Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

It's like I am a new patient every time I see her
She doesn't remember from visit to visit. She says she is going to refer for something and it never get done. She says she will order tests and that doesn't get done. I have tried her for several years, and I am through. Searching for someone who is competent.

We have been Dr. Soloniuk's patients for 24 years. We even followed her from Hanford to Visalia. She was my doctor for both of my pregnancies as well as the doctor for both of my babies. Yes, she can be abrupt, and even short at times. This is due to so many people coming to her with medical issues that they don't want to face, and therefore do nothing to help fix themselves. You can only lead a horse to water... EXCELLENT DOCTOR AS LONG AS YOU, THE PATIENT, DO YOUR PART!!!!!

Dr. Soloniuk Tays has been my family doctor for close to 15 years. I have not always been an easy patient; at times, I have been a diagnostic challenge. My health issues have ranged from common, minor illnesses to life threatening hospitalizations. No matter what, she was there. She has hospital privileges. She's no-nonsense but has a good sense of humor. She's sharp as a tack, really knows her stuff and means business. I have mad respect for her and hope she never retires!

Worst scheduling ever. They over book and then you wait for hours just to be called back and wait even longer in an exam room.

She doesn't take the time to listen. She berates and lectures about lifestyle or habits. She has told me that I won't live another 10 years due to my over-eating. When I have asked for various diet pills that friends have recommended, she says no because she is worried the danger but then she keeps nagging me about getting, the more invasive and more dangerous, stomach bypass surgery. I stay with her because it's easier than trying to find another doctor and she gives adequate care.

Verbally abusive to me because I went to Stanford for a second opinion. Led me to believe that I may be terminal when I was not. She put me and my family through hell
