Patients appreciate
Patients consistently praise Dr. Sokol for his exceptional listening skills, genuine compassion, and thorough approach to care. Many reviewers highlight that he never makes them feel rushed, takes time to answer all questions, and shows a sincere interest in their overall health and well-being. His strong communication skills are frequently noted, with patients appreciating how he explains diagnoses, lab results, and treatment options in a clear and understandable way. Several long-term patients — some who have seen him for 10 to 15 years — speak highly of his ability to manage complex conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity, and note that his holistic approach has meaningfully improved their health outcomes. His bedside manner and ability to make patients feel like a priority are among the most commonly praised qualities.
Patients also share
The reviews contain very few criticisms. One reviewer noted that Dr. Sokol's interest in their care felt limited, expressing a desire for a primary care provider to be more proactively curious about all serious health conditions rather than only addressing issues when prompted. A small number of reviews also mention that he is transitioning to private practice, which has left some long-term patients disappointed that they will need to find a new provider — a reflection of how valued he is rather than a criticism of his care.
