Viji Murali works as a “pediatrician” with Krishna Sampath at 1337 Cottman Avenue in Philadelphia PA 19111. When I first went into the office with my daughter, we were both waiting in the receptionist area to take care of some paperwork. We already waited for a significant amount of time standing in front of the receptionist and the staff were taking their good old time talking about their lives. This was not acceptable to me and I complained to them that I had an appointment after this. This seemed to finally get the staff’s attention but now they were angered. Ever since then, Murali and at least one other staff member have been consistently rude with my daughter and my family. The sad part is the only reason we go there is because the other real pediatrician is there. Her name is Krishna Sampath. I have high praise for her but we have to go through Murali and at least one rude staffer. She has insulted my family and played many dirty tricks. Murali insults you with veiled insults. For example she kept asking me what I did. At first I thought she was being friendly but she then after repeated questioning by her, I realized she was trying to say I’m a “doctor” but look at you. She also kept asking where I lived. Again I thought this was for conversation but I quicky realized she was saying was I lived in a bad area and therefore am not that important. She was good at doing that. Whenever I arranged an appointment I would always ask for Dr. Sampath, but on some occasions Murali and one staff member would say Sampath is not available and tell us to go with her. Then in the exam room she would insult my daughter. When my daughter was in the exam room being with Murali she would cry. Then Murali would say “She’s mad. She’s so mad.” She was trying to say my daughter is crazy or has mental illness. She would always do in that veiled way. When my daughter was an infant and Murali examined her, she found some reddish birthmarks behind her hair in the back oh her head. She pointed them out as if my daughter was imperfect. She didn’t mention that these marks would go away in time and not to worry about it. Of course they did go away in time. One other time my 2-year old daughter was standing in the hallway just looking and Murali says “She doesn’t even smile”. She kept repeating it over and over loudly to other parents in the vicinity. She was implying something was wrong with my child or my parenting skills. One time one of the rude staffer totally changed the day of my appointment. I complained to Dr. Sampath and she straightened out the staffer right in front of me. That was great but Murali and the one worker continued with their pranks. Another thing done is that Murali will talk bad about my family and I in front of the staff. She was trying to get other staff members to dislike me. I would advice parents to stay away from this office unless you really like Dr. Sampath. She was recommended by a family member but the trouble that Murali and one of the staffers gave me was unbelievable. If you do go there, stay away from Murali. She will hurt your child’s self esteem. She drives a mazda and you know she’s there when she has it parked in the reserved parking space.

First i would like to say that the first review from "A Google User" is totally absurd! My son, who is now 5, has been going to Dr. Sampath & Dr. Murali since he was an infant and I have no complaints. The staff of nurses are great, the really make my son feel comfortable. As like most children hes a little scared of the doctors office because he thinks hes going in for shots. The way the nurses speak/joke with him sets him at ease. The doctors are very caring, they actually listen when theres an issue. Not talk over you like your concerns do not matter, or like they know it all. I would never take my son to another doctors office, I absolutely love Dr. Sampath & Murali.

I cant help but laugh at the ignorance in the previous review. Obviously the person has an issue with Dr. Murali but I can assure you her allegations are absurd. Both Dr. Sampath and Dr. Murali are sweet intelligent doctors who truly care for their patients. I have known them for over 18 years and would never take my kids anywhere else. Please do not use the previous review, I can assure you that you will be in good hands.
