He did a great job explaining to my daughter that the situation that was going on in a way that gave her peace and understood all the next steps. So highly recommend.

Dr. Soldes was very thorough and made it comfortable and acceptable to ask questions. He spoke directly to the patient at appropriate times and directly to the parents when necessary. We appreciated Dr. Soldes communicating directly with our 11 year old son and letting him answer questions about his own body and symptoms. The outcome of the consultation was very favorable with no need for surgery, and he helped us understand what to look for in the future that would require another appointment or ER visit. We were grateful for his style of communication and easy going bedside manner.

When we left I felt that the doctor knew what the issue was and had explained what was needed to treat it. I left with a high level of confidence that he was competent and experienced.
