Dr. Vijay Muraliraj, MD

Dr. Muraliraj and team used their knowledge and quick analysis to save our mom. In the visits post op, he explained everything and answered all questions. Excellent bedside manner. His office staff were knowledgeable as well as quick, and very welcoming.

Unfortunately while waiting for Dr. Muraliraj, I could hear him complaining to the nurse about me. He was upset that I was early for my appointment and questioned how I got my appointment so quickly, even though I had been waiting over a month to see him. I let the office know ahead of time I had been exposed to Covid, but they told me to come in anyway if I could provide a negative test. I brought the negative test with me but no one ever asked for it or questioned me about my exposure. When I finally saw Dr. Muraliraj he was callous and seemed very unhappy to be there. He came highly recommended by another one of my doctors but I was very disappointed in our interaction and he looked at me like I was crazy when I told him what I wanted help with. I do not recommend Dr. Muraliraj.

When I first visited Dr. Muraliray's office for a colorectal surgery, he patiently explained the whole procedure needed. From surgery to recovery, he took great care to make sure I feel comfortable., and the pain from the surgery was minimal. He is knowledgeable, skillful and personable. I am blessed to have Dr Muraliray as my surgeon.

Dr. Muraliraj operated on my husband for colon cancer. Very thorough, professional, supportive, compassionate, number 1 surgeon, I highly recommend, understanding, has a lot of empathy.

Always a great experience while at the office. Doctor explains everything and ensures you understand what is going on. Very friendly staff and always ready and willing to help answer any questions.

Impecable office, friendly staff. Dr. Muraliraj is so professional and knowledgeable. Makes you feel really comfortable, very good listener and cares and keeps track of your healing process. I totally trust him!

The waiting room was large, bright, with a great TV, coffee, water, Wifi and lots of seating. The staff is very efficient. Wait a little bit was actually a pleasure.

I trust Dr . Muraliraj.

Dr. "M" is one of the top best rectal cancer surgeons in the South Bay area. He's kind, caring and will take care of you and your needs. He may appear a little shy at first, but his patients and their care are his priority. You're in good hands with Dr. "M"!

My journey began on January 18, 2019 when I was diagnosed with stage lll rectal cancer at 47. With no family history of cancer I was totally shocked and overwhelmed with the diagnosis. I first met Dr. Muraliraj later that year on April 22nd for an examination and consultation regarding the upcoming surgery. This was after a 5 week radiation and chemotherapy regiment. He was well mannered and spoke with such an easiness. His demeanor was that of concern but was very confident and thorough in describing the procedure and risks that came with the surgery. Throughout the course of this process he had consistently maintained a level of professionalism and never left without asking if I had any questions. The time finally arrived and a large tumor with several lymph nodes along with a section of my rectum was removed using an advanced laparoscopic procedure, which took a pain staking 8 hours. His devotion and passion in practicing medicine is what would eventually save my life.

Dr. Muraliraj is very professional, knowledgeable, and skillful. He describes issues/situations/symptoms very clearly in both scientific and regular language. He did a laparoscopic colorectal surgery on me. The outcome is optimal and very positive: almost no pain, recovery faster than expected. A truly outstanding colorectal surgeon in Torrance California.

His medical explanations were thorough & answered any questions. Followed up with call when he said he would. Reviewed pre-surgical testing results in a very timely manner. Surgery then scheduled ASAP. Dr. M. thorough at hospital visits: checked surgical site, explained progress & discharge. He practices the most current surgical techniques. Beautifully healed surgical site. Office staff professional & efficient in scheduling, verifying insurance & providing information. Most positive outcome!

Very capable, friendly and efficient.

Dr. Muraliraj did my surgery for a twisted bowel, at Torrance Memorial hospital. He was easy to talk to before I went in for the surgery. He made me feel comfortable that I was in the right hands. He was very personable. I was fortunate to have him as my surgeon. I would recommend him for anyone needing colon or rectal surgery.

I went to the ER in the first part of April in a lot of pain in my abdomen. My gallbladder was perforated and infected. Dr. Muraliraj did a great job making sure that the gallbladder was the only affected area that I had, he had his team run several tests so that he knew exactly what he had to do. I am forever grateful for his amazing work. I would highly recommend Dr. Muraliraj and his team. They are no.1 as far as I'm concerned. Thank You Again Doctor, Tony Ordaz

Dr. Muraliraj recommended I have the laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy surgery to alleviate my diverticulitis which I have had three flares of in the last year,I had many questions which were all answered before my surgery,I had far less pain with surgery than with the diverticulitis it has been three weeks since my surgery and Dr. Vijay Muraliraj was right on with he diagnosis and recommendation for surgery! This doctor comes highly recommended by my gastroenterologist and now my self!

Had gallbladder removal by Dr. Muraliraij on 3/22/2018 using Laparoscopy surgery. He did a super excellent job, very professional! All stomach pain caused by the infected gallbladder were gone immediately after the surgery. Am recovering well.

Dr. Muraliraj is very knowledgeable and a skilled surgeon with a fantastic human quality which puts his patients and their families at ease. He takes the extra time that is needed even when other surgeons do not. I would highly recommend him for any colorectal surgery based on the experience we had with his expertise and surgery for a family member.

Dr. Muraliraj is the kind of doctor that everyone wishes they could have. He is caring, conscientious, thoughtful and knowledgeable. He takes time to clarify any procedures and always takes whatever time is needed to address any concerns you might have. He never makes you feel rushed and goes out of his way to make your experience a comfortable and positive one. His gentle and thoughtful approach to patient care is admirable.

Dr. Vijay helped me decide about how to proceed with my issues. I think he was direct and helpful. I'm much more confident in my choice of procedure and I owe that to him. You'll be lucky to have him as your doctor!
