If you are looking for someone to monitor your blood pressure or order a blood test--not to take on treating the whole person and seeking the vest solutions--this doctor is for you. In my experience she can be very moody, can be friendly and appear to care on one visit and downright cruel during another.

She is wonderful!!! I really like her staff - very helpful. I have been a patient of her's for about 7 years now. My husband also sees her & I have referred others to her as well. I would highly recommend her. She has called me after hours to follow up. Once I was on the phone with her at 10:30pm about my husband. Very caring doctor!!!!!!!

She's been my physician for many years now and I'm looking for a new GP. Dr. Murugavel is very kind and compassionate, which is the only reason I've stayed with her as long as I have. Her staff is not rude, but they are not friendly either. Wait times are very long despite an empty waiting room,
