Dr. Sonder’s dedication to excellence was evident as he attended the University of Pennsylvania, graduating with honors. From there, he went on to study medicine at Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia, where he was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha, Medical Honor Society and graduated with honors.

Following medical school, Dr. Sonder moved to New York City, where he studied general internal medicine at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, ranked among the leading medical schools in the nation. Service to his country was next in his long line of achievements, as Dr. Sonder served for two years in the military in Viet Nam as a general medical officer, focusing on the care of severe burn injuries. It was here he began to develop his early interest in aesthetic medicine.

After working with the U.S. military, Dr. Sonder returned to New York, where he completed a second training in neuropsychiatry at the Weill Cornell Medical College at Cornell University and became board certified in psychiatry and neurology in 1978. Remaining in New York, Dr. Sonder then pursued the practice of internal medicine, as well as a practice in psychiatry in New York City for the next 25 years. While building his practice, Dr. Sonder continued to seek out cutting edge treatments for patients, and still found time to conduct a weekly radio talk show on new developments in the field of neuroscience.

Upon his relocation to Arizona in 1999, Dr. Sonder’s interest in aesthetic medicine developed further as he undertook a series of courses, seminars, workshops, and trainings in both aesthetic technology and hands-on cosmetic procedures. He has become a member of the American Academy of Aesthetic Physicians, the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, and of the American College of Cosmetic Surgeons. He continues to pursue innovative developments in his field, having recently been elected to the American Academy of Hyperbaric Physicians as a result of his experience and certification in utilizing hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy.

As the medical director of Regency and Adam & Eve Medical Aesthetics, he supervises a team of physicians and technicians in the practice of aesthetic medicine.

When not working, Dr. Sonder lives in Scottsdale and enjoys family time, music and literature.
