Excellent physician and given complexity of what he is dealing with and pressure to see lots of patients does an outstanding job.

The doctor is fine. The scheduling is absolutely not fine. Perhaps schedule patients so that there is not over an hour wait before being seen. This is a scheduling issue, not a doctor issue.

He takes time to answer your questions and don't rush you in and out like some doctors.

Wellll.. Dr. Sobol is Thee GOAT! With how he is with his profession everytime I wish I had him in 2003-2005 with all my surgeries at 18. He's also a real one because he keeps it honest and true but he delivers it with compassion and that's all I ever need it was a Dr to tell me the truth , let me be devastated and still give a damn in helping me get through with encouragement and that's been my experience since Jan 24 with Dr . Sobol. He's absolutely dedicated and committed to his genius working of magic as well as truly standing on his word of making sure you get the Best top notch service all across the board!!... there's NOBODY in this field better and I put that on everything and my old surgeon!! When I say he's THEE GOAT I mean that in every sense and hes funny!. I NEVER have had any issues at all and every recovery brought me to tears because I was afraid I'd be blind in my second eye but Dr Sobol made things so much easier to go through and being so encouraging!!..

Office well organized and timely u
If patient arrives early
Morning. Sobel is terrific. Wait time (with no notice to patient) is easily one hour or longer. Isn’t there some way to alert patient to long waits?

Dr. Ethan Sobol is an excellent physician and surgeon. He is a pleasure to meet with, as he is very personable and willing to answer my questions and explain his answers in words I can understand. It is always a pleasure to meet with Dr. Sobol in his Chevy Chase office. The staff and medical professionals there put you at ease and are kind and caring.

Thank you so much for getting me in immediately. The office was very efficient. Dr Sobel was excellent explaining my condition and the procedure to resolve the problem. His personality and demeanor was most professional and calming. I saw Dr. Sander’s freviously, but he was unavailable. Dr. Sobel is a great asset to the organization. I generally do not submit feedback, but for Dr. Sobel I made an exception.
