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.
I don’t have a review because my appt was rescheduled. Not by me, but no one knows who…. I was scheduled for my mammogram and my annual on the same day, scheduled one year in advance. For some reason my annual was moved to another day. A day that I could not go. I have loved Dr. Solar for years but this really upset me.

My visits are always perfect. The staff. and his nurses are great. This is the best OB/GYN doctor in the business. When he retires, his replacement has to be really good.

Dr. Solar is an excellent physician. He saw me through a complicated pregnancy and has been a wonderful provider ever since. He always answers every question and makes me feel at ease. I recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing OBGYN.

I've been going to Dr. Solar since I was 18. He has delivered both of my kids and has always always been a kind and familiar face. He's incredibly knowledgeable and knows how to break it down to make anything he's about to do easy to understand. I absolutely adore his nurses as well. Quick to return calls and patiently answer any questions that I have no matter how silly I felt asking.

This was my first visit and I was immediately disappointed. He did not even greet me. Never looked at me. I felt extremely unimportant. The visit was rushed and he was very rough. I will not come back to his practice. P.s. His staff was friendly and polite

My visit was easy on time and i was in and out . Dr. Solar has been my GYN since 1999. He delivered one of my boys. He is is very caring and he listens . He has done two surgeries on me and i had no complication and he made rounds to see me and urgent calls are always answered timely . His nurse Tricia has been with him longer than i have and that says a lot . She is just as awesome !
