HE is an ostentatious human being, whom thinks he's better than anybody that sees him. took my 94 year old grandmother there for a biopsy, he was arrogant and rude. He did not answer ANY of her questions and is severely ageist, as he said being that you're 94, I don't see the need to remove any more skin cancer. The skin cancer is causing her to lose sleep as it is very painful. In doing the biopsy he numbed her and as quick as the numbing needle was out he was carving away at her without giving the solution ample time to set in. She was dealing over in pain, than he has the audacity once finished to say " why are you still crying i finished 2 minutes ago." Horrible unprofessional doctor. I DO NOT RECCOMEND.

I had more than one terrible experience with Dr. Solomon so I thought it was time to share my latest experience so that nobody else has to suffer like I did…First of all, trying to make an appointment is always ridiculous (most of the receptionists that I've dealt with have been horrible and seem to have no idea how to even make a simple appointment). Next, when I finally went in for my latest appointment, I had to wait for a long time while listening to the receptionists babble to each other about what they did the night before (very inappropriate by the way). When I went into the examining room, I waited for the doctor and when Dr. Solomon finally came in, he did not even come over to examine me. He sat down, asked me what was wrong, I told him, and then he "diagnosed" me from afar. He never got within 4 feet of me. He prescribed an ointment for me and then left the room. On my way out, I heard another inappropriate conversation coming from behind the front desk and also heard and saw a woman yelling at someone in front of everyone. Great managerial skills…really.

Then, last week, I had a billing inquiry and called to speak with someone in billing and was told that the entire department was on vacation…how could anyone let an entire department go on vacation at one?!?!?!?!? STUPID!

I will never return to this office after all of the inappropriate behavior that I've witnessed and how horrible the doctor's bedside manner is.

DO NOT GO TO HIM, every if you are desperate!!! I wanted to give no stars for the review but it makes you select at least one.

I cannot stand this man. Never have I met such a pretentious person in my life! For 13 years I have put my health in the hands of Dr. Solomon and his PA, Ameet Perez. For that time, I have been treated as a lower-class citizen simply because I do not put on the same ostentatious show that Dr. Solomon quite enjoys doing in his office and personal life. His track record stuns me; how can a man with so many qualifications and such a reputation have no idea what he's doing? And forget being friendly! He's always sarcastic and rude, once judging me for an answer I gave to a required sexual health question for a specific medication (I know, it's SHOCKING that I'm abstinent, Dr! Thanks!). I always leave the office feeling belittled and confused. You would think after 13 years under the care of a man with such a professional track record my skin condition would be fixed. Not a chance! I've recently given up (13 years too late) and gone elsewhere. I wouldn't even consider this man if I were you!

Dr. Solomon was very informative. It was very easy to make an appointment, and once there I only had to wait for a couple of minutes. The staff was kind and acted in a professional manner. We discussed a treatment for a rash that has been on my chest, and within a week it was completely gone. Thank you Dr. Solomon. Definitely recommend.

They really go above and beyond to make me feel special. I've never been anywhere that seems to care more about their clients than here. Dr Solomon is punctual. He is smart and doesn't waste my time.They always have an immediate answer for me when I call with a question. They were very sympathetic to my situation, and made me feel cared for. The level of care is outstanding. They had a huge selection of magazines and I was able to find some of my favorites and they kept me entertained while I was waiting for my appointment.

The fish in his tank have more compassion and personality than Dr. Solomon. He barely gave me any information at all. He must have been in a hurry to use the bathroom, because he didn't ask any questions, and left the room in a FLASH. Is this guy a real DR? I'm going to have to do my own research to get my questions answered.
