Dr. Shyla Damodaran Muriel, MD

Dr. Muriel is a highly competent doctor who is knowledgable, patient, compassionate, and communicative. Love her!!!

Dr. Muriel is a rarity to find in this day and age of - "A Sea of Poor Doctors". At this point in my life, she is the only Dr. I trust and feel comfortable being completely honest with. She is refined yet never condescending, reserved yet entirely warm, and she is always willing to consider a patient's whole lifestyle while evaluating and making her diagnosis. She realizes that a person's mental health situation is relevant to his/her physical health problems - but understands that just because the patient may suffer from those types of problems...it doesn't mean that his/her physical health issues are necessarily psychosomatic. She never makes me feel belittled or like I am wasting her time and she is fair and balanced when considering what treatment is needed. She is thorough and I have every confidence that if she ever had a hunch that something serious was wrong with me, she would go beyond the normal amount of diagnostic testing to get to the bottom of it. This Dr. is very smart… - and she exudes consideration, experience, grace, and serenity - all qualities which have a very calming effect on the patient. Griffin Hospital is very fortunate to have Dr. Muriel as a faculty member, as the reason I use Griffin in the first place - is because I have a serious aversion to Yale New Haven Hospital and all of its affiliates (for very real reasons) and Griffin was always levels and levels above in providing real and personable healthcare, to their patients. Griffin has changed a bit in the last couple of years and I've noticed some "Yale - like" tendencies... creeping in. Dr. Muriel practices the Griffin way and has none of the aforementioned tendencies. I hope and pray that she does not leave, for I truly appreciate her.

Highly recommend this practice, they are WONDERFUL !!!!!!

No follow up after visit. Seems unsure sometimes. Changing to someone else.

Dr. Muriel is a compassionate thorough Dr. who never makes you feel rushed' She actually listens to what you have to say and doesn't talk down to you. I plan on keeping Dr. Muriel as my primary care Dr. I have already recommended her to friends. The office staff is also kind friendly and professional.

Dr. Muriel recognized a need for my husband to see a specialist and arranged for that to happen without delay; for that reason, he was able to get the immediate medical attention and interventions necessary to save his life. The staff followed up after his visit to make sure he had been able to access the services recommended. We are both very grateful for her knowledgeable and compassionate care.

i think she was unfriendly and didnt even communicate with me at all. I left the office and all she said was that she was going to call in some presciptions for me no diagnosis. I work in a doctors office we refer a lot of our patients to her now i will think twice about giving her business card as a referral

always willing to listenalways refer to specialist if needed will make personal call to follow up if needed or give health information

Dr. Muriel is a very caring doctor. I respect her and rate her very highly.

My entire family goes to Dr. Muriel.Her diagnosis is spot on. She also is very caring and kind doctor, qualities that are rare in healthcare these days.
