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.

My experience.
I would not recommend seeing Dr. Sola. I went to the visit after seeing an outside provider who did a biopsy and found an issue. I had also been to the ER for the issue. According to Dr. Sola, none of that is real and it must be a psychiatric condition. I gave my opinion that is not- because I have read about it and carefully considered anything that could be causing my issue. He cut me off while speaking so I looked up to the ceiling to detach from the horrifically uncomfortable situation. He then launched into a diatribe about whether I often 'look up' and experience such anxiety. I let him know that him not listening to me and making assumptions without doing any actual testing or spending any time beyond 10 seconds observing my skin made me feel upset. He claimed that there was 'no testing' to do. I asked him to put a referral in for a 'second opinion' since his was worthless and let him know that I would be writing about the experience.
What went well
