Dr. Richard Murray, MD

Excellent experience, medically and communication-wise. Superbly professional skills combined with human interaction. One could not ask for better results.

Dr. Murray will take the time to explain everything to you. He even noticed an issue on my MRI that the Radiologist did not! Excellent care, very professional and an outstanding surgeon. I wouldn't go to anyone else.

always through and patient.

I met Dr. Murray in 2017. I had a very large tumor. He is highly skilled, very professional, a straight shooter, and the list could go on and on. His team of surgeons were incredible. They kept my wife, of 3-weeks, informed during my lengthy surgery. I made her feel more at ease. I truly believe, and this is not a joke, that if I had blown of seeing a doctor (which I was very good at), and not met with Dr. Murray, I would not be here today writing this review.This is the doctor you need to see!!!

Dr. Murray provided me with the best care and information about my health status. The surgery went well and recovery was great.

Dr. Murray is an amazing doctor! His level of detail to us both pre and post op were extremely reassuring and his bedside manner was very comforting. We are so grateful to him for how well he took care of me.

The visit was great, as always! Dr. Murray's staff is very professional and helpful in answering questions and scheduling appointments. Dr. Murray is very proficient and thorough with his exams and answering any questions. Dr. Murray explains any test, MRI results, perfectly and easily to understand.

Dr. Murray cared for an urgent neurological deficit and resolved it with a minimally invasive procedure. His bedside manner and experience put me at ease. His surgical acumen was demonstrated with a rapid recovery. Should I need neurosurgical care in the future, I will be visiting Dr. Murray again.

Very professional, attentive to detail, communication is above and beyond.

Dr. Murray is an outstanding surgeon in all respects: talented, precise, communicative, solicitous, caring, great bedside manner, expeditious, knowledgeable, detailed, insightful & successful with his surgeries. He's also a very nice, gracious person who listens, evaluates and explains complex medical issues extremely well. For example, when I arrived at Virginia Hospital Center at midnight in a very precarious state, he was there immediately, took charge of required medications and mapped out a detailed plan for immediate monitoring of my condition in intensive care and eventually performing surgery to address the neurological issue. Since my discharge from the hospital, he has continued to closely monitor my recovery. He saved me from death or at least an abnormal life going forward. I have complete confidence in him and so highly recommend him to others with neurological disorders that may require surgery.

I would recommend Dr. Murray for anyone that needs a neurosurgeon. He is a wonderful and caring Doctor.

Dr. Murray has excellent communication skills in addition to technical skills. He carefully explained the situation, the surgery and the out come to me before and after unexpected surgery. Him and his staff created a claim environment during a crisis.

Everything went well, from fast scheduling, to quick answers to any questions before and after surgery, to surgery precisely to the announced schedule, and good follow-up during the hospital stay, and special effort to get me discharged quickly.One appointment was Telehealth, the rest in person.

The care and support

I was diagnosed with a 3.7 cm Acoustic Neuroma in February 2024. Dr. Murray performed my retrosigmoid suboccipital surgery in June 2024. I was scared because I was told I might lose all hearing in my right ear.After the surgery, I had dizziness and headaches for ten days, but then I improved significantly. I still have normal hearing in my left ear and about 40% hearing in my right ear, which I’m getting used to.Dr. Murray did a fantastic job, ensuring my facial nerve remained intact despite the tumor's size. I had no fluid leakage or balance issues. I’m very grateful to Dr. Murray for his skill, follow-up care, and patience in answering all my questions.

After discovering that I would need surgery to remove a meningioma, I was referred to Dr. Murray. During our first meeting he put me at ease, listened to and answered my questions, and explained the the procedure to me. His demeaner and expertise are excellent. My follow up meetings with him have been reassuring and I am confident that future meetings will be as well.

Dr. Murray has done two surgeries on me and both surgeries had excellent outcomes. He was very thorough and careful in his diagnosis before the surgeries and post operative follow up visits. I do not hesitate in recommending him.

Dr. Richard Murray makes meFeel confident that my healthcare is in his hands. He is meticulous, forthcoming, and detailed oriented. It’s always easy to speak with him about my current medical status and any concerns.

Dr Murray instilled confidence from day 1 as he advised me on surgery related to a hemangioma in my spinal column. The actual surgery was an excellent and very successful job, with hardly any pain afterwards and great recovery. I can recommend him 150%.

His extremely clear explanation of why I needed surgery, the risks, and what to expect allowed me to make an informed decision. He and his team moved heaven and earth to get me to surgery in 3 working days. He and everyone on his team were very caring and friendly, clearly answered all my questions, and took care of me with great skill and compassion. With great skill during a complex surgery, he completely cured my problem, He kept me well informed every day, so I would not worry. I could not have had better care.
