Gregg R. Sobeck, MD

I saw Dr. Sobeck for unexplained chronic knee pain that had me hobbling around, unable to use stairs. At first Dr. Sobeck was kind and professional, but when my MRI came back and did not readily explain the pain, he became dismissive, telling me, «You came to the wrong doctor,» but he prescribed pain medication. After I followed his suggestion to see a Rheumatologist, I called and emailed Dr. Sobeck with follow-​up questions for weeks, and never got a response. When I needed a refill of the pain medication, he did not respond to my repeated requests, causing me sudden withdrawl from narcotics without any guidance for weaning off, nor assistance in finding an alternative form of pain control.
Dr. Sobeck might be a fine doctor for you if you have a broken bone or something torn, but he is not the guy to help with a mystery diagnosis. If you do go to Dr. Sobeck for surgery, make sure to discuss pain medication beforehand and make sure he is willing to prescribe you enough, and to give you a refill if necessary.

I have been going to Dr. Sobeck for 10 years after I was injured at work. He has done 3 surgeries on my knee. I was able to walk to my car after surgery. One surgery required a 6″ incision. The scar is barely visible. The different treatments he has done have allowed me to put off a knee replacement. When it is time for the replacement Dr. Sobeck is the only one that I will allow to do the surgery. I drive from Ventura County to his Sherman Oaks office to see him. I am usually in and out in 30 minutes. His staff has been with him as long as I have and they are friendly and very helpful.

Best Dr. for broken bones. Dr. Sobeck knows his stuff. He saved me from having major surgery on my broken arm in July 2012. I was put in a comfortable cast that could be removed to shower. It took my arm one year before it completely mended. I broke my humerus in 3 places not fun at an over 50 + adult
I recommend him highly. Who cares if you have to wait. It’s the doctor that should be important.

Horrible experience both times I’ve been here. They don’t validate, and have waited over an hour past out appt times. Would not recommend this place
