Real Patients, Real Stories
I’m writing this review because Dr. Sobo and his staff have CHANGED MY LIFE!!! I moved back to NYC almost 3 years ago and decided that it was time (way past time) to do something and make a change. I was running and training for a marathon and the weight wasn’t coming off. I was seeing a nutritionist in Brooklyn (who shall remain nameless) and still minimal weight lost.So I decided to go back to the BEST. I called the office back in May 2015 and Miss Laura (who is beyond amazing) answered the phone, remembered who I was and couldn’t wait to see me. The entire team Phyllis and Lucia are FANTASTIC, SUPPORTIVE and just simply the best!!! THANK YOU ALL FOR EVERYTHING!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Dr. Sobo has been treating me for several months. I’ve been hypothyroid for many years and in spite of taking Synthroid I did not feel like myself or have a normal energy level. Other doctors did not seem to be able to address this. Dr. Sobo recommended that I try a natural thyroid replacement instead of Synthroid, and my energy level is much improved. Dr. Sobo also created a customized weight loss plan with recommended exercise that is very easy to follow. I’ve lost 15 pounds and I feel great !
