I love this man. He doesn't just examine me and diagnose the problem - he listens to what I say, carefully! He combines what I've said with his examination to come to a conclusion. I've been written off before by doctors who think I'm being a hypochondriac or just a complainer. Dr. Sonpal heard me and responded in kind. As a result, I feel much much MUCH better and I can't believe it! One point off for his staff. They are just ok - depends who you get that day I suppose.

I could not be more pleased with my experience at Dr. Sonpal's office. Dr. Sonpal is smart, caring and FUNNY (sometimes humor really is the best medicine, isn't it?). I feel at ease knowing my health is in his care and I can tell that, unlike some of the younger doctors today, he is not about the BOTTOM LINE. My friend Ethel just loves him too.

Dr. Sonpal is an actual genius. He is what a doctor should be. He has been able to diagnose my illness when other doctors haven't. I feel so much better every time I go to see him.
