Brief Intro

Dr Sobel is the only American-Born and Fully American-Trained Nephrologist (Kidney Specialist) in Madisonville KY who is a M.D. rather than a D.O. Not all kidney specialists are alike. Although Dr Sobel is Board-certified, this alone does not make anyone a good doctor. Being a good doctor is caring about your patients and putting them first, ahead of any administrator or administration. Doctor Sobel has, and always will act only in the best interests of his patients, and is not afraid to stand up to others in the community who do not put the patients first. He considers the practice of referral to only one group or clinic grossly unethical and believes all doctors should refer only to the best doctor they can find, regardless of which group they might belong to. He agrees with others that feel that the quality of care at a hospital is first and foremost dependent on the doctor caring for the patient; if the doctor gives the wrong orders, even the best staff will only deliver poor care. He also objects to the practice of running any health care organization as a dictatorship and deplores such people that support the concept that physicians are not qualified to direct how patient care should be administered.
