5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

i HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL DOCTORS OVER THE YEARS TO HAVE BOTOX AND NOT ALWAYS BEEN SATISFIED. I DON' LIKE THE FROZEN TIGHT LOOK THAT CAN HAPPEN. THREE YEARS AGO I SWITCHED TO DR. SOBEL AND HE ALWAYS GETS IT RIGHT. HE LEAVES THE FOREHEAD SO IT STILL MOVES SLIGHTLY AND IT LOOKS VERY NATURAL. I'VE SENT MANY OF MY FRIENDS AND ALL HAVE BEEN HAPPY. I LOVE THE RELAXED ATMOSHERE THERE.

Pros: CAN GET A GREAT FACIAL THERE ALSO

Cons: YOU WANT TO SPEND TOO MUCH MONEY THERE

I have had 3 treatments with silicone in my lips. they are natural looking and i do not have those little lines around my mouth that lets the lipstick melt into. after three treatments i am done and the result is permanent. dr. sobel will not do overly puffed up lips. he knows when to say no.

Pros: beautiful office

Cons: no week-end hours

I was actually a patient/client for 2 years. I wanted filler in my smile lines and he used silicone; which I thought was okay since he is a well-known Park Ave doctor; now I read it can be problematic. BUT it is true that his asssistants seem to boss him around and he consults them at every step where he should inject; which I guess is okay that he has a team approach. My biggest complaint was I was told I would need 3 treatments and wound up with 14 treatments at almost $10,000! (but I couldn't stop in the middle). So basically all the bad reviews are true and I am now finished but you shouldn't start with Dr. Sobel

Pros: Big name

Cons: everything

I recently had liposuction on my neck and the results were just fabulous. It took only about 20 minutes to do in the office. The change in my face is very dramatic for such a simple procedure. I love it!

Pros: great ,easy procedure

Cons: cannot wait to do another area

i had a peel called the "VitalizePeel" and i just loved it! after a few days the dead cells peeled away and my skin was soft and glowing. i was so happy because i have had other peels and never had such a quick result.

Pros: quick easy peel

Cons: none

I I have gone to dr. sobe 2x and am very satisfied, he does a combination of botox and fillers that take years off of your face. i am 55 years old and look a decade younger. he uses this filler called Radiesse in my cheeks and it lifted my whole face. try to be an early appointment as he tends to get very busy later in the day.

Pros: beautiful office

Cons: can get very busy in the middle of the day

I have had botox injections at Dr. Sobel's for three years now. It is soooo great. He makes the wrinkles go away and you don't get that frozen look.

Pros: beautiful office

Cons: treatments are addictive

I had a facial by lucy and it was the most relaxing facial ever. I even fell asleep. My skin was so soft and she recommended some moisterizers that were great. I cannot wait to go again, although she is booked for weeks.

Pros: expert care

Cons: long wait for an appointment

Dr. Sobel suggested Restylane filler for my cheeks and it took ten years off of my face. it took 10 minutes and no pain involved. what an amazing transformation. The office was very accommodating as I made the appointment at the last minute.

Pros: full service cosmetic center

Cons: you spend a great deal of money

i got a gift certificate from my friends for a botox treatment and it was great! what was really amazing that Dr. Sobel accepts my insurance so i was able to have my psoriasis treated for just a co-payment. the office is beautiful and everyone was really nice. I have sent two of my friends and they were very happy also.

Pros: gorgeous office. dr. sobel best in city

Cons: you want to have everything done
