Sonia Merchant, M.D.

I am a Board Certified Family Medicine physician with 1.5 years of experience as a Hospitalist in South Jersey. I am committed to delivering efficient, high-quality care within a dynamic healthcare system. My training has taught me how to confidently handle a high-volume inpatient workload, averaging 17–22 patient encounters daily, with a focus on both chronic disease management and acute, complex medical conditions. I am seeking the opportunity to continue coordinating comprehensive treatment plans from admission through discharge.
