December 20, 2024PRIMARY CHILDREN'S MEDICAL CENTERThe doctor is very professional, she really has knowledge and experience in her doctorate. When I spoke to her for the first time, I realized that she was the right person to take care of my baby's health and so it was... I love her treatment and her love and patience towards my baby. [TRANSLATED]
December 18, 2024PRIMARY CHILDREN'S LEHI CAMPUSExcellent care.
December 14, 2024UNIVERSITY OF UTAH MIDVALLEY HEALTH CENTERDr Vegunta is an incredible doctor! She takes great care of my special needs child. She is thoughtful and knowledgeable and always quick to respond when we have issues arise. The UofU is very lucky to have her! We are very lucky she is our doctor.
December 13, 2024PRIMARY CHILDREN'S MEDICAL CENTERDr. V was wonderful, she asked questions that were age appropriate for our son while also explaining things more in depth to us (the parents). Being able to speak at both a kid friendly level and communicate with adults who are concerned and need more complex explanations is a skill that accomplished pediatric health care providers have. That has been a consistent skill we've encountered in several different departments at Primary Childrens.
