About Me
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.

Dr. Sofowora is the best Physician I have ever had!!! His ability to listen, care, comfort and treat is second to none. I will ever provider could provide what he provides and I'm so blessed that he is my cardiologist!!
I dont know why I keep coming back to see him. Instead of trying to figure out what is wrong, he just tries to prove me wrong. He just tries to prescribe pills. I tell him the medicine I'm on is not making me feel well and he tells me he's never had a bad experience with it and wanted me to stay on it. I don't care if everyone in the world loves the medicine, I don't. I also use google and other sources to help and he always tells me to stay off the internet and does nothing but try to prove me wrong. I know how my body feels... Never once has tried to figure out why my body is acting the way it is and to try and go without medicine when I told him multiple things I thought could be causing the issue. Nope just stay off google. I saw his Nurse and she was great. I've been dealing with this issue for almost a year and a half.
He is great!
