He took his time, explained everything as to why I need surgery and answered all questions. He was referred to us as a second opinion source, but after meeting with him, I have full confidence in him and will have him perform my surgery. Even though I live in [Location], the drive to Fullerton will well be worth it to have Dr. Sohlpour as my surgeon. St. Jude Heritage rocks!

Providence Patient
Dr Solpour always cheerful and professional.
Providence Patient
The fact that I had Dr Solhpour for my surgeon and he is not only a wonderful surgeon he cares about ones well being. His main concern is that the patient gets their life back. He is a rarity in this world especially since I was turned away by many doctors saying there was no problem. He has a wonderful bed side manner and a great smile. Now there were a couple scheduling problems. I had to drive approx. 3 hours to see him and I was late by 15-20 min. Due to an overturned truck. Well we were almost there and they said they couldn't see us. I was not happy. The drive itself is very difficult and painful. Another time they wanted us there 1 hr early for ex-rays which were hand written by the scheduler. After waiting an hour when 12;30 comes around it turned out we didn't need ex-rays. Well the doctor himself apologized and said he would make sure that would never happen again. I definitely recommend Dr. Solhpour even If I had to fly a thousand miles to see him.
Providence Patient
Im glad you asked. I think Dr. Solhpour is fantastic. He is caring, prepared, honest and has a great deal of dedication and integrity. Prior to this appointment I had to go downstairs to get X-rays. Though I did not need any water or snack, I was particularly struck by what a kind gesture to have water, crackers, masks and hand sanitizer for patients waiting. It just said "we care" and demonstrates thoughtfulness. The staff in xray were also incredibly friendly and engaging. Well done! I was disappointed to see the $[ID] valet service charge, mostly feel it disadvantages people who have a medical issue or disability that makes it hard to trek from the parking lot.
Providence Patient
Excellent
