About Dr. Hemalatha Murugan

“Hello, Please review a few things when booking with me: Before booking, please make sure the location works for you. We have a number of locations in the Inland Empire. We collect deductibles, copays at the time of service. If you have any questions or concerns, please call your insurance before your visit. In addition, please be accurate about the reason for your visit. If you cannot find the reason for visit listed on my Zocdoc profile, that means I do not see patients for those reasons. You will be responsible for any charges associated with reserving the appointment if I need to cancel your appointment. If you have an insurance we do not accept, you will be charged cash for those appointments. We do not prescribe controlled substances. All pre-visit information must be filled out in a timely manner before your appointment. Please be sure that you will attend the appointment if you choose to reserve it. Thank you for your understanding. I’m Dr. Hemalatha Murugan, a board-certified Family Physician with a strong commitment to providing comprehensive and patient-centered care. I completed my Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) from Stanley Medical College in India, followed by a residency in Family Practice at Chino Valley Medical Center in the United States. In addition to my clinical training, I also pursued a Master of Public Health (MPH) from the University of Washington in Seattle, which has given me a broader perspective on health issues, especially those affecting entire populations. My practice focuses on preventive care, chronic disease management, and offering ongoing support to ensure the best outcomes for my patients. I have a particular interest in women's health, where I focus on preventive care, reproductive health, and chronic disease management, to ensure women of all ages live healthy and fulfilling lives. My goal is to empower my patients with the knowledge and support they need to make informed decisions about their health
