    Dr. Muniyappa should be the "ideal provider" for the U. She listens to our concerns and has things she wants to go over with us as parents. She is also hilarious which makes appointments enjoyable for everyone in the family!

    She's amazing! Honestly love her and would be heartbroken if she ever left. She knows my son and has been their from the beginning. She knows everything and remembers it from previous conversations not to mention always takes the extra time to make sure all of my questions and concerns are answered. I recommend her to everyone.

    Dr. Muniyappa is the BEST physician I've ever met. I wish she was mine ;)She is so thorough in each visit. She listens to our questions/concerns and answers them in a way we can understand. I can tell she truly cares for her patients and my children in particular.

    This was our first time seeing Dr Muniyappa & she was really great with my daughter. She helped her relax & have fun in the appointment. Dr Muniyappa listened to my concerns & let us know what she was thinking as well. I really felt listened to & part of my daughter's care plan.
