Our Story
During his residency at UT Southwestern Medical Center, Dr. Michael Giles spent many hours working at an opioid treatment program (OTP) where he witnessed firsthand the hardships patients had to go through in their recovery process.
Not only that, Dr. Giles observed the pain points and opportunities opioid treatment programs face when looking to expand access to methadone and other life saving medication.
In the months to come, Sonara Health was formed under Dr. Giles’ philosophy that facilitating humanized, compassionate and trustworthy interactions between OTP patients and providers will lead to greater outcomes and have a noticeable positive impact on the opioid epidemic.
