What families say about Optum providers in Georgia

4.9from 400+ 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

I appreciate allowing me as the parent to give some background information and share my concerns so she knows what type of goals to build with my child. My daughter embraced the first session and we are looking forward to continuing.

Parent of an 11 year old · Jul 1, 2026

Dr Sosa was very thorough and detailed. She also had a plan in place and explained everything. I feel very optimistic about my children's upcoming therapy sessions with her.
