Ricardo Solis MD

After waiting 45 minutes past my appointment and only because I asked more than once did they finally take me to an exam room and told the doctor would be here in 5 minutes and after 15 minutes waiting for the doctor did I finally get up and leave.
There is no excuse. There were only 2 other patients before and one left after 20 minutes while I was waiting in the lobby.
I wish now I had read the comments on Unilocal before making the appointment with this doctor.

I would give 0 stars if it would allow it. I have posted on here several times and it continues to be removed or moved down. Dr. Solis performed surgery on me in Oct. 2012. My family hated his bedside manner the night of my surgery. This was the only interactions with him bc he never returned to check up on me. I had complications and remained in the hospital for 10 days instead of the 4 – 5 that he indicated prior to surgery. His partners provided my post surgery care. After my release, I had to return by ambulance for emergency surgery due to internal bleeding. I required transfusions before I was stable enough for another surgery. My next surgeon at the ER saved my life and found out my spleen had been nicked by Dr. Solis. I was in ICU for 10 more days and lost down to 98 lbs. I went in at 120. I am 5’9″ and was unable to walk for several months due to muscle loss. Dr. Solis never checked back with me until the office called to confirm my post surgery appointment that I had scheduled prior to surgery. I have been in correspondence with the Medical Board. He should be held responsible for his actions. Please BE AWARE!

Dr. Solis totally saved me. His office staff was rude and curt but Dr. S is a wonderful Doctor and HIGHLY thought of at the hospital. He did emergency surgery on me and fixed my problem.

I saw Dr. Solis for a condition in 2012. I ended up having two surgical procedures done. He is a condescending, rude Dr. who doesn’t know what kind bedside manner means or how to act like he really cares about what you have to say about your problems in your consultation or how to be there for you emotionally before (or after) surgery. He may be fine for a guy — has a real insensitive, «guy» approach and attitude (even my husband agrees as he was with me at all appts. and surgery and he was condescending to my husband on a question he asked one day) The surgeries ended up fine — no complications or later issues — good work. But I would never go back to him or his office (inexperienced help in the examining room when I was there) — I only went thru with everything because I was referred by another Dr. and I was in pain. It’s already hard enough to deal with problems in that area and the pain that they bring… sort of demeaning and he made it worse.

DR Solis did an incredible surgery and I am really pleased with the results. After multiple surgeries at Stanford in California, DR Solis was able to reverse and fix what the other Surgeons were unable or unwilling to do. DR Solis was very forthright and realistic when he did his Pre-​Op assessment. He was confident, but also gave feedback as to what could go wrong. The office is very busy, so I could see how others could have an issue with the Admins in the front office, but as far as the DR is concerned, his skills are top notch. You may not get the most warm and fuzzys communication, but you will get a highly skilled surgeon.

After reading some of the reviews on here, I was very concerned. However, I have to say that I had fantastic experience with Dr. Solis. He did everything he could to avoid surgery. He worked tirelessly with me all through the weekend. I would highly recommend him for the future.

I cannot agree more with Kristen. Dr Solis is by far the WORST doctor I’ve ever had the displeasure of meeting. Not only was he rude but he also told me I didn’t have a problem. I went for a second opinion to one of his OWN colleagues in the practice who diagnosed me immediately with the problem I KNEW I had (a recurring medical issue that I am very familiar with), and took care of it ASAP. I, like Kristen, considered making a formal complaint against Dr Solis; he was arrogant and physically rough.

Very nice guy. I thought he was helpful at first. He just led me on with expensive medicines and co pays. PLEASE DONT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY. GOTO SOMEONE ELSE INSTEAD

I was referred to Dr. Ricardo Solis by another surgery who had seen him too! I felt he was very through and friendly.
I would definately refer others to him if you are kaing Colon or Rectal situations — he has two offices — one midtown and other is south. Clean and nice offices — didn’t have to wait too long.

I would give it no stars if I could. They charged me three times for a co-​pay for one visit and being raked over the coals for the money was on thing, but I would have taken that any day if I didn’t have to deal with his staff. Not only are they rude and condescending, they are also total idiots.
I would go anywhere else. SAVE YOURSELVES!!!
