Two word great doctor!
Thanks for explaining my options and helping me understand.
One of the best Dr I have seen. Dr listens and expands treatments. Dr is a pro and she knows her stuff. A+
Laura es una doctora muy profesional Muy amable excelente
Doesn’t seem to care about what’s actually wrong. She’s surgery happy and speaks over you when you try to share your concerns.
Great attitude, great work ethic, was in and out of my procedure. Took me longer to get there then the appointment
Dr Sonoda does not explain the treatment and operation procedure clearly. She was amused by questioning the treatment / procedures which should lead to concerns for any patient.
She is unresponsive, unempathetic and a poor communicator
She was great. Answered all my questions
Excellent job on fixing my wrist and thumb. Surgery was quick and my recovery was quick as well. I am so glad I opted for the surgery and got it done sooner than later.
