Dr. Sonali Mondkar grew up in California and completed her undergrad at UC Riverside. She just finished her clinical residency of 3 years at UHS SoCal MEC at Temecula Valley Hospital. Dr. Mondkar traveled to the Caribbean for Medical School and did her rotations back in the US on the east coast. Because of her travels, Dr. Mondkar is well-versed in all different types of patient populations and is able to understand her patients better and give empathetic, comprehensive care. She likes to get the full scope of her patient and nail down the best treatment plan.

She chose to practice medicine because she noticed she can help all classes, all cultures, and religions, and because she enjoys learning. Dr. Mondkar remarks that, “this is the field where I could be a constant learner and still connect with people.”

When at home, Dr. Mondkar loves to garden and read both fiction and non-fiction. You can also catch her at local parks and at the beach with her pet husky!
