If you want a doctor who actually listens, believes you, and discusses your options thoroughly - see Dr Sobo. If you want to have integrative, compassionate and thoughtful care - see Dr Sobo. If you want access to your doctor when you need them, even for little questions - see Dr Sobo. I have only been a patient of his for a few weeks and already. I am seeing results in so many areas of my health. It feels like an example of what actual *health*care can be. He bases his recommendations and treatments on tests and symptoms, and has not once dismissed what I’m concerned about. I’m so glad I found him and I have already recommended him to several of my loved ones, who feel the same way.Posted on Google![]()

I took my vain and still very social 80 year old mother for PRP hair growth treatment twice with Dr Sobo. We are so appreciative to Dr Sobo and his wonderful team. They were professional and supportive throughout my moms bout of anxiety and answered all of her questions concerning her hair loss as well as her age. Dr Sobo was patient, kind, honest, pragmatic and straightforward. They all were able to make her comfortable, and the results after 6 months speak for themselves. Her next appointment for PRP is for her knees- I highly recommend Dr. Sobo for PRP Therapy, as well as natural menopause symptom relief, headaches, allergies, etc.!Posted on Google![]()
