Patient Reviews
Feb 22, 2018
Dr. Soltau is an outstanding physician and even better person. He saved my wife's vision after another Dr almost ruined it. He performed a surgery that immediately improved and saved her vision. When my wife was hospitalized for something unrelated to her vision, Dr Soltau went far and beyond what he needed to do to help her. He helped in ways that he didn't have to. That's the type of person he is. If you need a Dr, you won't do better.
