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.

Don't Go to Him!
My initial annual appointment was canceled twice by Dr. Solomon's office. Two weeks later I was finally seen and needed a biopsy for a troubling 'mole.' I finally got the results 11 days later and required a Mohs procedure for a form of skin cancer that had to be removed. The earliest date I could get for the procedure would be nearly 7 weeks after my initial visit! Sutures removal were to be 2 weeks after that. I was scheduled for that, but that appointment was also canceled by his office and had to be rescheduled! The delays, the worries about the diagnosis and follow-ups, the constant fears that further appointments would need to be canceled and rescheduled and, of course, the constant discomfort from the procedure itself, resulted in almost 3 months of extreme emotional distress that I should never have experienced.

He told me he was giving me 4 different, newer stronger meds this time and blurted out some Rx's to his assistants (whom he had been waiting for since he said one minute to me) and that was it. When I got the prescriptions two of them were the same as the earlier ineffective prescriptions from months ago; the third was a shampoo, which my insurance didn't cover and cost a lot of money. I was upset and left him a phone message saying that despite telling me he would Rx me much stronger and much more helpful Rxs, two of them were the same as earlier Rxs he gave and I needed to know why. This showed me he ignored my ailments; did not check my chart or demonstrate any care or concern for me. Two days later his assi
