I’m extremely pleased with the work Dr. Sorkhi performed. I had an emergency gallbladder removal, complicated by a rupture. He was professional, business minded, BUT had human compassion to go along with his skills. He communicated well and answered all of my questions in the hospital and in his office, post-op. I would certainly recommend him without hesitation.

I really dislike it when people write a poor review for an invalid reason. Example: A one-star«product» review on Amazon due to something the postal service did wrong. I see those all the time and they really torque me. The review was supposed to be for a PRODUCT, not for the«delivery service». This review is supposed to be specifically about Doctor Sorkhi, not the office staff. One reviewer said that incompetence starts at the top. That is only true in a single-doctor practice where he personally hires his own staff. That is NOT the case with Doctor Sorkhi at Graybill. Graybill is a large company and he works for them. Graybill provides a shared staff. Please do not bash the doctor for something that is out of his control. Besides, I did not have any issues at all with the staff. Everyone was friendly and everything was smooth. Another problem these days is that people tend to be motivated to write when they are unhappy, but not so much when they are happy. I’m sure that Dr. Sorkhi has a lot of happy patients because he is an excellent surgeon with an easy-going personality. I am one of those happy patients. I urge other happy patients to write and help overcome the absurd negative reviews. My experience was excellent. I needed an emergency gallbladder removal. Dr. Sorkhi met with me ahead of time to discuss the procedure. He patiently answered all of my questions. The laparoscopic surgery was a complete success. I recovered quickly with very little pain at the surgical site and none of the shoulder pain that some people get from lap surgery. When I first came out of anesthesia Dr. Sorkhi was right there to reassure me that it went well and to answer any post-op questions I had. He also called my wife right after surgery to discuss it with her. She was pleased with that discussion. Both of us found him to be warm, sincere and competent. I give Dr. Sorkhi my full recommendation. Do not be turned away by incompetent reviewers.

I’ve had 2 surgeries with Dr. Sorkhi — one a semi-emergency hernia surgery, the other a full emergency appendectomy. With both surgeries, his office scheduled me very quickly — the same day for the full emergency, the next day for the semi-emergency. For both surgeries, Dr. Sorkhi explained my options very thoroughly, took time to answer all my questions, and discussed all the ramifications of everything with me and my husband. The surgeries themselves went quickly and smoothly. He spent a lot of time with me the next day, making sure everything was OK, going through my medical history to make sure no complications would ensue and to determine the best follow-up medication for me. After I went home, he also took follow-up visits very seriously, catching a follow-up issue that I did not realize could be important. All the way around, I felt very well taken care of by him and his office. I would give him the highest recommendation to anyone who needs surgery.

Was referred to Dr. Sorkhi’s office for an urgently needed surgery by my heretofore trusted primary care doc. Four working days since his office received my referral and STILL no follow up from them. This in spite of two phone calls from me attempting to get the ball rolling. I was supposed to already have had this surgery and here it is I can’t even get my surgeon to call me back! Dr. Sorkhi may(or may not) be the finest surgeon in the world but if you can’t get in to see him, who cares? Incompetence starts at the top. I would avoid this practitioner until he takes patient administration more seriously. If his office is lackadaisical about scheduling, imagine what you would have to look forward to in terms of disability and insurance paperwork SNAFUs. Nope! Next!

I was skeptical about this doctor since there aren’t many revues out there however, I must say he seemed like a good doctor, he did my lap roscoe hernia surgery seven weeks ago, everything seems to be fine. The only thing I didn’t like is the he is not very informative, almost like he doesn’t have much time for you as a patient. Also I was off work seven weeks and asked for two more and he denied me. Most of his staff oh my they are so incompetent, I had given them my disability info and a month later they had done NOTHING! I had to keep calling and bugging them, I’m back to work feel ok, and still waiting for my disability check…
