Sobel Spine and Sports

Originally went in for low back pain related to a weightlifting injury. Received excellent advice and was presented with easy-to-understand treatment options. Dr. Sobel did a very good job of asking all of the right questions and listening without ever talking over me (even though I accidentally interrupted and talked over him multiple times!) to get the whole picture of what occurred at the time of my injury. We even discussed likely-unrelated low back pain... read moreOriginally went in for low back pain related to a weightlifting injury.

I first went to this practice 4 years ago for a physical for Boy Scouts (who knew). A couple years later, I start have neck problems and found myself here in the office again.

A couple years later, I start have neck problems and found myself here in the office again.

I loved the concept of the integrated practice where I was treated by an MD and then I also saw their chiropractor. It was nice to see a team work towards a common goal instead of just pushing meds on me, or thinking that I needed a workout. The wait in the waiting room - for my first visit was typical for a medical office (will ANYONE get you in at your scheduled time?) But my subsequent treatment visits were pretty quick. (I'm also one that keeps my information up to date and pre-fills out paperwork to save time.)

Over time I became friends enough that Audrey gave me a bottle of wine from a friend of hers. I'm a enologist on the east coast, and this just sealed the deal. My family will go no other place and I highly recommend the practice. If you really want relief, and an integrated approach, and aren't just looking for a pill provider, then these are your guys. read less - 7/31/2011

You are not a duplicate of the average. When I saw you my pain on a scale of 1 to 10 as a 47! Other doctors gave me pain pills that did not work. You were a comfortable doctor to talk to and be with. Also very smart! You prescribed the pills for NERVE PAIN. My pain is now a 2 to a 7. Thank you again! - 4/01/2018

Dr Sobel is an outstanding Doctor who really cares for a patient. I saw him for few years while he was in Bay Area office and he took really good care of me. I had severe pain in my back and both elbows. Dr Sobel ensured a speedy recovery through clear diagnosis, Physical Therapy across the right therapists, pain management, and consistent guidance from him.

I will highly recommend him to everyone. - 9/12/2016

2 very good friends of mine for the past few years have had moderate to severe neck and lower back pain. I have talked to each of them about the treatment that they have received and the outcomes. They have been to a handful of pain specialist in the valley and both found no one better and easy going than Dr, Jerry Sobel, MD.

I have talked to each of them about the treatment that they have received and the outcomes. They have been to a handful of pain specialist in the valley and both found no one better and easy going than Dr, Jerry Sobel, MD. I had to ask what made him so special and both without any hesitation stated that his concern for their problems were sincere and he was going to find a way to find relief and rectify their problems. A funny thing to is that both laughed and said that his wit and sense of humor lets us know that he too is only human, but also has a great gift of healing. I took their advice and became a patient of Dr. Jerry Sobel. He was kind, sincere and very easy going. He listened to my problem and dug a little deeper into my health history and personal lifestyle to help find out what could be the cause of my problem and to figure out the best plan of action to follow. He told me what he thought and what he felt was the best for me. After seeing Dr. Jerry and following his plan of action I am a much happier person and my issue is a great deal better and well managed and under control. Dr Jerry, Thank you. read less - 8/03/2015

Dr. Jerry Sobel was wonderful and really took his time talking to me. He answered all my questions thoroughly. He personally did my EMG and told me the results on the spot. - 6/26/2019

Fantastic doctor, very professional. I have nothing but high praise for him. I had injection in my lower back. Never felt it and was surprised when he said he was finished. - 6/04/2019

I can not say enough good things about Dr Jerry Sobel. He always takes his time with me, never rushes thru any appointment and he makes sure that I understand everything. He is definitely my favorite doctor. Appointment, injections, follow ups or even my crazy questions, what ever the reason for my visit he is truly the best. I could never thank him enough for helping me with my pain management. - 6/15/2017

BSN RN for 34 years. This provider is authentic, compassionate, and highly educated. I rarely write reviews, but my experience with THIS office including staff, scheduled appointment time, and evaluation we're remarkable. Highly recommend. - 2/15/2019

I am an orthopedic surgeon and I know Dr. Sobel by reputation and have shared patients with him over the years. I have found him to be an ethical and excellent physician.

I have found him to be an ethical and excellent physician. I am very disheartened to see patients malign a doctor's reputation because they do not agree with the physician's treatment plan. A physician who allows a patient to dictate their plan of care, especially when it is not the best thing for the patient, is not a good physician. In a recent review, Dr. Sobel made a decision that he knew would draw the ire of a patient (and certainly was against Dr. Sobel's financial interest). He did it because he felt it was the right thing. That's what good doctors do. Bravo, Dr. Sobel. read less - 8/10/2017
