We had an absolutely wonderful experience again. The staff (including the new nany receptionist/intake) was very professional, patient, polite, and friendly just an awesome team. We watched as the younger staff delicately cared for the seasoned individuals with respect and patience. This is a Very pleasant office environment quiet with soft tasteful instrumental music (low volumed) yet highly functioning . Our visit with Dr. Sobol who was the icing on the cake is definitely knowledgeable, a gentlemen, patient, kind and caring. This is a stress free office environment and I would recommend to all.

Not for the first time, I was treated with utmost professionalism, kindness during my entire visit: at the front desk, by the assistant, by Dr. Sobol, and at the check-out.

He has taken over my care from Dr. Hooten, who performed my eye surgery. I am completely comfortable with his care and expertise. I've only had one simple visit with him, but it was good and I'll continue. He is easy to talk to and explained the vision issues I wanted to understand=d.
