Getting Started in Ophthalmology
My interest in ophthalmology started really young. My father is an ophthalmologist, my mother is a physician as well, and they used to work together. So my exposure to surgery started at a very young age, certainly as a family member of two physicians. And it really just developed from there. Going into medical school, I was really interested in surgery to start off. And ultimately what happened is I looked at just about everything else to make sure that I wasn't going to follow Dad. But in reality, it turns out that it combined to everything which inspired me. The interest came out of microsurgery, which I liked immensely. The ability to maintain relationships with patients over multiple years and sometimes even generations was particularly appealing. And then the final piece of it, which I really, really liked, is it allowed me to then expose my children to something that potentially may become something they enjoy when they grow up.
Well, the community's everything. I mean, my father has been here for 50 years now, and so at least we recall, or he certainly recalls, when it was farmland everywhere. And he was very happy being the local eye doctor and being able to relate to patients. So our community is everything, whether it be here in our Buoy location or in our Greenbelt location, and even the patients that we serve in our Rockville and in Tyson's Corner offerings. It really means a lot for us to be able to kind of reach out and be part of that community.
After doing research about ICL, I chose to move forward with Dr. Solomon and it was honestly one of the best decisions I have ever made. He and the staff were incredibly attentive before, during, and after the procedure and made themselves available whenever I had a question. Any type of eye procedure can be anxiety-inducing, but Dr. Solomon is incredibly experienced and was so kind throughout the whole process.
Lorraine was amazing! She called me the day before to inform me of a balance so I wouldn’t be surprised. She was professional and very pleasant when I went to my appointment.Margaret was also very patient and professional.
The staff at the front desk gave me warm professional greetings with big smiles.Lorraine was patient and helpful as I struggled creating the log in and new account.Carlos moved me through the testing efficiently and answered my questions.Dr Siddiqui was thorough and pleasant.At the front desk Calaya made my next appointment and she and Lorraine were again very cheerful as they completed the exiting process.A great experience from start to finish.
I love Solomon’s Eye!Lorraine is an absolute GEM! 💎. I was running late for my appointment today after just flying into town. She was able to work with me to make sure I was seen by Dr.Siddiqui. I really appreciate them both for working diligently to make my appointment happen. Kudos on a job well done!Nita Blue
