Dr. Sobel is so very caring. She takes the time to listen and understand the problem. She offers solutions and explains exactly what needs to be done. I had a somewhat of an eye emergency after hours and she met me at the clinic to fix the problem. I would highly recommend her to everyone!.

Dr Sobel was amazing. She listened to me and validated me on what I was experiencing with my eyes. Plus she diagnosed me immediately when I have seen 4 other doctors that did not help me.
