What families say about Optum providers in Arizona

4.9from 200+ session ratings in the last year

I’m very grateful that Dr Zuniga really listened to me and my son during our first session. She was patient and didn’t make us feel rushed. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with her on a treatment plan for my son.

Parent of an 8 year old · Sep 2, 2026

Dr. Bunker is very thorough and definitely understood our concerns. She gave us very helpful feedback and steps that will make this process easier for our daughter’s schooling. Thank you!!😊

Parent of a 12 year old · Aug 13, 2026
