Dr Sobol was warm and friendly. He examined my eye and explained the results throughly. We came up with a workable game plan that was very easy to follow going forward. I would recommend him to anyone needing his assistance.

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.
