I enjoy developing a vision with my patient and then bringing it to fruition.” This collaborative approach is much appreciated by his patients. He takes his obligations as a doctor very seriously, wanting to give his patients the best possible result while minimizing their exposure to risks.
Dr. Vonu shares his surgical skills by volunteering with the University of Florida’s outreach program. He also visited Angola, Africa, where he worked with patients correcting congenital malformations.

An avid sportsman, Dr. Vonu can be frequently found sharing his love of the outdoors with his three children: Chelsea, Peter, and Trevor.
