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.

Excellent experience
Dr. Soltes was very kind and made my mom feel comfortable. He was very professional and resolved my mom’s issue quickly and painlessly. We were extremely satisfied and recommend Dr. Soltes!

Im an IT analyst for a medical company and my mom is 92 and cant hear in her left ear, as a result she has ringing in that ear making it impossible to sleep. He spent 10 minutes with her to clean her ears only to tell us he cant help her. No discussion about hearing aids No hearing test Nothing Unbelievable ! The admin at the desk who checked us in (grey outfit ) was cold aloof and indifferent until hrr pizzza arrived. It was a waste of time doesnt suprise me as she is only following the example of the Dr. she works for. Do not waste your time here ! Bedside manners zero ! You guys are in the wrong business

Rude. Tried to overcharge me despite being in my network of providers. Obviously he had to know he was in my network as he is the only one who could have signed the contract! Really unethical. He wouldn’t return my balance to me until forced to do so.

I was able to schedule this visit same day. The doctor was very informative and clear while going over the reason of my visit. I felt very comfortable from the minute I completed my paperwork to the time I was leaving. I would highly recommend Dr. Soltes.

Dr. Soltes is thoughtful, and is not overly aggressive in terms of treatment strategies. His experience is also an asset

Appointment Jan 23, 2017. This was my first and last experience with Dr. Soltes. In my opinion he (1) lacks empathy and patience for new patients, not taking time to explain anything; (2) is curt (based on his responses to questions I attempted to ask); (3) was not professional, choosing instead to walk out of room instead of having patience with me. I understand this is just my experience and others may have better ones. I can only share mine. Overall if I was grading it would be C- or D

I bring my elderly mother to Dr Soltes and he is always patient and kind. Parking is a hassle at the Christ Hospital location. It is free but you have to walk a ways.
