Dr. Mehul Sonawala was great. He listens to you, take what you say seriously and tries to help in any way he can. Couldn't ask for a better first meeting.
The location/facility and other staff however could improve significantly.

This was my first visit to see Dr. Sonawala and he was great. He took his time with my concerns but was quick to get my medications moving and to reschedule me for a follow up. The staff was great to work and even gave me some extra tests that helped me to make an important decision. I will, absolutely, be going back to them.

I had the most amazing experience with Dr. Sonawala. From start to finish, it was the most thorough and comforting appointment I’ve ever had. He takes the time to truly listen, asks the right questions, and makes you feel completely heard and cared for. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable, but he’s also friendly, warm, and approachable — a rare combination in any profession. I walked away feeling confident, informed, and genuinely grateful. Can’t recommend him highly enough!

If your in need of an excellent primary provider, look no further then the services provided by Dr. Mehul Sonawala.
It all starts with the receptionist who greets you with a smile to the medical assistant who goes out of her way to get to know you while taking your vitals. 3 words that come to mind in regards to his staff are attentive, professional, and caring.
And after my consultation with Dr Sonawala, I realize that he exemplifies those same traits by actively listening to your medical history and concerns, providing specific feedback that demonstrates his wealth of knowledge, and most importantly, develop a plan of action. It was then that I realized, I’m in good hands. Thank you Dr Sonawala and your wonderful staff!!!
