Dr. Solow has over 30 years of clinical experience with children and is currently one of only three specialists in the state of Pennsylvania practicing both specialties with certificates in Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry (Dr. Scott and Dr. Alex are the other two!). He is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania Undergraduate School as well as Dental School. His specialty training consists of several years at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and the University of Pennsylvania after which he received certificates in both Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics. The training consisted of care not only for the healthy child, but also in care of the handicapped and medically compromised patient. He has been a faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania in the past and is a staff member at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
Dr. Scott joins his dad with his unique training as a combined pediatric dental and orthodontic specialist. He is a graduate of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He received his dental and orthodontic degrees from Columbia University School of Dentistry and his pediatric dental degree from the Temple/Episcopal Hospital Program. His training was extensive and diverse in both specialties.
Dr. Alex, along with Dr. Steve and Dr. Scott, are among only a handful of doctors in the country to complete dual-specialty training in both Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics. Dr. Alex received his undergraduate degree at Emory University, where he graduated with Phi Beta Kappa honors. He then moved to Philadelphia to pursue his doctorate in Dental Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, where he graduated #1 in his class. Dr. Alex went on to receive his Pediatric Dental training at Temple University Hospital, followed by a second specialty in Orthodontics and M.S. in Oral Biology at Temple University. His extensive and diverse background enables him to provide the highest quality of care to his patients.
Dr. Jeny was raised in Miami, FL (fluent in Spanish!) and completed her college degree at the University of Florida. She then moved to the northeast to earn her doctorate in Dental Medicine at Temple University Kornberg School of Dentistry, where she graduated at the top of her class. After completing an additional two years of pediatric specialty training at Case Western Reserve University and Rainbow Babies and Childrens Hospital Dr. Jeny was excited to return to Philadelphia and work in the city she loves the most!

Dr. Solow has been taking care of my two sons dental health for over 18 years. His expertise and kindness has resulted in two great confident smiles. It is always wonderful to go back for maintenance care and continuously get good news of no cavities. Because Dr. Solow has consistently taken excellent care of my children's dental needs, I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great pediatric dentist.

Dr. Solow and his staff has so much patience with the children and parents alike. They are informative while doing such a wonderful job with all of us. My children have attended his practice since they began teething, and he's the best yet.

It has been years since my parents finally decided it was time for us to leave the practice and my brother and I are still suffering the consequences of our time there. Among other things, he filed my teeth without parental consent and overbilled our insurance which made getting quality orthodontic care later more difficult. Don't risk your child's teeth or dental health.

Always a great experience at this office. Check-in is efficient and we are always brought back for our appointment quickly. I brought my sons (4 years and 1.5 years) for a cleaning last week, and both the hygienist and Dr. Scott Solow made the appointment run flawlessly. My boys are rambunctious, and everything was efficient which I appreciate so much. This office is wonderful for kids, as the decorations/murals are intriguing and they even have TVs with kids movies on the ceiling to distract while cleaning. I will recommend this office to all parents with young kids! Thank you!

This office is very unprofessional. I was told my daughter would need her teeth pulled and they could not do it in the office. I said ok who can I go and see. The receptionist response was call CHOP, or St Chris they can help you because we do not refer to out side pediatric Dentist. I was confused and ask if it's a service you can not provide and you are the dentist you cant tell me who to have follow up. " no that's your job call those places ". I asked for the number and was told to google. No problem I can. I asked to speak with the office manage r who was not much help. Called the next day and asked for the x-ray and write up from the doctor so the new doctor that I found could start. I was informed no x-ray was done and the Dr. would have to write it up. I was than told I refused to give a e-mail yesterday for my self and the doctor. Hello that's a lie because I just found a doctor today at 10 AM. The office manager says no you refused to give me your e-mail and you told me you did not have a e-mail. That's odd because your office e-mails me about appointments and happy birthday So why would I say I don't have a e-mail. No to mention the new doctor asked how did they come up with all this stuff with no x-ray. Also if it's work they cant perform they will not refer out because it's no money for them. But later informed they can provide some of the service. Please stay away.

Money hungry place. I wouldn't recommend going here at all, especially if you don't decide to use them for orthodontist treatment. They'll take it personal, like an adolescent would after taking their toy. Stay clear. I went against their negative reviews and wish I would have listened!

LIED to my family to try to get more money out of us. Said that my sister had three BOGUS cavities that needed filling, very suspiciously, right after we told him we'd be going elsewhere for our orthodontic care. We visited a different dentist to get a second opinion and this dentist said my sister's mouth was perfectly fine. Don't bring your children/loved ones to this SCAM ARTIST!!

Cannot recommend. Per the previous reviews - over aggressive treatment on baby teeth that other dentists would likely not treat. After multiple fillings, an extraction & caps on our 7 year old (!!) we were then told at a later visit that the capped tooth looked questionable on the x-ray and she would now need an extraction of that too. No pain or discomfort for my child so we sought a 2nd opinion. Should have done this before the previous work. I've since received a notification of presumed charges for an extraction from insurance and a call today requesting we schedule her 'filling'? The scheduler from Dr Solow could not specify what for and told me it was 'either an extraction or filling - we're not sure'. Hmmmmmm. My kid is now traumatized and in retrospect (after reading other reviews on here), i'd encourage any new patients hit with a sudden list of proposed work for their child to get a 2nd opinion asap.
