You're not just here for another provider. You're here for a medical doctor—someone trained to diagnose, treat, and manage your entire health story.
You don't need more waiting. You need a doctor who answers the phone. Who listens. Who works for you and not for a hospital system or a corporation with other priorities. While the average patient waits 26 days for a new appointment nationwide, Ivalo MD patients get same-day or next-day answers. This is direct access to a private physician, trusted expertise, and a relationship that doesn't start over every time you walk in the door.

Multi-year recognition as D Magazine Best Doctors in Dallas
Led a Direct Care Clinic at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center for 16+ Years
Served as Chief Resident at leading New York University Hospital
I’m a board-certified physician with over 20 years of experience and a deep belief that great medicine starts with real relationships. After working in traditional healthcare for years, I saw firsthand how the system made it harder for patients to get better. Too rushed. Too reactive. Too disconnected.
That’s why I created Ivalo MD. I wanted to build something better. A concierge practice that offers true access, focused time, and a clear plan forward, especially for people who feel stuck in the cycle of being told “you’re fine.”
I've been honored to be named one of D Magazine's Best Doctors in Dallas, and spent over 16 years leading care at Baylor Scott & White Health, Texas's largest not-for-profit healthcare system and among the largest in the United States. But more than anything, I’m proud to be the kind of physician who listens, and works with you to figure things out, because that’s what actually leads to long-term results.

Dr. Sokol didn’t just take my call—he was on the phone with a pharmacist at midnight trying to get me pain relief. Earlier that day, he told the ER what to check for, which led them to discover the issue with my gallbladder. The next morning, he called in a surgeon friend and got my medication fixed with my usual pharmacy. I had my gallbladder removed that day. Bottom line: Dr. Sokol and his wife Erin are simply amazing. Check them out—especially if you need a doctor who will put time, research, and energy into your health needs."
"It is so nice to have someone I can call and not have to wait weeks for an appointment.
You treat a disease, you win, you lose. You treat a person, I guarantee you'll win, no matter what the outcome."

Applies his elite medical skills to perform life-saving procedures on beloved teddy bears and stuffed bunnies with the same precision he brings to patient care.
Coaching little league basketball and teaching kids the value of teamwork (and maybe a few sweet jump shots).
Proudly reps his New York roots while embracing Texas sunsets. (But he will still debate the superiority of NY pizza.)
When Dr. Sokol isn’t diving into your lab results or strategizing your health plan, here’s what you’ll find him doing:
A visionary behind Ivalo MD, Erin is the driving force behind the patient experience. Her passion for healthcare comes from her own journey. One that led her to discover the power of functional medicine firsthand. With nearly two decades in leadership roles spanning finance, sales, and business development, Erin ensures that we deliver not just exceptional care, but an experience that feels seamless, supportive, and deeply personal.
When she’s not behind the scenes making Ivalo MD run like a well-oiled machine, you’ll find her connecting with patients, juggling life as a busy mom, making sure Matt doesn't forget to eat, or sneaking in a reality TV binge (for research, of course).
It’s waking up without dread. Feeling clear-headed halfway through your workday. Being able to show up for your people, and for yourself, without running on fumes. Working with Ivalo isn’t just about finally getting access to a doctor. It’s about what happens next. The momentum. The stability. The feeling that you’re not chasing wellness anymore, you’re living it.
That’s what makes this kind of care different.
Dr. Sokol exposes the diagnostic gaps that leave patients suffering for years. Discover why real answers require looking deeper than standard care allows.
Our children, Lennon and McCartney, reflect our appreciation for musical revolutionaries, while our treatment spaces incorporate music strategically based on solid research.
Studies demonstrate that music therapy reduces pain intensity by up to 2.8 points on standard scales and produces clinically significant pain reduction, with 90% of clinical studies showing statistically significant improvements and 87% of patients reporting that music therapy was helpful during medical procedures.
We apply these findings in each area of our practice: calming instrumental arrangements in waiting areas, patient-selected music in exam rooms (yes, you will hear The Beatles), and therapeutic compositions in treatment spaces.
This approach represents our commitment to evidence-based care that addresses your health from every angle, because effective medicine harmonizes both science and soul.
You’ve spent enough time trying to make your way through a system that wasn’t designed to help you feel better. At Ivalo, we do things differently, starting with how we listen. If you’re ready for care that feels personal, steady, and built to last, we'd love to talk to you.
