Dr. Harold Sokol, MD

This is a Dr that tells it like it is. He is very compassionate and very considerate. I have never left his office with not knowing exactly what is going on. I have recommended him to other people.

I've had two instances where I needed to see Dr. Sokol, and they were 15 years apart. In the first instance, I'd been referred to him by an allergist who determined that my symptoms of hoarseness, cough and tight chest were not, as my primary care doctor had thought (for 20 years), driven by allergies. Dr. Sokol correctly diagnosed this longstanding and painful problem as acid reflux. That correct diagnosis was a revelation, and proper treatment has brought great relief--for which I am grateful. Recently he's following some "incidental" lung nodules that showed up during a CT scan done for orthopedic reasons. My lungs are also scarred. The nodules are, so far, not growing; a good sign. I speculated that this lung damage was the work of that long-undiagnosed acid reflux, and he agreed that this was likely (and told me not to get Covid). I trust his judgment in monitoring my lung condition and he's been very open to answering any questions I've had about it.

Excellent office visit experience. Dr. Sokol took the time to carefully review the patient chart and previous tests. He spent a good deal of time talking with us and doing a physical exam, and offered a diagnosis which turned out to be correct without duplicating previous exams and tests.
