About Me

I am a pediatric pulmonologist and sleep medicine physician at University of Vermont Medical Center. I perform a variety of specialized procedures, such as bronchoscopy and polysomnography. My research interests include the interplay between lung disease and sleep-disordered breathing, epidemiological research on asthma and obstructive sleep apnea, and health outcomes of asthma and obstructive sleep apnea.

I find great joy in the opportunity to build long-term relationships with my patients. I put significant emphasis on family- and patient-centered care, making sure that the patient and their family always understand my thought process related to their care. I truly hope that every patient and family leaves a visit feeling that they were heard, their concerns were addressed and their questions were answered.

I find great joy in the opportunity to build long-term relationships with my patients.

  • Excellent Dr. - very knowledgeable and caring.
  • I was absolutely blown away by the level of care provided by Dr. Gunnlaugsson and his team. I don't remember the resident's name, but she was incredible - she was so thorough and asked so many good questions which led me to remember details of my child's medical history that I hadn't thought were relevant. Dr. Gunnlaugsson Is so kind and easy to talk to and was great with my daughter, who is nervous around doctors. I really felt heard and like my concerns were being taken seriously. I really appreciate Dr. Gunnlaugsson's approach to finding the root cause of my daughter's symptoms, providing multiple referrals to other pediatric specialists to get a full picture of her health and not just jumping to conclusions. It was the first time a provider has taken the time to take a big picture view of my daughter's symptoms - the providers spent almost an hour and a half talking to me, which is unheard of In a world where doctors always seem to be rushing to the next appointment. I truly felt like Dr. Gunnlaugsson and the resident were treating me as part of my child's care team. I can't say enough good things about my experience and will highly recommend the clinic to friends and family.
  • That Were Very Helpful.
