“Steve Soloway uses his rare gift—a combination of deep medical expertise and extensive public policy experience—to deliver an unvarnished assessment of today’s pressing healthcare issues. With so much at stake, both during a pandemic and within a treacherous political landscape, Bad Medicine is a landmark accomplishment.”
—Congressman Jeff Van Drew
 
“It’s a real page-turner. Your near-death experience made me feel like I was in the hospital room with you. So raw, honest, educational, REAL. You think ‘out-of-the-box’ and that makes you a cut above the rest! It flowed and was very well-written. Loved your suggestion about taxes.”
—Cindy Resnick, renowned New York podiatric surgeon
 
“This book combines the elements of memoir, meditation, and manifesto; and its scope takes the reader from molecules to mountain climbing. Appropriate for a veteran physician, Dr. Soloway weighs in on the thorny topic of the American healthcare system—and surprisingly, he makes it a good read.”

“Bad Medicine gives a comprehensive and in-depth look at the challenges the healthcare industry faces and best practices on how to navigate these challenges. A must-read for anyone looking for solutions to problems. I have a full understanding of issues, both political and non-political, that interfere with the healthcare delivery that we have. I, like others, assumed all doctors were the same. It's clearly elucidated through the brilliant writing of Doctor Soloway that this can't be further from the truth.”
—Michael L. Testa, Jr., New Jersey State Senator
 
“A dose of raw in-your-face truth for anyone who can handle it. I’ve witnessed and experienced firsthand the atrocities described in this book. Due to negligent physicians, I was left with an outwardly visible tumor for two years before I was finally diagnosed with cancer. This book explains exactly how and why stories like mine are sadly more prevalent than not. It can help patients understand the ways the system is broken—giving them a chance to navigate it better!”

A MUST READ for anyone that was, is, or will be a patient one day!!”
—Martha Boneta, President of Vote America First
 
“Never have I read a book so truthfully sad yet informative to the medical underground!

I strongly recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn more about our medical system, arthritis, self-determination, and Never Giving Up.”
—George A. Dendrinos, MD
 
“I was tempted to say that Soloway’s book is the tale of a man who became a king in his profession but didn’t lose his head—as well as to comment, ‘They don’t make them like Doctor Soloway anymore, but somebody should figure out how before it’s too late.’”
—Athanasios Papastamelos, DO, infectious disease specialist
 
“This book will be a catalyst for positive change as it will save lives and improve the quality of lives.”
 —Christopher J. Lotz, self-employed

“Steven Soloway is a gregarious, compassionate, passionate, lust-for-life, renaissance-man, ‘teddy-bear’ of a doctor with a great desire for medical and, more importantly, clinical knowledge. His search for this knowledge is not for knowledge‘s sake, but to be the best doctor he can be for his patients, and his friends, and family. He is not afraid to state that he is the best, and he certainly is one of the best in the world! He brings his brand of brutal honesty to the world of healthcare. I say ‘brutal’ because he knows what he knows, and more importantly, he knows what he does not know and is not afraid to say it. Enjoy the read, but honor the author and become an advocate of change to truly make this healthcare system of ours again the envy of the world.”
—J. Colombo, PhD, DNM, DHS, CTO & Senior Medical Director, Physio PS, Inc.

“The smartest and most practical doctor alive shares secrets that patients need to defend themselves.”
—Robert Feferman, MD, venerable endocrinologist
 
“If you’re a patient with questions, you MUST READ this book.”
