The office is run in a very professional manner. When you walk in the door you are greeted by employee who signs you in. Your barely sit down and they are taking you back for the first process of your visit. Once that is done you are moved for the second process before seeing Dr. Sobol. Their system is smooth, and they don't have you waiting long.

Dr. Sobol has been an attentive, diligent and knowledgeable doctor to me for a few years. He recently had to share some difficult news with me and did so patiently and calmly while being informative without intimidation or hubris. His appointments generally run on time and his office team follows up. His is support by great medical and administrative staff.

Hello and my experience was exceptional. I was shown and informed of what my issue is and moving forward on what is the best option to correct the issue. Dr. Sobol was very forthcoming on what the surgery would entail as well as the recovery aspect. I was more relaxed after our consultation and not as leery as before.

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.
Apr 10, 2025
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!!..

Dr.Sobol has provided excellent care for this 82 year old through some difficult problems, including a macular hole and recent hospitalization and surgery. He is clear in his explanations and compassionate.

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.
