I Can’t Even Give This Doctor One Star..From The Moment I Came Into His Office He Tried To Sell Me Everything On The Menu When All I Came In For Was Botox .. His Botox Was Terrible .. Bruised Me Badly And Didn’t Diminish The Lines. He Also Injected Restylane To Correct Upper Lip Lines When I Requested Juvederm.., As A Result It Left Unsightly Marks And Distorted My Entire Mouth Area. It’s Been 10 Months And My Mouth Area Is Still Affected. This Doctor Is The Worst.. All He Cares About Is $$$$. Stay Away !!!

He used to be good. Now he’s rushed and seems scattered and if you ask him a question he sends a nurse to answer it. the staff seems phoney.

It's no wonder that NY Magazine has chosen him the area's best for 20 years. Not only is Dr. Sobel a top medical dermatological expert, but a true cosmetic dermatologist artist. His skilled cosmetic injectables and Botox treatments leave you looking years younger, but never overdone. His warm, friendly and has welcoming manner (and that of the staff) always make them a pleasure to see. He also has an onsite operating room, making it convenient for him to perform liposuction under local anesthesia — which I have also experienced there. So easy and remarkable results.

I came in recently for botox and fillers. I was greeted warmly by the friendly staff. Dr Sobel's consultation was thorough, and I felt comfortable in his skillful hands. I can't believe how great it came out, I feel like a new me. I can't wait to come back for emsculpt.

I wanted to get rid of the brown spots that appeared after a summer in the sun. I had a Fraxel laser treatment at Dr. Sobel's office. What a great experience. Dr. Sobel took the time to explain the treatment and the entire staff were caring an helpful. I had this nitrous oxide treatment called ProNox and felt no pain at all. My skin now looks smooth and clear.

if you're not a celebrity, don't bother coming. the nurses and staff seem miserable, unfriendly, uncaring, impatient. not to mention, they overcharge for services that end up with no results!
