I have been a patient of Dr. Taunk's for over 10 years now and am pleased with her knowledge and most of all the compassion she shows all of her patients. I love a doctor who works during lunch hour as well. 98% of the time, she's within 10 minutes of being right on time for the appointment which is a big plus. I will always recommend Dr. Vijay Taunk to all of my family and friends.
