Dr. Sandra I. Sobel | Endocrinologist | Weight Loss | Pittsburgh

"I've been working with Dr. Sandra Sobel for about a year and a half now. She came at a time when I thought, I don't know what else to do. I had been lucky enough to go through most of my life with minimal health issues. In my 30's, I suffered with infertility and my 40's brought on weights issues (despite being a fitness instructor) and high cholesterol and from there the list kept getting longer. I had worked with other doctors and specialists who I felt were just telling me, "you just need to accept this is the way life is now, that's what getting older is all about", or rather than admit that my issues or concerns were beyond their area of expertise, just send me on my way with another prescription to try. From my first visit, my husband and I knew Dr. Sobel was different. She asked questions and dug into my health from ALL angles….and LISTENED. She never dismissed any of my concerns. When test results are back, she thoroughly explains the outcomes and addresses any concerns. She never just tells me, "this is what you're going to do next." She explains my options, gives me the pros/cons, and we make a decision together. My only regret is not finding her sooner. I might not be able to turn back time, but I know having Dr. Sobel in my corner, I am going to be able to live out my best life in the years to come. I am so thankful to her and I highly recommend Dr. Sandra Sobel."

"I’m thrilled I have found Dr. Sobel. It is so nice to sit down and talk to a doctor without feeling rushed. Dr. Sobel is genuinely invested in my wellbeing. She doesn’t talk at me. She listens to what I have to say and responds with valid, sound advice. I highly recommend Dr. Sandra Sobel."

"Dr. Sober is breath of fresh air, Sandra, took her time, talked about my history, and my goal to work on. She explained ever issue I am facing in great detail. ( my current doctor would never do this). She built a plan tailored for me, put it into action. I have the confidence in her knowledge and passion to help. I am excited to work with her. Chuck M"

"Dr. Sobel is a truly amazing physician. I am so thankful to have her as my physician. Over the last year I’ve worked with her my health has improved dramatically, she has taught me so much and my diabetes has significantly improved. I chose to work with her for her multiple board certification; however, it is her bedside manner, kindness, patience and non-judgmental approach that I appreciate even more. I have had a lot of negative medical experiences in my past related to my weight and she has always made me feel comfortable and treated with dignity and respect, while this may sound like common courtesy I can assure you that has not always been the case for me. I’ve had my husband start working with her as well and he is also seeing vast improvement in his health! Last, the direct care model is new to me but I have found it so wonderful to be able to meet with her regularly in person or online with longer appointments where I never feel rushed and can ask questions. We also communicate over her webportal in between visits and she always provides thoughtful and helpful responses to my questions! She is a great person and physician!"

"Dr. Sobel is great! I met her during an emergency situation and she really helped me get to a better place. She was empathetic and kind. She listened to me and didn’t push me to do anything I wasn’t comfortable doing. I can be stubborn with following directions but she was very understanding. She always took the time to help me and address my concerns through the patient portal. She’s really knowledgeable and up to date on the newest research and health information. The virtual appointments with her never felt rushed and she took the time to hear me out. She is a great doctor. I’d recommend her to anyone who is need of an endocrinologist and who wants to get control of their health."
