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.

Bells Palsy treatment
I presented to Thomas Memorial Hospital with an obvious Bells Palsy. I was put into bed and the next morning had an MRI. Dr Murthy was called to treat me. Instead of examining my face, he stood at my bedside and complained about Medicare. Thanks for his lack of care I heave a permanent droop in my right eye. I wouldn't recommend Dr Murthy for dog catcher.

When I first started having seizures he was the first doctor I saw. He wasn’t my doctor for long. He didn’t do anything to help, actually everything he did made everything worse. I went from my seizures being manageable and being able to still work, to having them every day and barely being able to walk. I then ended up having to spend a lot of time in different hospitals and seeing multiple different doctors. I have recommended to people that they should not see him!

Dr. Murthy himself is great and highly knowledgeable; however the office itself runs like molasses. Even after arriving early for you appointment, be prepared to wait several hours just to be seen as the secretarial staff is extremely busy eating lunch or taking personal calls. Don’t schedule an appointment if you have anywhere else to be that day.
