, personalized, high-quality care for every patient.
