Halis Sonmez, MD

About Me

As an endocrinologist at NYU Langone Ambulatory Care Rego Park and NYU Langone Ambulatory Care Garden City, I am dedicated to integrating evidence-based medicine with a patient-centered approach to enhance the quality of life for my patients.

In my practice, I diagnose and manage patients with a range of endocrine and metabolic disorders, including thyroid, adrenal, pituitary, and parathyroid conditions, and complex metabolic syndromes. Patients experiencing chronic fatigue, unexplained weight fluctuations, and malabsorption are often seen in conjunction with other specialties.

I engage in problem-solving while nurturing long-term relationships with my patients, offering multidisciplinary care that supports their journey towards sustainable health.

My team and I stand out through advanced diagnostics and a holistic understanding of each patient’s health journey. By employing cutting-edge imaging, endocrine function testing, and genetic insights when necessary, we also prioritize lifestyle optimization and preventive care. Our multidisciplinary collaboration spans gastroenterology, nutrition, and sleep medicine, ensuring comprehensive care for patients with complex symptoms.

With a profound passion for the intersection of science and human experience, I embarked on a career in endocrinology and metabolic disorders. This specialty intrigued me with its intricate hormonal dynamics and their significant impacts on health, vitality, and overall quality of life. Beyond the clinic, I have actively contributed to research and scholarly work regarding endocrine disorders, such as thyroid nodules, adrenal function, and metabolic health. This involvement ensures I translate the latest evidence into effective care strategies, keeping my patients at the forefront of emerging insights in the field.

I believe effective care is rooted in listening attentively and understanding not just the medical facts, but the everyday challenges my patients face. I strive to create an atmosphere in which patients feel truly heard and supported, fostering trust through collaborative, personalized, and sustainable treatment plans. My care approach is highly individualized, marrying state-of-the-art medical treatments with practical daily strategies. Through clear communication, shared decision-making, and knowledge empowerment, I enable patients to actively participate in their healthcare decisions.

My dedication to providing quality patient-focused care has been recognized through awards for clinical excellence and compassionate service. These honors underscore my unwavering commitment to delivering thorough, evidence-based care to every patient I serve.
