My experience with Dr. Sokol was very distasteful to say the least. He was very insensitive and cold, and had no regard for my feelings or the painful situation I was dealing with. His bedside manner was horrible and I left his office in tears. I was a new patient and I left regretting even going there. It really doesn’t matter how wonderful your credentials are, if you don’t treat each and every patient that walks through your office doors with respect, your credentials mean nothing!

You can not find a better doctor, office or staff than Dr. Joseph Sokol. He is fantastic and caring and knowledge and listens to you, all his staff is pleasant and professional and his associate Dr. Cervantes is great also. I would and have, highly recommended him for many years now and have had the opportunity to utilize his services, talents and ability and I am very happy I went to him.
