I have seen Dr Sorosky many times over the last 14 years for various problems. She has always been informative about what's going on, answers my questions thoroughly, and treated my problem very capably. When necessary, she refers me to other doctors for surgery when I need it. She has treated my shoulder, back, knee, hip injuries and arthritis. If she can't relieve my pain, she sends me to someone who can.
