Testimonials
Hi, I would like to provide my feedback for my speech therapist Pooja. First of all I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for the progress I’ve made in improving my speech under her guidance. Her support and encouragement are invaluable to me. Her way of explanation, the techniques and strategies she provided helped me a lot to improve my articulation problem, reduced my native influence and improved my pronunciation. I feel much more confident in my ability to communicate effectively. One area where I still struggle while speaking in meetings or communicating with others. I loose control on articulating words and do mistakes. So, this is one of the key area where I still need to improve. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the progress we've made together, and I would highly recommend her to anyone of my friend who in need of speech therapy.
Hi 1 Specialplace Team, This email is in reference with feedback for Dr. Pooja. Earlier I was taking sessions from Dr. Megha and then moved to Dr. Pooja. I was a bit hesitant as how things will proceed but it has been really out of my expectations. I have seen much improvement in my speech and have high hopes that things will be all well sooner under the supervision of Dr. Pooja. She is very understanding, co-operative and solution oriented therapist. She had really made me realize actually what issue I have with my speech and how it can be treated. Hoping to be sounding all well with my speech sooner.
Pooja has been patiently handling Avyaan during the sessions. We have seen quite an improvement in Avyaan’s speech with G and K quite clear now. We are happy with the sessions conducted by Pooja and look forward to her support in helping Avyaan gain further clarity on other aspects.
Hi, Ms. Pooja is a well-skilled speech therapist. As being a parent I have some words for her "Thank you so much for helping us and for the difference you make in my daughter." Dr. Pooja offered us efficient and great treatment. Her way of treating my daughter is very polite and efficient. I am very satisfied with her and with the treatment, I have received. She is very approachable and I know I can contact her outside my appointment times. I have found a good improvement in my daughter.

I am Itish mother. We have been taking speech and language therapy from Pooja Mundada. She is very polite, nice and kind in the therapy session. She explains technical points very briefly and accurately. Each session she summarised all the points and give guidence for home activities. She has provided valuable experience with limited time. When we joined therapy Itish was speaking only few words. Slowely but steadily he started making 2 to 3 words sentences.
