Doctor Sobel is supposedly a pain management doctor, but he doesnt manage pain medication. I have never of a pain management doctor that doesnt manage medication. Thats like a car mechanic saying I dont work on cars. I wish the front office staff would have told me. Took time off from work super ridiculous

I went to Dr. Sobel after my orthopedic doctor recommended I have a Tenex procedure done following an MRI. I contacted Dr. Sobel's office. They had an opening in one hour. I took it. After reading the MRI report, Dr. Sobel quizzed me extensively about my pain. He then told me he wasn't convinced the MRI report and films conclusively pointed to the diagnosis from the other doctor. He ordered another MRI to check my spine to either prove the diagnosed problem or point to another cause . I was very impressed. I trust my orthopedic doctor who was quick to refer me to Tenex specialist based on what

Dr. Sobel is very patient, funny, and an amazing dr. Love this place because family care is next door so I can go see either for my needs Office staff is amazing, I see the same MA every time and she always creates a "family" type of experience and remembers me whenever I come in. I will say they always respect my time here and are always compassionate and help me understand what's going on with my medical needs. Very knowledgeable MA and DR!

Friend was late "2 minutes" because of heavy traffic. Called and said she was almost there. MA did not tell her to reschedule at that time and when she arrived was told that the doctor had already left. MA stated he was already intending to leave early to pick up his car. My friend is a Hospice nurse and works 6 days a week. MA should have told her not to try and keep appointment as she stated he had turned off his computer and closed his books at 4pm. Her behavior was very unprofessional and admitted that she never even told the doctor that the patient was almost there. My friend was very upset

What can I say this one of the better Dr I have had the pleasure to meet and treat my injury. I was able to schedule as needed and work with Dr Sobel to form a plan for my knee injury. I had an injection done and it went smooth as can be. For those that don't know some draining and injections from knee can be extremely painful I only felt the poke of the needle. I felt Dr Sobel had a genuine interest and listen to my concerns and questions and also followed up with me to see how I was doing. Staff as mentioned in other reviews are great and easy going. I would definitely recommend Dr Sobel if your

I am an orthopedic surgeon and I know Dr. Sobel by reputation and have shared patients with him over the years. I have found him to be an ethical and excellent physician. I am very disheartened to see patients malign a doctor's reputation because they do not agree with the physician's treatment plan. A physician who allows a patient to dictate their plan of care, especially when it is not the best thing for the patient, is not a good physician. In a recent review, Dr. Sobel made a decision that he knew would draw the ire of a patient (and certainly was against Dr. Sobel's financial interest). He
