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.

Dr. Solas replaced both of my knees. It's been 18 years and both are still doing great. He has also operated on my had, again he did a wonderful job. I still go see him whenever I have a problem. I would trust him with any problem that I have.

Knee replacement
likeable person. seemed confident. operation seemed to go well. had a physical therapist straighten my leg out the morning after the operation, felt like he tore things loose in my knee, hurt like he**. told Dr. Sola on Monday after friday operation. he did not seem concerned. two years later and it has hurt every day and things are popping and grinding in my knee. Does not feel like it will last another two years.

During my visit, Dr. Sola jerked on my arm very abrupt, and I was in extreme pain thereafter extending my rehabilitation. I would not recommend. Visit was rushed as if he was on a 3 minute timer.

He was dismissive, uncaring and barely saw my mother for 5 minutes, the entire time refusing to listen to the issues my mother was presenting.
