Patient Testimonial
“Dr Sobel is the greatest. He is so taleneted and has an artistic eye to really get phenominal results. I had him help me with fillers for the nose to give it more hight at the bridge. It can be very scary because the filler is permanent. I put all my trust in him and his talent came through. I am going to have additional work done on neck and would fully say that he is the best in NYC. Keep up the good work.” – PB
