Dr. Michael Sobel, Professor Emeritus, Division of Vascular Surgery, is retiring from the UW after many years of providing us with his wisdom, wit, intellect, and good humor. A Harvard graduate, Michael got his MD from Albert Einstein, did his residency and research fellowship at Harvard’s Beth Israel Hospital, and completed his vascular fellowship with Dr. Anthony Imparato. He quickly rose through the academic ranks to Professor at the Medical College of Virginia and was recruited as Chief of Surgery at our VA Puget Sound Health Care System (VAPSHCS) in 2001. His unfailing good nature, wisdom, surgical skills, research prowess, and selfless work on behalf of the widely diverse members of the surgical service at the VAPSHCS made him an instant success.
