Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Though I was only with Dr. Murray-Leisure for a short while (health insurance changes), she was so very kind, helpful, and really got to get to know me. I get very (very, very, very) anxious about going to the doctor but after my first visit with her I no longer felt that way, and I did not think that was possible. She made me feel comfortable throughout my entire visit and was the exact same way throughout the rest of my visits with her. I recently went on a trip out of the country and I called Dr. Murray-Leisure (last minute) for any advice and we had a long conversation over the phone and she gave me so many helpful tips. I thought to myself after how caring she is and how she really did not have to talk to me over the phone about this and could have asked me to set up an appointment, but she so kindly went out of her way to make sure I knew as much as I could going into my trip. I'm sad to leave her & wish I did not have to, but I would recommend Dr. Murray Leisure to anyone.

Dr. Murray was recommended by an entomologist. She did a thorough and thoughtful exam of my symptoms and statements. Although my PCP had tested for Lyme, (negative), my symptoms indicated tick borne illness. Dr. Murray ordered tests that showed 2 infections from the tick bite that had gone undetected. Treatment with three antibiotics specific to the infections finally put me back on the road to health. Dr. Murray's clinical abilities made the difference in my case. Hope East Sandwich

The worst doctor I have ever seen. Her lack of knowledge and compassion was beyond lacking. Unwilling to listen or to recommend any proper treatment or advice. Misdiagnosed, which lead to delay in treatment and further complications. Would not recommend this doctor to anyone. Don't waste your time!

I suffered needlessly with this doctor! I had several issues stemming from a spinal injury that she told me was the result of getting older and entering menopause. I was told to basically get used to the pain. And despite telling her I had a family history and all the symptoms of hypothyroidism she refused me a specialist visit! I went to a new doctor and all was treated! I am a completely new person! If you have Lyme Disease she's fine, otherwise stay away!

I would not recommend her to anyone. She provided no recommendations other than getting vaccinated. She spent much of the appointment looking up primary care doctor and their background. Just said she would tell them what to do. Didn't even order blood work. Useless. Poor communicator and poor listener. Just kept repeat g she didn't prescription e opiates which was not why we were there.

Seeing Dr Murray for Lyme Disease. She takes it seriously and treats it aggresively. She is very thorough with background/symptoms questions. Ordered many tests in addition to Lyme to rule things out. Very thoughtful person.
