I will never forget this Dr. I don’t mean that in a good way though. He took care of my elderly mother. The more he treated her, the more medication he gave her, the worse her symptoms got. I decided to go with my parents on their next appointment. He was dismissive and he actually ridiculed my mom suggesting she was attention seeking. She left in tears. The next day I got her records, and with the guidance of her internist, got her off all the meds Sobelman had her on. I took her to another neurologist who immediately diagnosed her with Parkinson’s disease. With the appropriate medication her movement and balance were restored to a level that gave her a much better quality of life for many years.

Dr. Sobleman is the greatest! He spends plenty of time with you and listens to everything you have to say. He explains everything to you, and does not talk "down" to you like some doctors do. Dr. Sobelman treats his patients with respect and kindness. I have been going to him for about 10 or 111 years, and I would never consider going to another neurologist. I would and do recommend him to anyone who needs the services of a neurologist. His office staff is very pleasant and professional as well. He gets back to you right away, and if he does not have the answer for you right away, he finds it and calls you. He is the best doctor I have ever encountered!
