Dr. Sokol was very professional, polite & compassionate. His expertise in his field is very impressive.
Dr. Sokol was a pleasant surprise. He suggested follow-up visit for definite diagnosis. I will arrange for such an appointment at a date commensurate with another appointment.
Kudos to Dr. Sokol. He was able to identify the area of pain and order a CT scan which found an acute diverticulitis. He referred me to a GI specialist at Stanford. His knowledge and quick response enabled me to avoid hospitalization and to be treated quickly. He is smart and also kind. Many thanks.
The best doctor visit I've ever had! Dr. Sokol listened and offered excellent appropriate options.
I wish he could of spent more time explaining step by step 7 steps to recovery of incontinence, I felt overwhelmed and cried after diagnosis.
Dr. Sokol's care is excellent. I rate him 'very good' on 10/10 criteria. I left the exam with his recommendation that I followup every 6 months. This is very reassuring because I know that my condition will be controlled. I consider Dr. Sokol and Laura (R.N.?) the best care-providing team for my condition.
Everyone worked in an excellent way, they assured me and were interested in my health problem.
Felt that Dr. Sokol took the time with me, as did Laura (nurse) and then met with my husband & daughter after examining me.
After having this third surgery for the same issue I am very optimistic that Dr. Sokol can finally resolve this issue.
Dr. Sokol is the best EVER.

I was so fearful, but the care I received was a game changer. I will be grateful FOREVER.
Dr. Sokal is the best.
It felt rushed and I left not knowing more than when I arrived. I also felt that the provider wasn't understanding that my symptoms had gotten better but they were still negatively impacting my life. My first visit was excellent - he took the time for me and I left feeling very confident in him.
Dr. Sokol is fabulous. I would recommend him without hesitation.
I have recommended Dr. Sokol to several people. He is an outstanding surgeon, and a caring, compassionate doctor. Stamford is fortunate to have such a superb doctor.

thank you
He is amazing !!!!!!!!!
Can't say enough good things about Dr. Sokol! I was referred to him to repair complications from a previous procedure by another surgeon. Dr. Sokol is extremely competent and caring. He takes time to address any concerns and questions. I am extremely grateful to him for fixing a painful condition that had been bothering me for 1.5 years.
I have already spread the word of the wonderful care, knowledge and thoroughness of Dr. Eric Sokol.
Dr. Sokol is wonderful! he makes a very uncomfortable situation for me, as comfortable as it could be! He and Laura are a fantastic team !
Dr. Eric Sokol is the gold standard. He is AWESOME.
Dr. Sokol is great!!
Dr. Sokol always takes time to listen to issues I have and to clearly explain the problem and what could be done to remedy it.
Dr. Sokol was just an excellent physician! He was kind,concerned,smart, and willing to take the time needed to make serious decisions about surgery. His superior judgement in how to handle my case has made me so grateful!
I believe providers should have more time to be with their pts. Dr. Eric Sokol spent a lot of time with me. However I know there were other patients waiting so I missed asking about the follow-up care & meds. He did explain that I would be in the hospital for the night. I forgot to mention about previous surgeries & my reactions to them.
Dr. Sokol saw me at the end of his very busy day, yet he spent a long time with me and my husband.
Very professional doctors excellent care super good experience.
Dr. Sokol was top notch in all respects. When trying a new doctor completely unknown to me (recommended by the appointment scheduler for my problem), I couldn't have landed a better one! He was professional, wonderfully communicative and complete, & extremely reassuring.
Dr. Sokol was excellent and explained everything.
He is amazing doctor. He takes my worry away. He is funny makes you laugh. (Wonderful) I am thankful to have him.

Dr. Sokol and his nurse Laura are both very competent and very compassionate.
