I went through a tough time earlier this year and was hesitant to ask for help. I had a family member who has been a patient of Dr. Sobel for over ten years and she immediately took me to see him. I was a mess and unable to function or care for myself. Upon meeting and talking with Dr. Sobel, I realized that he was a doctor who really knew what he was talking about. I liked that he wasn't overly emotional and didn't drag out explanations, but rather took the time to get to the basics and figure out a way to get me healthy. The first combination of medications was not successful and I became discouraged and wanted to quit. I didn't think that life was going to get any better. Dr. Sobel encouraged me to continue to work on getting healthy and eventually prescribed me a new combination of medications. After several weeks, these medications with the addition of therapy and a healthier lifestyle changed my life around. I listened to him and was honest with him about my life because I respected him and believed that he could help make me better. He told me things that I didn't always want to hear but needed to. I would highly recommend Dr. Sobel as a psychiatrist to anyone.
Pros: Informative, knowledgable, easy to talk to
