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.

Amazing Staff and patient communication
The friendliness and communication from the team at the surgery center was top-notch patient service. The whole process starting from the greeter, front desk, nursing team, anesthesiologist, and Dr Solmen was smooth and I’m extremely happy with the result of my surgery.

Major foot pain
I arrived with an issue causing major pain on the bottom of my foot. Totally expected Dr to see what was wrong and have me schedule again for treatment. NOT the case! Dr Solmen addressed my situation during that appointment. I was so pleased. Still healing. He listened. Explained and answered questions. I am very pleased with my care!

First Dr in over two years that would help me
He is the first Dr to help me in over two years. He was my fourth specialist and was very kind and listened to what I said. First time in over two yrs that I can finally walk with less pain. I have CRPS/RSD so the other Drs I saw just wrote me off. Dr Solmen listened and we ended up doing surgery and I can finally walk without wanting to scream with every step. Loveee this guy!! Can’t thank him enough!! Highly recommend him. Thanks again Dr Solmen!!

Simply the best!
Dr Solmen performed THREE surgeries on my feet and they feel excellent!! He is conservative in his treatment so doesn’t automatically schedule surgery if not needed. Not everything needs surgery! However when needed, he is a fantastic surgeon. I think I know of what I speak after three surgeries. Excellent in every aspect of his practice!! Terrific demeanor!

Dr. Solmen Is a Fantastic Surgeon
Dr Solmen repaired my broken ankle that I put off having surgery on for 7 years. The surgery took 2.5 hrs on Dec 14th, 2022 and I wasn't allowed to put weight on it for 10 weeks. I saw him for my last visit yesterday and everything was fused together perfectly. I do not have any pain in my ankle at all now. He is always professional and caring in every way during my office visits. I wouldn't let anyone else do surgery on me since I trusted him with my care over the 7 years. Infact, I just recommended him to my friend today because he is the best at what he does. May God bless him always.
