He did my breast reduction several Years back and I wish I had done more research before Going to him. He is not personable and his staff was rude. I’m currently searching for a plastic surgeon that is up to date with all practices and procedures that can redo and correct what Dr. Solmer did. Someone younger for sure.

Dr. Solmer has a terrible bedside manner. He will rip off the paper tape that is on your skin so hard that it takes skin with it. He is not gentle. He has misdiagnosed a severe infection to the surgical site. He said that everything was fine. What he was looking at was cellulitis.

I went to Dr. Solmer for a breast reduction. He was very patient and though with me. He explained the procedure with me. His staff was very friendly and helpful! The surgery went very well! My recovery time was 3 weeks. I highly recommend Dr. Solmer !

Dr. Solmer is a perfectionist and a kind person. He has a great deal of compassion for his patient's feeling and need. He did a wonderful, artful work on my face after I suffered an injury that most doctors would not even attempt to repair. I have nothing but praise for him.
