Dr. Soniwala is a native of Buffalo, NY. He completed his undergraduate education at Canisius College, receiving a B.S. in biology. He then completed a service year at City Year Boston, an AmeriCorps program, during which time he worked in an elementary school with select students one-on-one and in small groups. He then moved to Erie, PA to complete his medical education at LECOM. He completed his internship and residency in Internal Medicine at the University of Rochester. He was fortunate to stay on as a Chief Resident for the Internal Medicine Residency and truly enjoyed the mentoring and educational aspects of the role.

Dr. Soniwala is actively engaged in medical education across multiple levels of training. He serves as a point-of-care ultrasound instructor for first- and second-year medical students and facilitates clinical case conferences within the Division of Hospital Medicine, supporting faculty in case development and leading interactive discussions. He also supervises residents on the hospital medicine procedure service, with an emphasis on procedural competency, patient safety, and effective clinical decision-making.

His professional interests include teaching, procedural medicine, and optimizing inpatient care delivery through efficient systems and evidence-based practice. He spends part of his clinical efforts on the specialized hospitalist service within Wilmot Cancer Center.

His interests outside of medicine include backpacking/hiking trips, skiing, and other outdoor adventures, along with being a foodie. He is an avid Buffalo Bills and Sabres fan and is looking forward to a championship from both teams at some point in his life.
