Soliguen Max MD

I was appalled by the pretentious attitude of this doctor. He is so incredibly condescending. He is more concerned with money than your child (at least mine, anyway). He orders tests and procedures, and hospital stays that are completely unnecessary in order to line his already fat wallet. It’s so nice to be able to get second and third opinions from HONEST doctors. He is completely sexist. Every time he would ask me a question, he would ignore my answer, roll his eyes, look at my husband, and re-​ask him the exact same question. My husband would tell him to look at me because I am the one who knows, and he would move on to other questions, only to eventually dismiss us. If you like greedy chauvinists who do not value your input as a mother, THIS is your guy.

Best Dr. He helped saved my sons life at San Antonio hospital after diagnosed with bacterial meningitis. Ever since that hospital visit I changed pediatricians. I have referred many patients. It’s not to hard to get a decent appointment date. The Dr. Is on point and believes in immunizations. So don’t go in there thinking you don’t want to vaccinate.

Came in today for my first visit. The office staff seemed nice enough. I signed a bunch of paperwork and waited about an hour total before I saw the doctor. Although I think that’s a bit long for a scheduled appointment, I’m hoping it’s because it was my first visit and they had to get all the paperwork in order and review my son’s vaccination record. When I finally did see the doctor he was very personable and kind. He sat and talked with me first and then looked over my son. Since it was just a well-​baby visit it was pretty quick but I didn’t feel rushed. He advised us to get the flu shot booster that my son needed. The nurse came in a minute later with the shot and did it so quickly that by the time my son reacted & cried he was already in my arms calming down. I appreciate the quickness of the nurse. She seemed to have it down! So far so good! My only complaint would be that the girl at the front seemed to think that they weren’t a «preferred» provider for my insurance even though I called my insurance ahead of time to be sure they were in my network as a preferred provider. She said she would look into it. I’m previously from Kaiser where we didn’t have to worry about that stuff so maybe that’s normal to have insurance confusion? Overall, good visit!

Awesome Doctor! Easy to get a hold of and the ladies in the front are great! Doctor Soliguen has followed my daughter since we went into post delivery at the hospital. Every medical decision he has made for my daughter was on point. One thing I love about Dr. Soliguen is that he is quick to return calls if you have a question (During normal business hours). Being first time parents my fiancé is always worried about our daughter.
Having Dr. Soliguen as our daughters Primary Care Physician was a good decision we made when we were figuring out who to choose as her Pediatrician. One key point about this Dr. is that he is very thorough in regards to questions my fiancé may have for him.
If you are on the fence of choosing a pediatrician make him your child’s pediatrician, as a nurse I work with a lot of doctors and I have been asked by other doctors who my daughters pediatrician is. A few of the doctors I have worked with have said nothing but positive feed back in regards to him.

Dr. Max is nice and professional. He’s good with our boys and seems to have a pretty thorough understanding of medicine. He’s a little challenging to understand because he does have an accent, but if you pay attention it’s ok. We usually schedule Thursday appointments and typically have very little wait time. We’ve only been here once for a sick visit, but I was able to get a same day appointment no problem. We have had to call their after hours line a few times. To my surprise Dr. Max has always answered the phone and was able to help. I do HIGHLY appreciate the sick and well separate waiting rooms. All that said, the reason for the 3 rating is the office staff. The office staff leaves a lot to be desired. They haven’t been rude, but they just seem a little abrupt and act as if your presence is bothersome to them. Also, their waiting rooms are not always the cleanest. Not thrilled, but definitely acceptable.

After 4 years of giving them a chance, I just can’t any more. Let me start by saying the Dr. Soliguen is wonderful. He’s caring, attentive and knowledgeable. But his staff is a joke. EVERY time I go I have to deal with not only their attitudes (especially the office manager), but also their lack of accommodation. I wish they could put their ego aside and help make that office what it could be. If you can handle leaving every time with a knot in your stomach, all the power to you. But me, I can’t. I’m beginning my search for a new pediatrician TODAY.

I needed a new pediatrician after an insurance change and asked a bunch of mom’s on a FB forum for recommendations. Several mom’s told me that Dr. Soliguen was a very good doctor (even one of my good friend’s goes to him and she really likes him) so I went ahead and made an appointment. My youngest child has been having constipation/​pooping issues for several months now and I’ve tried a lot to get her regular again. I was really hoping that Dr. Soliguen would be able to provide more help for the issue but alas, he didn’t really help at all.
First of all, it took over an hour to see him from our appointment time but I can’t really fault anyone for that, given that the office was able to get me in pretty fast. I didn’t have any problems with the office staff and I’ve found that if you are REALLY nice to medical personnel, they respond to that and will treat you the same. I always joke a bit with any sort of office staff and am polite to a fault and that always works. The office was clean and had Disney movies playing so my daughter was more at ease and that helped.
Dr. Soliguen seemed nice enough but honestly, I wasn’t impressed with his ability to help my child with her pooping issues at all– I also had a hard time understanding him because of his heavy accent. He was in the room for a total of 5 minutes and felt my child’s tummy a bit and then just told me to give her milk of magnesia. I got a bill the other day from the office and that visit cost $ 565! Seriously? Granted, our insurance covered 80% of the cost but to charge that much for a measly 5 minutes of your time is highway robbery!
I am going to move on and try to find another pediatrician who will actually help my child as opposed to passing it off as «something she’ll outgrow».

Dr. Soliguen was the dr who saw our son in the hospital. I have been very happy with his office. He always answers any questions that I have. If I call the office with a question they are very nice and helpful. I would recommend this Dr and his staff.

My experiences at this office are long wait times, rushed visits, and rude staff! The only positive is that Dr. Max is nice

Our pediatrician retired and referred us to Dr. Soliguen. My older son got sick last night. I walked in this morning at 8:30am to request to see the doctor. I sign the release form and was schedule for a 10am today. Great office so far.

Dr. Soliguen is friendy, nice and knowledgeable.
I don’t have very much to say about him.
Everything he has done for us has been great.
Each time I need a sick child check up I got a chance to see him.
He may not be the fancy doctor but he is good.
I can understand the concern about the staff.
I do notice some attitude from the front office which I’m unsure why? While it’s a bit unfair to hurt the review for this doctor because of his staff, but if others are receiving bad attitude then surely I can understand. The staff should be friendly you know.
Anyways, my overall experience with the staff is fair. There was one person that was extra nice but the others have been fair.
Overall Dr. Soliguen is terrific.

This is the best pediatric doctor! He genuinely cares about kids and is very friendly and through. Kids love him. Never have to wait long and the staff here is also friendly.

When we interviewed pediatricians Dr Soliguen was top of our list. He interviewed well and seemed very knowledgeable. After our daughter was born things seemed to not be as good. His staff seemed cold, he seemed very rushed and I felt he had no time for my questions. Im a first time mom and all this is new to me. I just want someone to spend time giving me the information I need. Lucky I found a pediatrician that I feel does that. Oh, Im also not a fan of the building set up and parking… its very crowed.

I elected to have Doctor Soliguen as our families pediatrician after meeting him in the hospital. He himself is a nice and informative Doctor.
After coming here for over four years I am fed up. The wait times are tremendous, last time I checked this was not a free clinic. Also the office staff lacks personality and any kind of“customer service”. They are almost just flat out rude.
The straw on the camels back. my baby had a lump on her head this Doctor said don’t worry about it, I went to see three other doctors and they all said we needed to operate. Our primary care physician needed to write the recommendation and I I wanted to go to a specialist for pediatrics surgery and this office staff wouldn’t give it. They wanted to send me to there partners ONLY. I went and saw aUC DOCTOR and we had the surgery and everything is well, thank God.

6 years ago, I would’ve given Dr. Soliguen’s office 5 stars. When my son was born, I called for a last minute appointment because I found reddish fluid in his stool. The office was more than accommodating and saw my son right away. What impressed me more was that Dr. Soliguen called my home personally the next day to follow-​up on his condition. I’ve continued to see Dr. Soliguen for all 3 of my kids since then. However, starting early last year, his staff has become more abrupt and unfriendly and their service more than lacking. Dr. Soliguen is still as nice and informative and an excellent physician. And his original staff member AnnaMarie is also helpful. But the rest of his staff has made me think about taking my kids to see a different pediatrician. I’m not a high maintenance patient. I only take my kids for their annual physical and when they get ill once or twice a year. So I didn’t think it was asking too much to have my baby’s antibiotic called into the pharmacy to save me time and to save my baby any further discomfort. The girl there flat out refused to do it even after I practically begged and asked twice and my little baby was crying so much. No compassion at all. What kind of medical service is this?! I’m only giving 3 stars because I still like the doc himself.
