  Dr Sobeck did a great job with my dad. He did the two knees on the same year and he felt no pain, no complications at all. Very good Doctor very professional, I completely recommend him.

  Mistakes, Disorganization, and Unprofessionalism Would be a 1 star if I had more information about Sobeck’s actual surgical qualities. I wish I wasn’t character restricted for reviews. Leading into the surgery everyone was super helpful and organized. Sobeck himself was descriptive of the process, the surgery etc. He never answered my questions about why the tendon ruptured, or if my previous treatment had a role in this injury; but whatever I just wanted to get it fixed. Coming out of surgery began the worst few days of my life. I found out that the nerve block didn’t work, and still have no idea why. Pain began at a 6 and slowly crept up to a can barely talk 8. I was begging the nurse for pain meds even if it makes me sick. Eventually they gave me IV Fentanyl which happily took the pain back to a 6. During the car ride home pain quickly climbed back to 8. At home I took the prescribed Percocet 10/325 one every 6 hours and it did nothing. For the next 24 or so hours, the pain sat at a 8-9 where all I could do is lay there in agony. My wife called Dr. Sobeck’s nurse line that afternoon and left a message and we didn’t get a call back until the following morning, to which the nurse told us to up the dosage to 2 pills every 4 hours. Luckily even though it didn’t help the pain much, this huge dose made me stoned enough that I could sleep. For the following two days I would take two pills, be in pain for an hour, pass out for 3 hours, and wake up and try to eat and do it again. 2 weeks post-op we took the staples out and started having the conversation about how I get back on the mats asap; and every step of the way I didn’t get the information I wanted. His timelines were washy and never had me feeling like I knew the path to rehabilitation. All I heard repeatedly was ‘it will take about a year’. My physical therapist even said ‘this is all you have?’ to the PT order, which had no instructions or guidelines leaving both of us to adhere the general guidelines for this kind of injury. The knee immobilizer the ER gave me on the day of my injury was continually frustrating until the PT helped me sort it out. After my 5th or so request and complaining the immobilizer would slide around and not fit right, Sobeck tells me that no brace is going to fit right as ‘You just have a fat leg’ and didn’t even look at the brace. I proceeded to ask my physical therapist to look at the brace, and the foam backing was simply off to the side not behind the knee. 5 weeks post-op I asked about the bruise on my knee (which no one called me back about), and why is it only on the previously injured side. He said don’t worry about it and didn’t answer my questions. At this point I’m almost able to walk and just want more guidance for what we can do at PT as they won’t go faster than the general timeline without the doctor’s clearance. In response Sobeck writes on a prescription pad saying gravity leg extensions and no weight bearing exercises, nothing more. Fast forward to 9 weeks post-surgery and I am far ahead of the recovery timeline. I hit traffic driving from OC, taking about 2.5 hours to arrive for my 10:15 appointment. I call at 9:45 saying there’s a good chance I am going to be a little late; can we ask Dr. Sobeck if that’s ok? Receptionist says they will call me back asap. No one calls. I arrive at 10:35 to the receptionist saying Dr Sobeck (who I see in the back still taking patients), cannot see me as he has an emergency surgery. Irritating but my fault I was late, when is the next appointment? 15 days from now. Super frustrated at this point, I then ask for the records guy that I talked to a month prior, as I have yet to receive anything in the mail. He comes up and says that he “Probably sent my records to the wrong address or something”. At this point I just want my records so I can see a new doctor at 90 days, and proceed to wait 45 minutes for a copy of my radiology. Hopefully I don’t have to go back.
