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 will not use any other Dr. Or therapist service and would recommend it to anyone who asks me. I am very happy with her n her speech therapy. Thank u so much Dr. Pooja😊

Dear Ma'am, 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. Now he is trying to join 4 to 5 words sentences. We have seen Itish slowely but steadily progressing well. Itish started mingling, playing with other kids happily. He started communication with kids with few sentences. We as parents also working hard for his progress and developments. We are happy about his progress Thanking you, Regards Itish's mother, Jyoti
