Sometimes lately it has been difficult to get an appointment as soon as needed. Sorotzkin is an excellent physician. My mother saw saw her for several decades, as have I. After asking a lot of questions, and a thorough examination. Sorotzkin takes charge and runs tests / gives referrals for issues that are concerning to her. She knows a lot about medicine - more than many Internists, has excellent network of specialists. Her manner is calm, intelligent, and explains all. She is patient and kind but pushes me when I need to take care of myself or take action.

Generally very good. However, my recent visit did not include a breast exam and other hands on treatment that had always been provided at other visits. Because they now draw blood work on the same day as the exam, (rather than a week prior), we can't talk about results during the appointment.
