Dr. Saifuddin Soniwala, MD

Dr. Soniwala is wonderful. I really trust him and he really listens to you. Also he’s so easy to talk to and explains things really well and treats you like a person. He really is knowledgeable and can talk to you about so many questions, side effects and problems that arise. I feel really comfortable with Dr. Soniwala as my oncologist!

I've been a patient of Dr.Soniwala since 2009.He is one of the finest doctors I know. He literally saved my life in finding a missed diagnosis by another doctor.Always compassionate, considerate ,professional and down to earth.He is more than a doctor to me , he is also a good friend. I would HIGHLY recommend him.

I have been a patient of Dr. Soniwala since 2012. He is thorough in his analysis of any problem, even finding an issue with a medication prescribed by another practitioner, that was wrong for me because of my cancer history. He is a very caring, compassionate man. In a recent incident, he received the results of a CTscan, ordered by another physician and contacted me immediately to follow up on additional testing that he felt was necessary. I am very grateful for his thorough, caring, compassionate care.

I have been a patient for over 4 years. Dr. Soniwala is thorough, caring, and thoughtful. When he is with you it is like you are his only patient-he doesn't present as rushed or preoccupied. He listens well and addresses my questions and concerns.

Yes

The good: He does have good beside manners. He's compassionate and cares for your quality of life when determining a treatment. He explains things well if you ask him. Friendly and nice office setting. The bad: Unfortunately, like many Drs. he practice standard of care. If your conditions is beyond that and need real expert help/advice, he's lacking. He doesn't help much with finding new treatment options. YOU have to do the work and bring it to him. YOU have to find other experts, clinics, trials, testing, etc., because he will not help you with this. This is an exhausting process to go through when you're sick and need his help and guidance on these things. I'm very disappointed in Dr. Soniwala in this regard. If you have a condition that will respond to conventional treatment, he's capable. Don't expect him to go above and beyond that. He's not an 'outside' the box thinker. You are your own best advocate!

Dr. Soniwala has a great "bedside manner". He is very thorough. I am very pleased with the care I've received over the past two years.

At first I felt safe and in good hands, then the truth prevailed. Dr. Soniwala does a lot of talking, but he doesn't listen. The cancer part he treats, but not the damages thereafter. All he has are reasons why, and it's always the chemo that did it. Oh, Keep an eye on your billing too, making sure proper codes are used or you will be stuck with a high bill. I am truely disappointed in Dr. Soniwala. People with cancer have enough to worry about. Shame on you Soniwala.

His answer to every problem you have is, "as you know, that's not my area of expertise." Oh, you just pour the rat poison in; you have no input on what it does to a person. This is the standard of care? Dr. Soniwala is completely indifferent about your care.

You always leave a visit with him reassured that he will take great care of you!
