Primary Care
About Me
Avi Sonnenschein (pronounced sun-in-shine), DO, practices primary care and osteopathic medicine at Mount Sinai Doctors-55 East 34th Street in Midtown Manhattan.
Originally from Kansas, Dr. Sonnenschein earned his medical degree from Touro University Nevada College of Osteopathic Medicine. He completed his residency at Mount Sinai South Nassau and is a certified internal medicine physician by the American Board of Internal Medicine. He went on to complete a fellowship in osteopathic and neuromuscular medicine at Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine.
Dr. Sonnenschein believes that the patient is the most important person of the care team. Led by evidence-based practice, he aims to address the underlying cause of symptoms and collaborates with each patient to develop an individualized treatment plan to reach their health goals. Dr. Sonnenschein takes the time to respectfully and empathetically listen to patient questions and concerns. His holistic approach prioritizes preventive medicine and helps patients develop a lifestyle that encourages healthy living now and in the future. Dr. Sonnenschein strives to provide not only the best healthcare, but the best care.
In addition to primary care, Dr. Sonnenschein specializes in hands-on, osteopathic treatments to help harness the body’s innate healing processes. This treatment can address neuromusculoskeletal issues such as headache, neck pain, back pain, joint pain, and muscle pain, and can also support ENT, cardiac, pulmonary, and gastrointestinal conditions. He also uses osteopathic techniques for pregnant and postpartum women with pain and for infants diagnosed with plagiocephaly, reflux, and latching issues.
Outside of work, Dr. Sonnenschein enjoys running, designing board games, playing saxophone, and spending time with his wife and family.

Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
Dr. SONNENSCHEIN has not yet completed reporting of Industry relationships.
Mount Sinai’s faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
