Harry Sokolow, MD

Dr. Sokolow is a great doctor. He is very hyper and talkative, which can turn some people off, but I don’t see a problem with it. He will spend a ton of time with you, which is something you don’t get with other doctors. He accepts last min apts and even came in on a Saturday to see me. Great guy.

I’m sorry to hear about the other review, but I thought he was a great doctor. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. He has a great sense of humor and is a bit quirky, but I think that’s cool. I didn’t know he was a triathlete until I mentioned about how I got injured from training for a marathon. So, he was also helpful in that area too. Today I came in for my general physical examination, and I would definitely be returning.

Dear Dr. Sokolow,
I’m sorry to inform you that we will no longer be needed your services for our medical relief. We’ve found that your lack of bedside manner tainted our experiences in your office. We also were not aware that having run triathlons was a requirement to even have a conversation with you.
Let us not focus on the negative – afterall there were some good times. How about that time we called in and needed a last minute appointment? That was pretty great. And the fact that you accepted our insurance so readily won’t be soon forgotten. But I’m afraid that such moments will forever be overshadowed by your suspicious behavior in regards to getting actual medical treatment. I mean, how dare we ask for your help in diagnosing pain?! Who did we think you were – a doctor?!
Unfortunately, our love for you could not withstand the constant nagging and accusations. Having you dance around the accusation of us being drug dealers or users was just a little too much to handle and I just hold a grudge too well.
That being said, perhaps your future relationships will fare better if you manage to actually focus on diagnosing the problem in front of you, rather than encouraging triathlons or accusing people of trying to get some extra drugs from you. And perhaps when you see a patient writhing in pain, you could take a moment to consider that it isn’t being faked. And perhaps you could stop making the annoying jokes. Yeah, that would be great.
Hopefully we’ll never cross paths again.
Sincerely,
Cory O & Husband in Anguish
