Dr Sonnappa is a fabulous paediatric respiratory consultant. I have worked with her for many years and referred many patients to her , always receiving excellent feedback. She is highly respected, very wise , a leader in respiratory problems in children of all ages and the most caring doctor. She always has a big smile. I have no hesitation in recommending her.
