Dr. Murliya Gowda, MD

Recently I developed an infection after a surgical procedure and the pathogen proved to be rather dangerous as it was resistant to all oral antibiotics.  With a temperature spiking over 103 degrees I was admitted to the hospital.  The course of treatment seemed unclear until Dr. Murliya Gowda appeared on the scene.  This vey strong recommendation of Dr. Gowda is based on three factors. 1.)  Dr. Gowda assessed the problem and determined a course of action.  She did this very thoughtfully, with reference to my past medical history.  She prescribed an infusion protocol and carefully monitored its progress, making adjustments as necessary in a timely manner.  At all times she seemed aware of my situation, even when my care was moved to my home, with frequent blood draws by visiting nurses, and two in-office visits. In addition, Dr. Gowda has the right persona for an infectious disease specialist.  Not only does she exhibit a calm, studious manner, she is also very courteous, kind, and pleasant.  This is exactly how a physician should practice the science and art of medicine.  I was very comfortable with her as a complete caregiver, and would not hesitate to recommend her to others. 2.)  Dr. Gowda is backed by a staff that also exhibits the same traits as she does. Those working the front desk were efficient, yet cheerful.  The nurses were skilled and cordial.  This atmosphere  helps put the patients at ease. 3.)  Dr. Gowda is part of a medical practice that I have dealt with before when hospitalized in 2019, i.e., Infectious Disease Consultants.  Although she did not work with me then, three of her colleagues did. Drs. Trevor Uyemura and Stephen Weinroth were the first two to see me and assess my situation.  Dr. Gelareh Alavi successfully concluded my case and sent me home.  All were serious professionals.  And Dr. Alavi‘s cordial wrap up and felicitous push to get me out of the hospital in time for a Weird Al concert that evening has convinced me that Dr. Gowda‘s practice as a whole is a superb place to seek care when confronted by a serious infectious disease.

Developed an infection after a surgical procedure and the pathogen proved resistant to all oral antibiotics, so I was admitted to the hospital. Dr. Gowda handled my case at the hospital and continued management when sent home for continued infusions. 1.)  She determined a thoughtful course of action with reference to my past medical history and carefully monitored its progress, making adjustments as necessary in a timely manner. Dr. Gowda has the right persona for an infectious disease specialist. Not only does she exhibit a calm, studious manner, she is also very courteous, kind, and pleasant — exactly how a physician should practice the science and art of medicine. I was very comfortable with her as a complete caregiver, and would not hesitate to recommend her to others. 2.)  Dr. Gowda is backed by a staff that also exhibits the same positive traits as she does. The front desk was efficient, yet cheerful. The nurses were skilled and cordial. This puts the patients at ease.

I never like going to doctors, but when I did, it was great being able to work through my issues with De. Gowda.

So patient and responsive! Dr Gowda really seems to listen - and remembers so much about me personally. Feels like the family doctors that I used to have as a child that knew and cared about the whole family.

Not sure why someone mentioned Dr. Gowda to be insensitive and judgemental. She does provide "tough love", but that is exactly what the doctor ordered! I am glad that she provided me with clarity on my condition and a good treatment/approach.

Dr Gowda is amazing!! I recently went through a serious health crisis and Dr Gowda was with me every step of the way. When I was unresponsive in the hospital she took extra time with my family to make sure they understood my treatment plan. I will be forever grateful for the care I received from Dr Gowda and her team.

Insensitive doctor who doesn't listen. Overall terrible.

This doctor is absolutely terrible. A mean person who doesn't care about her patients. Waste of time and money. Stay away. She is judgemental and not smart. The only thing that makes this place somewhat fine is the staff that works under the doctor.

I found Dr Gowda very responsive to my presenting problem. She was attentive and answered my many questions. She also quickly diagnosed the situation as I had already been a couple of weeks misdiagnosed. I will be making another appointment with her as soon as possible for a new problem.
