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.

He doesn’t look at other records
I had spinal surgery 5 years ago and almost paralyzed my back from waist to left foot. I will need a fusion. I also have bone on bone in my neck. I was diagnosed with PTSD after I went through major problems with my back. It’s gotten worse sense then. I worked 20 years and my spine proved the kind of work I did. He is awful to me. I fought hard through delta and Omnicron and was severely dehydrated. I went to the er before finding out I had asthma and they told me they knew I was severely dehydrated and told me I could come in whenever I wanted to get iv’s. He found my asthma with a test after that and my brain has undergone so many changes. Everyday is different for me. I still need to see a neurologist because of my brain and nerve damage from my spine. He just dismissed everything. I want a doctor on my side especially after that. I’m changing doctors. My legs were falling asleep every morning and I thought I was going to die. A Covid nurse told me told me to get iv drips.

Uncaring
On my first visit to see Dr. Soliman, he seems to be in a hurry. He questioned my previous diagnosis without giving reason other than he could not find records. When I told him the testing had been done at the hospital he works at, and the year the testing was done, all he said was 'We don't keep records that long'. When he was informed that two previous CT scans showed changes in my lungs, I was told that only the last scan done means anything the previous scans were not relevant in treating me. If you take an interest in your health care you should look for a different Doctor. I will say the staff, except Dr. Soliman's nurse, was very pleasant and seems to care.

WORST doctor I have ever seen
Do NOT go to this office. After my experience, I ended up crying in the bathroom. When I first arrived, I was greeted by a woman who was incredibly rude, laughed in my face and accused me of lying about reaching out to them. When I pulled up the call I made to them and the time, she refused to even acknowledge my existence. I asked if she wished to look at the screen and she said “no”. Then while on the phone, talking about the call I made, which despite the clear physical evidence I had in front of her, she continued to believe I made up and LAUGHED on the phone about me. When I finally got into the office, the doctor spent a whole TWO minutes with me, refusing to treat me because of having a past with mental health struggles. He then told me to lose some weight. I feel completely unsatisfied by my visit and immense shame and hurt. If you want to be treated humanly, DO NOT GO TO THIS OFFICE.

Condescending, didn’t listen, too quick to prescribe CPAP for very mild apnea, didn’t inquire why device returned. If need further service, will request another physician.

Dr Soliman took no time to understand that, in addition to lung cancer,my 86-year-old mother has altzheimer's and other serious conditions. Appointments exhaust her, leaving her withdrawn and agitated. She doesn't know who he is or why we are there. Lately she has refused to leave home for any reason. Yet he expected her to come in to get results of a PET scan... When I showed up without her, he was angry, rude and told me not to bring her back to him. No problem. I didn't intend to

Dr. Soliman saved my life in 2013 when I went into respiratory failure. I had pneumonia and a strain of influenza that was not covered by the influenza vaccine that I received that year. For years, I was not CPAP compliant, my asthma untreated--until Dr. Soliman found the right combination of CPAP and medicines. Today, I am able to walk a mile (in cooler weather, of course) without any issues. I owe this Doctor my entire life. Thank you, Dr. Soliman.
