In Murali’s practice, the team is willing to partner with each patient to manage weight and meet health goals using science and compassion. Most people, including many physicians, believe losing weight and keeping it off is up to the individual, saying: eat less, move more. The truth is that a person’s weight can be treated just like diabetes, heart disease, or depression. By combining your efforts with ours, we believe we can help you succeed!
Obesity medicine is a unique specialty that Dr. Murali has been practicing since 2011. He feels it is his calling both professionally and personally because he has have struggled with his weight since childhood. Dr. Murali has felt the sting of stigma, isolation, and anguish that comes with this condition. He has several members of my immediate and extended family who struggle with weight as well as related conditions like diabetes. Bottom line: Dr. Murali loves his work because by helping his patients, ultimately, he helps himself too!
Outside of work, Dr. Murali enjoys spending time with his wife and two children. His favorite activities include playing music (Indian flute and drums), listening to music, dancing with his two children, attending his children’s basketball games, hiking in beautiful natural settings, waking up early to walk my dog, and making my patients laugh!

I felt very welcomed
Awesome provider and staff
Yes, my name is Ruby Townsend and I would just like to say about this young man. He's very professional and everything he told me I completely understood. And I really like this about him and I look forward to coming back because everything was thorough and he was very, very nice and he was very complete. And I look forward to sending some of my friends to him. And I thank you all very much. And I thank him too for listening very carefully. And this is all I have to say for right now. I look forward to telling him more when I see him again. Thank you all very much.
Dr Murali and his team are amazing and caring people. He's one of the best physicians I've ever had. He treats the whole person, body, mind and spirit. I appreciate him greatly!
The office staff and doctor is wonderful, always cheerful. They all make a point to help you how ever they can for that reason I've referred family and friends.
Dr. Murali cares about the health of his patients. He heard my concerns and personalized my treatment with those concerns in mind. He is an invaluable part of my health team at UT.
Great team work
Dr. Morales is a very professional person who always makes me feel good in the way he behaves, I don't feel like he judges my way of behaving, for example the falls I have when I eat excessively or something, he doesn't judge me, but he advises me about my health and gives me steps to follow so I can improve my health and be at my ideal weight again, I really like his attention. He is not serious but he is not a rude person. I really like your way of behaving very professionally and I have already commented on it with other people that sometimes because of your insurance or reasons like that you can't come, but this is already taken into account and other people who have gone, eh? And no
This was the first time I have waited more than 15 minutes for my appointment. After arriving the requested 20 minutes early for my appointment, I was not seen until 45 minutes after my appointment time. Extremely frustrating!!!
It's always a pleasure visiting Mr. Murali and the office staff. They all are very nice and informative.
Every thing that Dr Murali expressed made total sense to me and my wife. He took a lot of time with us and we left with hope that this will work for me.
So my experience with Dr Murali was great. I am, however, not happy with the fact that I waited over an hour after my scheduled appointment time to see him. Everyone was very friendly and I enjoyed my conversation with the Doctor. For the first time in some time I feel like I have an actionable plan to help me manage my weight and health conditions. Additionally it also took several months to be see after making my appointment. I do have strong confident in his ability to help but being able to see him on a timely basis is challenging.
Dr. Murali is wonderful but his backup is horrible, his phone number is not listed, no one has him listed on their directory, his assistant doesn't answer her phone or have an answering system. I trust him completely and totally depend on his advise.
There were initial connection issues. Then I don't know if they overbooked the Dr to the absolute extreme but I was on zoom for an hour before he could log on. He was so kind and apologetic. I just think it would've been nice. Had somebody come on and let me know every 20 or 30 minutes that they were running that far behind? I called the office multiple times but I either got someone at a different location who said they couldn't help me but didn't know what was going on or they transferred me to that location and all I got was the voicemail over and over. I probably called 10 times in the hour wondering if I was even on the Zoom but when he did come on, he was very thorough. He was very kind and like I said he apologized for the delay.
One of the top physicians at UT. Wish he was my PCP!
Everyone in that office was exceptional. They were far, far, far the best. The best ever. Thank you.
When you come in this friendly to get your information you already checked in and you wait they call you everybody's sold the super nice from people in the front desk to the doctor who breaks on I'll give my A+
As always Dr. Murali and entire team are wonderful.
Dr. Murali is just what I was hoping for- a well-informed, compassionate doctor who is tailoring my treatment to my specific needs. He has given me hope.
Everything was great. I wish I didn't have to come to this specific doctor, but he made me feel comfortable to talk about all of my misconceptions about my condition. We need more doctors like this.
Dr Murali is absolutely wonderful he's very professional and he genuinely cares for his patients. His staff is absolutely amazing especially the young lady at the front desk she's very patient and professional. Thank you all for caring for me
After my visits with Dr. Murali, I've had a tough time for the next four days trying to communicate with questions, no one picking up the phone at the doctor's office, the script not being sent for my lab work, all kinds of communication issues which I've been really poor with the staff at this office. And that is my feedback.
I felt heard and cared about during our session. Thanks for being a teacher and a doctor!
I didn't understand how to review the reccomendations on UTHEALTH system that the doctor and I agreed on. Otherwise everything was good.
I am satisfied thank you
Dr. Murali is always very personal with me. He knows my medical history. He knows what I'm thinking before I even tell him what I'm thinking. So he's very cautious of everything that's going on and he listens to when I have to tell him. Thank you.
Thank you for caring about my health
Dr. Murali is a great doctor. He's very thorough and he looks at everything and listens very well. He has always given me good feedback to help me improve my health.
The lady who answers phone is worth gold to the practice. She is polite, respectful, speedy, and extremely pleasant..
I really enjoyed my appointment with Dr. Sameer- he listened to my concerns, he was engaging, funny, and light-hearted, and he was also very informative without being overwhelming. I would absolutely recommend him to family or friends.
