Dr Murala has become one of my favorite doctors. I've had conflict in the past, but it was all a misunderstanding. I'm very grateful for the care he puts into his work, and he is very knowledgeable.

Dr. Murala is great! He actually listens. He explains things well and is easy to talk to. I was able to have hip injections at my appointment-which is great considering I live 2 hrs away. I did not have to make an additional appointment. Kept me talking and even laughing which was a great distraction from the injections.

Dr Murala was very thorough and caring. These are very important traits for me as a doctor. Though this was my first appointment with him, I liked how supportive and knowledgeable he is. I also liked how one young woman in the waiting room, who was coming to see him before me, raved about what a great doctor he was for her. She had many chronic pain issues, and he was able to pinpoint what some of the problems were for her, which really helped make a difference for her, and helped me In eliminating some of my anxiety of seeing a pain management doctor.

Dr. Murala is absolutely the BEST !. A little over a year ago I started seeing Dr. Murala for pain management. I was a mess. I had been without a pain doctor for over 6 months. He was very attentive to my every need. I thank God for him. With proper medication my erosive inflammatory osteoarthritis and my post surgical fusion of C2-T2 my pain is kept to a minimum. I don't knows what I would do without him. His treatment has changed my quality of life, he made me smile again.
