    I was very impressed with Dr Vagunta. She was younger than I thought she would be, however, her knowledge and manner showed a much more mature physician. I would recommend her highly.

    She was nice and courteous. However, she had me and my baby waiting in the exam room for over an hour for a simple follow-up that took less than 5 minutes. Her excuse was that she was behind and had 20 new patients that morning. That¿s not my fault or my baby¿s fault. We weee there 15 minutes prior to our appointment and left almost two hours after our appointment started. Our time is also important and valuable. I didn¿t feel valued as a patient.

    Dr. Vegunta took her time to work closely with us to come up with a plan. She was kind, patient, and reassuring to my special needs child. She thoroughly explained what my child is experiencing. We previously had a negative experience with a different provider, and Dr. Vegunta took the time to explain what happened and made a personal effort to correct the situation. We had a great experience and I appreciate being able to work with Dr. Vegunta!
