The wait time can be long, especially during lunch hours on a Friday, but Dr. Mhamunkar herself is excellent. Though experienced, she was personable and made me feel confident during my first pregnancy even with so many questions. I really believe the vitamins and things she prescribed me led me to have a healthy baby with no issues (i.e. jaundice, etc.)
I moved to Texas and had a horrible birth and OB experience so I am now wondering if I had birthed with her if it would have been a different experience.

Finally found a doctor who will take the time, thoroughly examines patients and makes sure we can rule out all possibilities to get a better understanding of the problem. Thank you, Dr. Mhamunkar. I really appreciated the friendly staff and all time thee doctor took to go over my health history as well as my family's history.

I was prescribed medication with which I had side effects and I landed in the ER. Not trying to generalize my bad experience, but I guess I would not recommend her.

Doctor was extremely busy and I got to talk to her for lesser than 5 minutes . She ordered blood tests and said would prescribe medicine over mail . First appointment wasn’t promising at all , going to her once more before deciding further .

If you want someone that really cares and is knowledgeable in her field, I would recommend Dr. Mhamunkar.
She explains your options and makes sure you understand what she's going to do before doing anything.
She listened to me calmly and answered all my questions. I felt comfortable with her. She is wonderful!

Dr. Mhamunkar was very caring and patient in coming up to speed on my situation. She gave her undue attention during my appointment, gave well thought out recommendations, and I felt very safe about managing my health with her. While the wait can vary from short to sometimes a bit longer, it's worth the quality care I get from her.

I was my first time doing pap smear. She was very careful and make me feel comfortable. I will definitely go back for my regular check up.
September 25, 2017Narae T.Verified patient
The wait time is the only negative. It could have been because it took a while to verify our insurance info, but everything else was great. Dr. Mhumankar is a very good listener and thorough in her approach. She was very understanding of our specific situation and did her best given the circumstances.
Her front desk staff was also very nice. Both Helen and the other lady (didn't catch her name) were very friendly.

Dr Mhamunkar was very thorough and took the time to note down my history. She then summarized what she had understood and proceeded to examine me. She took into account my history and also ordered the appropriate tests. She has a good bedside manner and tries to make you comfortable during the exam.

Having come to the country with an extra baggage of apprehensions for finding a good doctor in the third trimester of first pregnancy, Dr Vidya was an answer to all the prayers. I met her for the first time today and has not only made me comfortable but confident of sailing through smoothly also. I strongly recommend Dr. Vidya to women looking for the perfect OB.

Dr. Mhamunkar was very patient, kind, and informative. She took plenty of time to talk through medical history with me and went over a detailed chart of options. She followed up with additional information and gave me clear next steps.

She did not contact me to inform me at all of time sensitive, serious medical issues highlighted by test results- her office just uploaded the paperwork, and I had to fill in the blanks myself. I am going to get a second opinion now.

Dr. M is AMAZING! She really does set a high bar for any doctor... all doctors regardless of specialty should be like her!
I visited her after a few years of being away, and she remembered me and my history like it was yesterday! Absolutely love her as a doc! I honestly couldn't be better or safer hands :)

Dr. Mhamunkar was really wonderful. It was so easy and quick to book an appointment with her. She was very thorough and she helped us understand our options. We are new to the US and don't understand the insurance system here at all and Dr. Mhamunkar really took the time to help us understand the system.

Dr. Vidya Mhamunkar is fantastic! I have moved all over the country in the last 8 years of my life and have gone through a lot of doctors as a result. Dr. Mhamunkar has been one of the best OBGYN experts I have seen. She is patient, reassuring, and answered all my questions. She was also very thorough in learning about me as a patient, which I appreciated a lot! I will definitely return.

1. NO patient confidentiality. The nurse asks you what is wrong openly and loudly such that everyone can hear.
2. Doctor was exceptionally pushy. Wanted to operate without any medication or formal consideration. Wanted to conduct a pap smear despite being told one was conducted earlier this week.
3. Kept insisting that the spouse be present to review the case... how immature is that? I am capable of hearing and understanding my own body's issues. I don't need adult supervision. Despite telling her that, she insisted atleast 6 times I call my spouse in.
4. Total waste of time - left me with a feeling of a highly commerical, transactional doctor who wanted to make sure her practice would financially benefit from my visit.
5. We have an excellent health plan and lots of choices - and this doctor defined the rock bottom of what we should expect - would NEVER NEVER hope anyone goes to her.
