BOCA RATON, Fla. — A Boca Raton psychiatrist is under emergency suspension, and an alleged victim is speaking out.
The doctor, Andrew Sorial, a psychiatrist whose former office is in Boca Raton, was trusted to listen to people hurting in their mind. Now the state says he had an obsession with women’s breasts.
The alleged victim Donna — which is not her real name, asked Local 10 News to protect her identity.
“I had some mental health issues that I needed help with,” Donna said.
Local 10 News obtained the official notice from the state Department of Health.
The Health Department says that during telehealth sessions, Sorial would ask women to undress in good lighting and put on a sports bra.
The state says Sorial asked one patient to lower her waistband so he could view her midsection and pelvic area. Donna says he asked her to put on skimpy clothing. She refused.
“But to be clear, the issues were mental, not physical,” Donna said. “Absolutely — so no reason for him to ask about your body. None at all. To see anything.”
The Department of Health paperwork says Sorial had an obsession with women’s breasts and gave an instruction for patient L.P. to squeeze her breasts together and turn in different directions.
Donna told Local 10 News she had to switch to all-women doctors — and that Sorial should never see another patient again.
“I would tell him he is evil and vile and he deserves to go to jail for what he did,” she said.
At least one lawsuit has been filed. Attorney Adam Horowitz represents Donna, and he says he’ll be filing too.
“When he made these demands on them — take their clothes off, take pictures — some thought they had to comply, or lose the benefits of his treatments,” Horowitz said.
Donna says if you’re watching right now and have been victimized
“Come forward, say something. It’s not your fault. Not your fault. I can see this is tough. It affected my whole life.”
Local 10 News reached out to Sorial to get his side, but no response.
Local 10 News also confirmed he turned in his license in Massachusetts.
As of Thursday, no criminal charges have been filed against him.
