Jessica L Sokol, MD

Jessica Sokol, M.D. was so interested in exploring health care delivery within various populations that she earned not one, but two degrees: a medical degree and a Master’s in Public Health (MPH). “I chose a career in medicine because it combined my love of science with my love of people,” she says. “I ended up choosing family medicine as a specialty because I did my family medicine rotation longitudinally in medical school alongside completing my MPH. That enabled me to experience the gift of continuity with my patients and to treat people across generations and throughout their lives.”

Dr. Sokol completed her residency in family medicine at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center. 

“I was lucky to spend my residency training in Long Beach and have loved getting to know the people of this city. I look forward to continuing to care for this population. I also aim to be a safe space for all patients, including those members of the LGBTQIA+ community.”

As a family medicine practitioner, Dr. Sokol says one of the most enjoyable aspects of working with patients is the continuity and relationship-building that happens over many visits. “It is an honor to get a glimpse into so many individuals’ lives, and helping them through the good and the bad that impacts they health. I care deeply for each and every patient I encounter. My main goal is to listen, ask questions, and provide the best care I can possibly provide regardless of age, background, sexual orientation, gender identity and situation.”

A native of San Antonio, Texas, Dr. Sokol enjoys trying new restaurants, watching musicals, going to the movies, traveling to new places and having game nights with friends.
