Biography
As a cardiologist, I provide preventative management and treatment for diseases affecting the heart, arteries and veins. My goal is to help my patients overcome their illness, and nothing makes me happier than helping them achieve a better quality of life and well-being. I ensure a friendly, respectful environment and a patient-centered care model founded on a strong patient-physician relationship.
I enjoy working at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center because it is home to the best cardiovascular disease division I have ever seen. There is great strength in the connection we share in providing quality health care, which really expresses itself through the supportiveness of my colleagues. I am also passionate about educating our fellows and ensuring a legacy of compassion.
When I’m not working I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.

Consulting and related relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.

Dr G is excellent, really knows his patients.
I was a bit worried when the Dr dismissed my adhd symptoms and said "exercise can cure my adhd and motivation issues". I get it, exercise helps. But the adhd affects motivation so it's hard to _start_ exercising and maintain a routine. He questioned my adhd bc I went to college. That isn't his specialty I get it but it's part of my health and my legitimate symptoms (confirmed by several providers) should not be dismissed. That being said, he listened to my objections and what I had to say. He then took me seriously. It started a bit rough but I felt heard and listened to. Dr Sofowora sounds like a great specialist with a ton of experience, including in my condition (which hasn't been my experience in the past at a different clinic, which is what prompted me to come to OSU). I just wish Dr Sofowora could read a bit on women's experience with adhd, especially late diagnosed women who already felt dismissed for most of our lives. Again, Dr Sofowora is a wonderful cardiologist and he listened to be in the end but I wish it was like that from the beginning.
Dr Sofowora spent plenty of tome talking with me and my wife. He answered all my questions and addressed any concerns I had.
This was the first time I met Dr. Soforwa And I was very impressed with his knowledge, listening skills, and concern for my health.
Was familiar with my heart situation. Discussed my overall health
Dr Sofowora is fabulous.
