    Doc seemed very nice, caring and knowledgeable. I needed to leave quickly as I was late.

  • Jul 18, 2024

    Dr. Sondheimer has the best bedside manner I've seen in a while. I've tried two other OB/GYN doctors before her and I left them both because of their attitude towards patients.

  • Jun 24, 2024

    Dr Sondheimer was the Best' OBGYN I've seen in a decade! Very thorough, attentive, pleasant and most important knowledgeable
