Dr Solomon and his medical assistant were both so fantastic for my baby, wife and I. They gave us real answers since a procedure was optional and explained pros and cons in simple terms and made us feel so comfortable. It all started with the assistant who built so much rapport with us. I don't normally spend time completing these but we were beyond happy with the care our son and us received!

Dr. Solomon is always caring towards my child. He takes the time to listen to my concerns about my child's health concerns. The call center is more problematic. I guess when I called to make the appointment I spoke to someone who maybe was new or in training. I wouldn't know, but they were not helpful.

Dr.Solomon and his nurse were very attentive and interested in my son, they treated him like a normal kid and even with his speech delay they took their time to converse and initiate conversation with my son and took their time to understand him. It was an overall positive experience and the front desk receptionist was very patient and helpful as well

Yes, I liked that I was able to do my hearing test on the same day and they took me in a very timely manner. It went well, I was put back in the room and Dr. Solomon came in in a very timely manner and gave me the results. So that was the positive that I got out of it. The woman at the desk checking me out was delightful and I really enjoyed meeting her.
