Dr. Brian Soltys uses humor, a very gentle manner, and a somewhat questionable singing voice to comfort his patients. He and his team deliver quality care in a non-threatening, fun and friendly, yet professional environment. A graduate of the University of Illinois College of Dentistry,he opened his own solo private general dentistry practice, something that is rarely done in today's world, shortly after graduation. Since that time, he has dedicated his career to serving his patients as he would want to be treated if he was in the dental chair. He treats them with kindness and respect, understanding that most patients would really rather be doing anything else than going to the dentist. It is important to Dr. Soltys that we respect patients' time by staying on schedule as close as possible, and to recommend needed care without any sense of pressure to accept our recommendations. The practiceis at its same location but has grown through the years. Now he enjoys the honor and pride to practice alongside hisyoungest son,Dr. Brent.
Besides practicing in most facets that comprise general dentistry, Dr. Soltys has expanded his scope to include serving the profession of dentistry. He served on various committees at our local level, the Winnebago County Dental Society, ascending to its Presidency in 2002. Moving forward, Dr. Soltys became very active at the state level, ultimately achieving the honor of serving as the 150th President of the Illinois State Dental Society (ISDS) in 2013-2014. He participated in the first three Mission of Mercy events held by the ISDS, one being during his Presidential year, helping to donate millions of dollars of free care to our underserved population. Through his ISDS and American Dental Association membership, he has met and learned from colleagues all over our country. Additionally, Dr. Soltys had multiple opportunities to meet with our elected representatives, including two governors and both our U.S. Senatorsamongst many others, to discuss issues of importance that affect the way we practice dentistry, many of which can hinder the patient care we deliver and often limit the access of needed care for patients. These experiences and background make him even prouder to be a dentist, knowing how fortunate (and often humbled) he is to be in this wonderful profession that allows him to be able to serve one 's oral health care needs. Dr. Soltys strongly feels that his patients benefit from his 'greater good of the order' knowledge and his deep sense of dedication to his profession.
Dr. Soltys also has the honor to be elected to both the International College of Dentists and American College of Dentists, organizations that recognize those who serve others and possess the highest degrees of ethics in their practices. He Is a member of a Polish-American Dental Study Club in Chicago and is an associate member of the Chicago Dental Society.
Dr. Soltys is married to Donna, and they have two sons. Dr. Doug is a general medical surgeon in the Quad Cities area and Dr. Brent of course practices with him. Donna is an associateprofessor at Rock Valley College. Together, when time allows, they enjoy traveling, watching or going to Cubs and Packers games, and spending time with their granddaughter Quinn.
At the core of our dental practice is a friendly team of professionals that are dedicated to your utmost comfort and optimal oral health. We view each patient as a uniqueindividualand tailor each treatment to your specific needs. As part of our commitment to providing close, personalized attention to every patient, we want to encourage patient communication.

Dr. Soltys and everything staff member is incredibly kind and welcoming! I first went because of wisdom teeth pain and they took great care of me. They referred me to an amazing surgeon and made sure I was in great hands. I honestly can say I looked forward to every appointment I had with them. They're great at what they do and you'll definitely be satisfied every visit! I now live in San Diego with my husband so I'm on the hunt for a great dentist, but I know I won't be able to find one as great as them. Thank you Dr. Soltys!

I've been going to Soltys for many, many years and the inviting atmosphere, friendly licensed staff, and the entire process is just so wonderful that I don't mind going to the dentist. I look forward to my semiannual cleaning. Nicole is exceptional and extremely knowledgeable, and Brian and Brent are both fantastic as well.

My first job after graduating from dental hygiene school was with Dr. Soltys. I worked full and part time for the practice for many years. During my 35 year career, I have the opportunity to substitute in many offices. Dr. Soltys has maintained a highly efficient office, with an excellent staff, and state-of-the-art equipment. His commitment to continuing education for himself and his staff is the reason I continue to have him as my personal practitioner.

Dear Malisa Vera-Cole: I'm sorry that we could not continue to employ you. In the fifteen days you worked at our office, it became clear that this was not a good fit. We value customer service, teamwork, and work very hard to have a patient-focused practice. If you have other complaints or concerns, the more professional resolution is to contact me or the office directly. Best of luck on your future endeavors.......Brian F. Soltys, D.D.S.
