Dr. Aekta Manjunath grew up in the northeast suburbs of Atlanta but left for college and is thrilled to finally be back home and near family.

At one hospital, she staffed an emergency room and cared for children admitted with chronic medical problems. At another site, she cared for children admitted to a community hospital for common childhood illnesses.

While she loved her previous job, Dr. Manjunath always wanted to join a practice like CMG where she could care for kids when healthy or sick, and partner with families to optimize their child’s growth and development for years to come!
Dr. Manjunath met her husband, Adarsh, in Chicago while in college and they’ve been married since 2016. He’s originally from St. Louis but they’re both excited to be putting down roots in Atlanta. In her free time, she enjoys running, hiking, and spending time with her family. She never played an organized sport growing up, so took up tennis and swimming lessons just prior to starting with CMG and is loving every minute of it!

I believe she genuinely cares about our child and us as parents
Dr. Manjunath is knowledgable, caring, and kind. I appreciate that she answers questions even when several arise. She always asks about updates from previous visits even when I have forgotten about them. She is a wonderful provider.
We love Dr M, she is personable and very knowledgeable she just seems to always be running late, we often have to wait a minimum of 30 min for her to come in and waiting for long periods of time can be a bit challenging with newborns and babies
Very helpful and kind. Good with teens! Also seems very up to date and offers very practical and useful guidance. Great doctor!
Loved how knowledgeable and attentive she was to our concerns. She took the time to go through them all and gave us references to the places we need to go.
So pleasant, professional and easy to talk to. My daughter would definitely prefer to see her next time.
Dr. Manjunath listened well and exhibits confidence and professionalism during encounters. I appreciated her candor when sharing resources that she found helpful when she was raising her own children through a similar stage.
Dr. Manjunath is the best! Very informative, congenial, and great with kids. We’ve tried different pediatricians in the Decatur/Atlanta area, and choosing her as our pediatrician was the best decision we have made for our kids! It may be a stretch, but her decision making may have very well saved my sons life or prevented him from having lifelong respiratory complications.
She is very kind and caring
Really gentle with baby and is friendly. Has breastfeeding knowledge.
