From the very first visit, Dr. Sobey approached my case with compassion, patience, and deep clinical insight. He took the time to ask thoughtful questions, explain possible causes of my pain, and walk me through every step of the treatment plan. I never once felt rushed or dismissed - he genuinely treats you like a partner in your own care.What impressed me most is Dr. Sobey's commitment to evidence-based treatments tailored to each individual. He doesn't just throw medications at the problem - he takes a comprehensive approach, considering physical, emotional, and lifestyle factors to provide sustainable relief. He helped me understand my condition and gave me practical tools to manage my pain more effectively.

They were great, They listened to my explanation of my situation, what my desired goals were with regard to my treatment, along with my concerns, apprehensions and fears and they answered my questions and explained the possibilities and options available and I appreciated the honesty and candor given to me. I appreciated the doctor's willingness to still try to help me even though he wasn't sure he could fully treat me due to my residence In Kentucky and the legal differences with opioid prescriptions and so forth. I was very comfortable with my whole experience there.
