Alexander Sobel, DO

I called Sono Bello to discuss liposuction if the abdomen and flanks. The Sono Bello consultant provided basic information, described the procedure and listed very optimistic recovery time, no significant possible risks or complications. The consultant was incorrect on many talking points, quoting recovery times that were a fraction of the surgeons. The surgeon provided a much more conservative healing time, pain expectations and results. I do not at all recommend working with a Sono Bello consultant that is not a surgeon. Looking back. The information was drastically different.
I honestly think I was very lucky to end up with a skilled surgeon, and I am happy I asked all of my questions to understand the procedure and recovery.
Please use a provider in an independent practice as opposed to a chain establishment. You will be cared for by a cohesive team with integrity and honesty as opposed to a used car salesman.

I’m posting photos at 4 and 8 weeks. Results continue to improve. I still have some mild soreness after moderate exercise. I’m sticking to incline treadmill and barre3 but would like to get back to lifting soon.

After years of struggling with skin allergies and malasma, I finally found Dr. Sobel. Over the past few years, Dr. Sobel has helped heal my skin and introduced me to products that don't cause my skin to break out in hives or cause cuts on my face. He is so knowledgeable, caring, and has a passion for helping people. The staff are amazing and I have confidence speaking with anyone there. I highly recommend Dr. Sobel, you will see results, feel cared for, and feel assured you have an amazin doctor.

Dr Sobel was so personable, empathetic and professional during my consultation. I went into it thinking that my previous surgery less 2 years ago had failed as the bags under my eyes had visibly returned. Dr. Sobel listened to my story and checked my eyes. He was seemed confident that the bags were not typical, but could identify the cause for congestion. He took the time to obtain pictures and copies of my prior surgery (with my permission of course) to determine cause. What is amazing about it, is that the surgery had been performed out of country and the records were in a diffferent language. In my follow up, the problem was uncovered after further discussion. It was not caused by the prior surgery. In fact, Dr. Sobel was quite complementary of the work that had been performed. The problem was able to corrected on the spot for very little cost. It was amazing how much effort he put into researching the problem and his easygoing approach with me a patient. I would give this practice 6 ?? If I could! Will definitely return in the future if I have additional cosmetic procedures in the future.

I am very happy with the results Dr. Sobel was able to help me achieve. He was also very informative throughout the whole process and helped me to understand what to expect at each stage. This was the first procedure of any kind I had ever done so I was surprised by the level of initial swelling and the length of time I had to wear compression garments (I really wish the garments came in "tall", they were short on me which made them extra uncomfortable). Dr. Sobel's assurances that everything was normal and expected along the way made me feel better and in the end it was totally worth it. The first month is the worst but it just got better and better from there. I highly recommend Dr. Sobel; he is knowledgeable, highly skilled and seems to really enjoy his work.

I went tosseD. Isobel to inquire about a tummy tuck. With my heart issues he felt this easygoing to be in my best health interest. We talked about other options, and I trusted him completely. So I had both the upper and tummy area liposuction. Turns out to be the best thing I have ever done for myself. If I ever decide to have anymore cosmetic work done, he will be my to go to Dr. The whole process from start to finish has been top notch and worth every dollar.

After doing some searching on the internet for a Dr to do midsection liposuction on me, I settled with Dr Sobel. I'm glad I did! He is very professional and very personable. This is day 2 since I had my procedure done and so far I am very pleased! I highly recconmend him. Also, his staff are top notch!

I had 2 sets of twins in two years, despite only getting a few stretch marks and being pretty thin I believed the hype that label could potential he tighten my skin it did not and out looks worse. This surgeon was nice, but didn’t explain things well initially was very rushed all the time. worst of all did not to do the surgery we discussed leaving extra scars. I feel like he would say anything or do anything to get you under the knife as he said he could do something that I later found out wasn’t possible. I got 6 areas done and they are all lumpy and uneven. I’m down $8000 and I feel worse than ever about my body.

I regret to inform you that my experience with Dr. Alexander Sobel has been extremely disappointing. Despite paying a substantial amount of $19000 for a surgery that was meant to enhance my appearance, the results have been far from satisfactory. Almost two years post-surgery, my stomach still appears bloated and feels swollen on certain days.

What's even more concerning is that the procedure, which was meant to be invasive, didn't even include the necessary repair of my abdominal muscles. As a result, I still have visible muscle separation, making it evident whenever I attempt to do crunches. When I brought up this issue with Dr. Sobel, he dismissed my concerns, stating that the repair wasn't necessary. However, the reality is that my stomach doesn't look flattering at all; it appears bulging and has noticeable lumps, completely contradicting the results I was promised.

Overall, I cannot in good conscience recommend Dr. Alexander Sobel to anyone seeking cosmetic surgery. Not only did he fail to deliver the desired results, but his lack of attention to crucial details and dismissive attitude towards patient concerns are unacceptable. Save yourself the disappointment and avoid this place at all costs.
