Ryan Sobel Md's Online Review Report Card

Took an incredible amount of time with me. He was patient, respectful, made me feel safe and comfortable. He was thoughtful about my options as well as the long and short term prognosis.

I brought my daughter to see Dr. Sobel because her gynecologist diagnosed a rare condition, but didn't give a lot of information or answers. The appointment with Dr. Sobel was one of the best experiences I've had with a Dr. He spent so much time examining my daughter and really listening to her situation and history. He then went on to thoroughly explain everything to both of us and took his time answering all of our questions. Honestly, we were both a little hesitant to see a man, but we both felt so relieved, by the end of the appointment, to know that my daughter is in expert and caring hands from here on out. Dr. Sobel (and his medical student) made my daughter feel so comfortable and relaxed and we're confident in trusting Dr. Sobel with my daughter's future needs.

Dr. Sobel was my gyn specialist for 2yrs. I thought he was giving me great treatment for my concerns. I eventually learned that all of the symptoms I had were in fact leading me into early menopause at 32yr. I asked Dr. Sobel many times if I could be going into menopause? He assured me multiple times that I was not. I did not know at the time that there were many tests he should have been doing or other specialist he could have referred me to in order to know for a FACT that I wasn't. After having a scare with a cyst on my only ovary left, I requested a referral to save my eggs. He told me, I did not need to, I was fine. As if he knew this for sure & had done his best to have that response. I trusted him as my Dr. At this time, I said I want to do it anyway. He sent me to a specialist & they told me two weeks later that my numbers showed early menopause. I could not save any eggs. If Dr. Sobel would have listened to this Black woman 2 yrs prior, I would be in a different situation.

Dr. Sobel is a fantastic doctor. He is the first male GYN I have seen and he was able to diagnose a condition I have been suffering with for 8 years that my other GYNs and NPs brushed aside or did not follow up on. This was extremely validating for me. I will say, he is very hard to get a hold of through MyChart. This was such an issue for me, that I decided to try seeing another doctor. This negative experience made me realize how lucky I was to have Dr. Sobel, and I will be returning to him for my care going forward. He is compassionate, knowledgeable, he explains my condition throughly, and I never have felt rushed in our appointments. He takes his time and answers all my questions and explains my treatment plan as well as options for care if the current plan is not effective.

Dr. Sobel is not only a compassionate doctor, he is an engineering genius. This is the only doctor in my life that actually completed my treatment and discharged me after I am cured. I have had pelvic floor dysfunction, inflammation, pudendal neuralgia and many other symptoms around it which left me in absolute trauma for a long time. He spent long time with me in each visit to just listen, took notes, and then walked me through step by step explaining what might be happening and how he thinks would be the best approach to treat me. He educated me, counselled me and empowered me. He is the best gynecologist I have ever had. If I wouldn’t have to leave the state, I would have always been going back to him. He is the best!

Very happy with this Dr, very kind and professional. Explain all the problems and took his time to do first time consultation. I'm happy that i found this Dr the best. Thank you

Extremely unprofessional, does not listen to the patient at all, no empathy, relies on having at least 3 assistants in the room during traumatic exams. Completely traumatic experience with this Dr. and Jefferson did nothing to help. I am still in pain from this doctor over a year later. Should not be allowed to practice.

I traveled almost 4 hours from Virginia to see him, because every other doc near DC seems to not know anything about vaginas. He was so thorough and knowledgeable. He spent nearly 2 hours in my exam room assessing me. I am extremely grateful

I absolutely credit Dr. Sobel for saving my life and i have followed him from NYC to Philly because i can't imagine entrusting anyone else with my care! He is truly the most caring and considerate doctor I have ever met, and his expertise and sensitivity enabled me to have my quality of life restored. I would recommend this amazing doctor to anyone and everyone!

I have seen so many uninformed, condescending, and judgmental docs, and so Dr. Sobel was a welcome relief. He understands chronic pain, and included me in my treatment plan. He actually listened and incorporated my feedback into what he prescribed. Sometimes I have felt like docs need me to take care of them when I describe the psychological side of things, but Dr. Sobel is direct and doesn't shy away from intense questions. Cannot recommend him more for vulvodynia, vaginismus, and/or dysperuenia.
