Biography: Dr. Sonek earned his undergraduate and medical degrees from the University of Chicago and completed both his residency and his Maternal-Fetal Medicine fellowship at the Ohio State University. He serves on the clinical faculty at both Ohio State and Wright State University. Dr. Sonek's special interest and calling is diagnostic ultrasound. He earned his RDMS (Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer) in Obstetric, Gynecologic and Neuro Sonography. A part of his fellowship was spent at the Harris Birthright Centre for Fetal Medicine in London, UK, where he received advanced training in prenatal diagnosis and treatment under the tutelage of Professor Kypros Nicolaides. The relationship he developed there helped him prove a finding involving Down syndrome for which he gained international recognition. He linked absence of severely reduced development of the fetal nasal bones with Down syndrome between 11 to 13 weeks gestation. Dr. Sonek once again gained worldwide recognition for developing a new first trimester marker called the Fronto-Maxillary Facial Angle. This technique measures the angle of the fetus' face in the first trimester and provides a risk assessment as to whether the fetus may have Down syndrome.
