Dr. Robert Soliz began working for The Joint Chiropractic in 2019 when he joined The Heights clinic. A graduate of Southern Methodist University, he earned his bachelor of arts in Spanish with a minor in psychology. He received his doctorate from Texas Chiropractic College.
“One of the things I really love about being in chiropractic is being able to make a difference and change people’s lives,” he says. “It’s gratifying to educate people about the benefits of chiropractic.”
In his spare time, Dr. Soliz enjoys hunting and fishing, traveling, and teaching martial arts. He also spends time with his cat, Trigger.
He says he knew chiropractic was his calling after engaging with a patient early in his career.
“I had recently started practicing,” he recalls. “I had a patient in my office who had been suffering with debilitating headaches for years. She was at the point where she was about to quit working because she could not function. She had been to several other doctors who could not give her any answers. She was in tears as she told me her story. After treating her for two weeks, her headaches had completely resolved. She was able to keep working and ultimately she got a promotion. It was then that I knew I was doing what I was meant to do.”
Dr. Soliz says he loves being the local chiropractor for The Heights because “The Joint provides a relaxed environment for patients, which makes it ideal to treat and educate them on the benefit of chiropractic.”
In Case You Didn’t Know
Dr. Soliz says the one thing he always has in his refrigerator is Original New York Seltzer water.
If he could gather together four people from history for his dream dinner party, he would bring together a varied group:
● “Bruce Lee, who has always been my martial arts idol, and I’d love to hear his philosophy on things.”
● “Steve Irwin, who embodied some of the best characteristics that any person ever could; he had an intoxicating zest for life, the embodiment of fulfilling a passion and purpose in life, and a love for nature.”
● “Dr. Peter Piot who, with his colleagues, first discovered Ebola in 1976 and then later became instrumental in AIDS research. It would be fascinating to hear his experiences.”
● “President James Madison, who wrote the first 10 amendments to the Constitution that became our Bill of Rights, which is part of one of the most iconic documents ever written.”
He says the coolest thing that he’s ever done was earn a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu: “Though it is becoming more popular, still very few people -- about 1 percent -- ultimately reach this level.”
