    Dr. Muniyappa is amazing! I can't recommend her enough. I have 2 young kids and after every visit with Dr. Muniyappa I feel good about various health and developmental concerns. Dr. Muniyappa always takes the time to really listen, has invested her time in getting to know me and my kids, making a visit with her feel comfortable and easy. She is wonderful about sharing resources and following up to see how we are managing things. As a parent herself, she can relate to the stresses of being a parent and is empathetic and caring to the whole family. We feel SO lucky to have found Dr. Muniyappa - she is truly the best.

    Dr. Muniyappa is the best pediatrician our family has experienced, and we feel so grateful to have found her! She is amazing with young children, patient with our questions and gives such clear guidance re: what to do, what to watch for, and under what circumstances she would want to be notified. It really gives peace of mind to the parents of a sick child. We absolutely adore her and feel lucky to have found a provider with her mix of warmth, brilliance, and assertiveness. We really believe she cares for our boys and know they're in good hands. We love the Pediatric Clinic at the University Hospital! It is a beautiful, updated new space just 1 floor below the Starbucks in the lobby.

    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.
