Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.October 31, 2024MORAN EYE CENTERDr. Vegunta was knowledgeable about both her profession and my case, even though this was my first visit. She had studied my chart. She was professional and kind. She listened carefully and explained things clearly. I highly recommend her.
October 30, 2024EXTERNAL SITEI've already told a coworker who has the same problem and was told there was nothing that could be done.
October 22, 2024EXTERNAL SITEDr Vegunta was great with my daughter and explained everything very well.
September 25, 2024EXTERNAL SITEDr. Vegunta is extremely compassionate and considerate. My special needs child was having a meltdown while we waited for her eyes to dilate and fell asleep minutes before Dr. Vegunta came in to check her. She very kindly offered to let her continue to take a quick nap (while she checked on her other patients) and turned down the lights. This made a big difference in how calm my daughter was after just 10 mins and let the doc check her eyes easily as well. It helped me as a parent as she was easier to manage and also didn't get as many seizures as she got the opportunity to sleep a few extra minutes.
September 25, 2024EXTERNAL SITEIt was our first time with the new Dr. She did not introduce herself and just started off with telling my son to sit in the chair so she could start. Very clinical not friendly
September 18, 2024EXTERNAL SITEShe probably knows her art and expertise but could improve human relationships, even more with children.
September 15, 2024MORAN EYE CENTERShe made me feel like she realy cared, and most of all she showed me and explained in detail that i could understand. I would recommend her to anyone that needed her expertise.
September 13, 2024EXTERNAL SITEMuy buena especialista muy amable
September 11, 2024EXTERNAL SITEShe is absolutely amazing and so knowledgeable. She also treated my son with so much respect and kindness.
