Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Took a month to get an apointment. Received six reminder of the time from Vanderbuilt. After I arrived, I waited an entire hour only to be told they didnt know when my appointment would commence. Unbelievable arrogance

Excellent Physician
In June 2023, Dr. Sobel did a lower lid blepharoplasty surgery procedure for me. I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my surgery! Dr. Sobel is a good listener and is easy to talk to. She is very professional, she thoroughly explained pre-op & post-op instructions. My eyes look natural and friends say I look 10-15 years younger. Going to Dr. Sobel to do this surgery is the best decision I ever made. I highly recommend Dr. Rachel Sobel.

I've seen Dr. Sobel for my daughter a couple of times now. Seems like I could find any other doctor that might actually have more to say. Besides that, I've never waited less than an hour past my appointment time. Pretty hard when you have a toddler to entertain in a doctors office for that long.

Omg I love Dr.Sobel. She is so compassionate and makes you feel safe. She makes sure you don't leave until you understand everything about your procedure. I truly love nurse Sylvia too! I think I may adopt all of them??. I love her crazy socks so check them out!

There is no question in my mind that Dr. Sobel is the right physician for me. We are impressed with her medical credentials and her affiliation with Vanderbilt. My family and I are very appreciate of the kindness and concern that she has expressed to me. I feel confident that she can and will make the best decisions for me. Thank you, Mary Bradley
