    Great to have her input on the growth and development of my child. She is patient and very kind. She has made me confident that I am doing a good job at nurturing my child through these delicate first years of life. Definitely recommended her to anyone we know that has a newborn or child.

    Dr Muniyappa always takes her time, provides wonderful care, speaks directly to my daughter and actively listens to her. She is teaching her to be her own best advocate for her healthcare needs. Thank you!

    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.
