Doctor Sobel is supposedly a pain management doctor, but he doesn’t manage pain medication. I have never of a pain management doctor that doesn’t manage medication. That’s like a car mechanic saying I don’t 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

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

This doctor has quite a lot of ego.
I went to Dr Sobel about a year or two ago for my knee, neck and lower back issues. He insisted he can look into only one issue at a time. He sent me to physiotherapy once for my lower back. When I went to him again, he again prescribed me for some more physiotherapy. Meanwhile, when I went to a different surgeon for my wife's knee issues, I had checked with him and he took me as a patient. The surgeon generally performs major surgeries and Sobel is more of a recommending PT and providing injections kind of guy. Since I already had knee surgery in 2011, I'd

I can not say enough good things about Dr Jerry Sobel. He always takes his time with me, never rushes thru any appointment and he makes sure that I understand everything. He is definitely my favorite doctor. Appointment, injections, follow ups or even my crazy questions, what ever the reason for my visit he is truly the best. I could never thank him enough for helping me with my pain management.

I've been to numerous specialists and Dr. Jerry Sobel was the only one to get to the root of my problem. I've been very pleased as my condition has gotten much better since I've been under his care. He is very up front which I prefer and the staff has always treated me well. Sobel Spine and Sports is the best medical group I've been to in years!

2 very good friends of mine for the past few years have had moderate to severe neck and lower back pain. I have talked to each of them about the treatment that they have received and the outcomes. They have been to a handful of pain specialist in the valley and both found no one better and easy going than Dr, Jerry Sobel, MD. I had to ask what made him so special and both without any hesitation stated that his concern for their problems were sincere and he was going to find a way to find relief and rectify their problems. A funny thing to is that both laughed and said that his wit and sense of
