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!
