Dr. Soltes is an extremely thorough and excellent ENT doctor. He has a very calm and relaxing effect on myself and I'm sure all his patients. I was bounced around from one doctor to another to try and figure out why I had so much trouble sleeping and breathing through my mouth at night. One sleep specialist even talked me into not one, but two overnight sleep studies, but all his treatments and ideas did not help one bit. When a friend recommended Dr. Soltes I wasn't sure if another 'specialist' would help me. I thought that all the specialists had no idea of what to do to help me breath through my nose at night. Within 20 or 30 minutes of a very in depth exam Dr. Soltes understood my problem. To be sure he even had me go for a CT scan of my sinuses. He showed me exactly what was going on, how one side of my nose was completely blocked from my 'deviated septum' and the other side was being blocked up at night by a cyst that had grown due to air hitting the inside of my nose all day and night. Then when I laid down at night all my sinus fluid blocked up my nose and I woke up with a mouth that felt like a desert since I only could breathe through my mouth. Dr. Soltes was straightforward and explained why surgery was the only way to correct both problems for me. It was only a one day surgery. In by 8:00am and out by 3:00pm. Within a week and a half I could sleep all night long without waking up at all. It was great to feel rested and not have a dry mouth all night. My wife was so glad too since it stopped my regular snoring also.
I would and will continue to recommend Dr. Soltes to anyone who tells me about their ear, nose, or throat problems. He's the best there is!!! read more
