Dr. Murali Moorthy, MD

As a U.S. Army veteran living with osteoporosis, arthritis, and a history of a trimalleolar fracture, I’ve seen many specialists over the years—but Dr. Moorthy stands out as truly exceptional. His ability to accurately diagnose complex musculoskeletal issues, combined with his compassionate approach to patient care, makes him an extraordinary orthopedic doctor. He listens carefully, orders the right imaging like X-rays promptly, and always makes me feel seen and supported. I’m deeply grateful for the care and respect I’ve received under his guidance. Highly recommend him to anyone navigating orthopedic challenges.

As the son of an orthopedic surgeon and physician myself I can highly recommend Dr. Moorthy. He is a highly intelligent and knowledgeable doctor. If you have a problem below the knee you want a doctor who sub-specializes in this area. He takes time to listen to you and come up with a treatment plan that will offer the best chance for recovery. I am one of his patients and am very impressed with him.

Has helped a lot with a chronic ongoing ankle issue

dr. Morthy and his team has given me my mobility back! I have a unique genetic disorder, that did not stop Dr. Morthy and this team from stepping out of the box to rebuilding my feet! dr. Morthy‘s compassion, knowledge and surgical skill has given me my life and mobility back!

I'm so grateful to Dr. Murali Moorthy for his top-notch care. I've found him to be great listener, highly skilled and kind, positive person. I recently moved to Walnut Creek and was fortunate to find his clinic. I had a hardware removal surgery and he did a fantastic job. My stitches are really clean and healing great. I had complications with my initial surgery that was done in SF. After seeing Dr Murali I decided to have my ankle hardware removed. After just 2 weeks, I am well on my way to being free of years of chronic pain, I am moving and sleeping better, and getting stronger. He has a fantastic team. Isabel and Alyssa have been friendly and helpful, they are also very knowledgable. And to have them in one practice has been really helpful. I can't say enough great things about them! Thank you, Dr Murali!

I have seen Dr. Moorthy for 2 separate foot surgeries and have been very happy with his approach, support and results. He, and his staff, are competent and professional, and I would recommend to anyone who needs a diagnosis related to a foot injury/surgery.

I was seen by Dr. Morali Moorthy in walnut creek Orthopedic specialists clinic in regards to my ankle . I regret every minute that i was in that room with him , he was in such a hurry and anxious to leave that I didn't achieve any resolution from that short time he spend with me ,he was very disrespectful, hyperactive with a disruptive behavior. He entered the room without introducing himself or any customary etiquette and left the same way , i guess obtaining a medical degree and being cultivated not necessarily brings out the moral principles of life out of you. Please try not to be seen by him as you will regret it just like me . Thank you for reading my feedback.

I visited this doctor because he promotes non surgical options. Bull I was told surgery was my only option to treat a tibia plate. Don't waste your time. This was abrupt and rude to me. He sure as heck will not perform surgery on me.

Doctor Moorthy presents himself in a very professional, knowledgable and friendly manner. From my first visit, Doctor Moorthy made me feel comfortable and confident that he was the right physician to perform my ankle replacements. He has since completed my two ankle heel wedges and my right ankle replacement, successfully, without any complications and because of these experiences, I feel a closeness and a friendship with Doctor Moorthy and his staff .

So far the service has been excellent. My daughter hasn't had surgery yet so I'll update later.
