Daniel Solomon, MD

About

"Daniel Solomon, MD, is a pediatric general surgeon whose patients range from premature infants to adults, with conditions that are diagnosed and treated in childhood, or that may need care into adulthood. He takes “the psychological approach” when treating children. “There are plenty of times when we might tell an adult: ‘Just sit still for a second; this is going to burn as we inject a local anesthetic,’” Dr. Solomon says. “Children don't understand that what we’re doing is in their best interest. That's why we include our pediatric anesthesiologists as frequently as possible so that we don’t cause lifelong anxiety about visiting a doctor.” "
