Sonia K. Zechmann

Overview

I am board certified in family medicine and hospice and palliative medicine. Throughout my career I have worked with a broad-spectrum of patients from birth until death and helped them navigate their care in sickness and health. Most recently, I have practiced as a palliative medicine doctor. I partner with patients with advanced or terminal illness, helping improve their quality of life through symptom management and helping them navigate their health care. I love the opportunity to apply my medical knowledge to help patients physically, mentally and emotionally, so they can live a more meaningful life. I strongly believe that medicine is best delivered when the relationship between patient and doctor is looked at as a partnership between two experts; the doctor in the medicine, but equally as important, the patient and family in their body and their values.

Her clinical expertise encompasses ALK-Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and Heart Failure.

Dr. Zechmann is board certified in American Board Of Family Medicine and American Board Of Family Medicine-Hospice And Palliative Medicine. Dr. Zechmann is currently accepting new patients.
