Dr. Murugappan was both professional and kind. She listened to my concerns and thoroughly answered my questions. I have struggled with finding doctors that are attentive, caring, and provide comprehensive explanations, but I am extremely pleased with Dr. Murugappan and I plan on continuing to see her as my neurologist.

Dr Muru was great and her staff was really nice. I would recommend her t anyone. The only downfall was the long waiting period to see her.
More than 1 year agoBelinda R.Verified patient
I liked her as my neurologist. She was very knowledgable of my issue, she took care of business. I like an aggressive MD and she fits the bill. The residents here in Sun City really need a caring neurologist. The one we have here ( I won't mention his name) leaves a lot to be desired, and my opinion is highly agreed with in this community. Thank you ZocDoc for all your assistance.

I had the most amazing experience with this doctor! The office and staff were warm and welcoming. I was treated so well. The office women were kind and thoughtful and walked me through everything I needed to do. They were so courteous! The doctor was so very friendly and professional. I felt 100% better just by talking with her. She has a lovely bedside manner and I felt comfortable instantly when I met her (and the staff). I so appreciate how I was treated. Thank you!
May 2, 2013Teresa F.Verified patient
She was wonderful, definitely recommend her. But, the office staff was rude, uninviting, flustered, and didn't seem to know or care about what they were doing. I usually don't return to a clinic if the staff is rude because they make the visits unpleasant and nobody wants to deal with rude staff when we're already not feeling well...no matter how good the Dr is.
