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!

They shared weight loss was a journey and they were on the journey with us.
No wait time at all. I'm very sorry he's leaving.
I have already told friends and everyone about this doctor and the staff and I give them a A+ the respectful they friendly the caring and they remind you what do you need to do to let you understand everything that the doctor have told you they give you every information yeah I would definitely 100% recommend this doctor
Dr. Murali is fantastic. He is a great listener and he is extremely knowledgeable and a wonderful provider.
Dr Murali was very knowledgeable about my case. He was thorough, thoughtful, encouraging and helpful. I enjoyed my visit; it was serious but handled very comfortably. I felt like my visit was comprehensive and informative
Very nice man Knowledgable - i learned a few things i did not know I appreciate the talk
Sameer Murali should be able to be brought on with Memorial Hermann so that he can continue his Texas practice via electronic means so that we can keep him. Probably wouldn't stay with this provider if it was just a PA. I would probably find a different provider. Thank you.
I am really concerned that Dr. Muralli is leaving Houston and the practice and feel insecure who will pllow up my care from now on . His kind of care should not be left in the hand of a nurse practioner or PA.I dp not think I will contonue my care with this group if yhis is the case or recommend it.
Dr. Murali was excellent. His approach to obtaining and maintaining a healthy weight gave me confidence that I can achieve my goal. I didn't realize I had health issues that were preventing me from losing weight; until they were addressed, I was unlikely to lose.
I always look forward to my visits with Dr. Murali as he takes his time to listen and gives you thoughtful feedback as to what he feels your needs are. I was saddened to learn that he will be moving to another State and that this was my last visit with him. He will be dearly missed as he is one of of the few genuine physicians that I have come across at UT.
I just love Dr. Murali. Dr. Murali is an awesome doctor. His bedside manner is every bit of incredible. He takes the time to speak to you. He doesn't make me feel like I'm his patient. He makes me feel like I'm someone and someone that he actually cares about when it comes to making sure that I take good care about myself. He's approachable. He is definitely, I don't know, I don't know the word for it, but I just know he's the best and I am so happy he's my doctor. I will recommend him. He's like a 10 out of 10 and anybody that decides they would like to go to Dr. Murali, they will love him just as much as I do.
Dr. Murali treated me with respect. He knew exactly what I wanted. He was very responsive. I'm extremely happy with the service I got from Dr. Murali. Thank you so much. I do appreciate all the help that you've given me. You've changed my life, doctor. Thank you so much.
The doctor and staff were very professional, understanding and communicated clearly what was happening.
Vanessa was professional, courteous, and punctual with the entire triage process. And Dr. Murali communicated exceptionally well the effects of my conditions as well as my treatment plan. He also provided extensive knowledge and materials to get me motivated to start my weight loss journey
My doctor was very attentive. He took his time to really ask very important questions, which helped him make very, give me very great information, which helped me make very informed decisions. I really appreciate how attentive and caring and kind he was throughout the process. And the nurses and his assistants and everybody, everyone was very attentive and very kind and very caring and made themselves available. And yes, it was a great experience as always.
Dr Murali is the best. He always has suggestions for my health journey. He is direct, patient and very informed with information that will help me.
The wait time seemed to be a lot longer this time. But I guess there were a lot of patients. They just didn't really inform me. They didn't seem as concerned as they were the last time I visited the doctor wasn't as knowledgeable and as on top of it and caring as he was the first time I visited, but I still feel confident. He just seemed preoccupied with something else. Maybe it was just not a good day.
It was a wonderful experience, knowledgeable as well as a learning experience!!!
Dr. Murali and his staff, specifically Vanessa and Valencia, are some of my favorite people. I love dealing with them. They're super responsive and knowledgeable and personable. I have complete faith and trust in them. They're really great about handling my care. They pay attention. They're wonderful. I'm really grateful for them. You should keep them around and make sure they're valued and they get their professional development. Don't let them go. Thank you.
Excellent and Great experience
From walking into the waiting room, Valencia was open, warm, and made me feel at ease. Usually staff reflects the doctor so I calmed. Kenisha was my assistant and was warm and caring. Walked me through the weight test, took my bp and I felt heard and welcomed. Then, Dr. Murali came and got me from waiting and this is impressive-in my experience-doctors don't get the patients. He listened to my fears, took the most comprehensive medical history I have ever had including social and mental health history. I felt heard, and cared for by Dr. Murali. He was typing my schedule, food tips, and exercise that fit my current other problems like arthritis and busy work schedule. He explained every medication and reason for it. In these days, I find this rare. Today after one day of medication, one medication caused me to experience nauseous and vomiting. His nurse practitioner send an anti-nausea medication within one hour. My daughter has weight issues and now I know where to recommend she can go to get support and medical supervision. I trust Dr. Murali. I have tried and failed 10 to 12 diets over the years and I am feeling so optimistic because of Dr. Murali and his team. Five stars, 10 stars to his office!
Front Desk personnel needs to be more patient friendly. I did not feel welcomed considering I was there early and to watch someone come in 30 minutes after me hold a personal conversation then get called in before they could even sit down was most annoying.
Great experience
That's doctor, that's staff that I've had in a really long time. Very caring.
Dr. Murali is the best doctor I've ever seen.
Thank you for having such knowledgeable, caring, and patient doctors! He is the best and I feel confident about my lifestyle change !
Very nice staff and Dr Murali is so knowledgeable and helpful. Especially giving healthy options and advice to help build muscle and avoid injury.
Dr.Murali, what an amazing physician. A physician who truly cares about your health and is willing to explain everything to you and make you feel understood and comfortable. I learned so much from my visit with Dr.Murali not only did he give me a solution but how to get the best result with the solution we both came to agreement with. I truly look forward to continue this journey of my health with Dr.Murali
I felt very welcomed
Awesome provider and staff
