Philosophy

Philosophy of Care – Dr. Henry C. Sobo, M.D.

Dr. Henry C. Sobo, raised in Brooklyn, New York, graduated from Brooklyn College in 1977 and pursued his medical training at the University Autonomus of Guadalajara, completing it at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in New York. In 1985, he finalized his residency in Internal Medicine at the renowned Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn.

Dr. Sobo’s approach to healthcare integrates the best of both medical and nutritional sciences, recognizing that a combined strategy is often more effective than either approach alone. His ultimate goal is to help patients achieve overall wellness by addressing the interconnected aspects of physical, mental, and emotional health.

One of the core philosophies of Dr. Sobo’s practice is a focus on understanding and treating the root causes of illness, rather than merely addressing symptoms. This comprehensive, patient-centered approach enables the creation of personalized treatment plans that may allow patients to avoid medications and the associated risks or side effects.
