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.

Had 2 different eye surgeries over a 5 years span with best possible results.

He is unaware of staff problems
Dr. Solish is past his prime. He is not aware of the inefficient staff that mix up things so much it borders on dangerous to patients.

I cannot give enough positive comments about the EMG group in Portland, and Dr. Solish. From my first visit they all were very attentive, and Dr. Solish did such an amazing job on my eye that the trees in my neighborhood no longer look like they have cotton wrapped around them!! Thank you all??????

A wonderful doctor, in every way. He listened carefully to my concerns, was responsive, has a great staff, is clearly knowledgeable, and very careful. I've absolutely no hesitation in recommending him.
