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.

Very knowledgeable. He made me feel comfortable about the decisions that we were having to make. He diagnosed my colon cancer on Friday and he scheduled a late surgery for the following Monday. He takes his time to explain everything. Highly recommend Dr. Murray

Hope they call you back for an appointment. Hope it is not urgent. Waiting for 4 hours. He is a great Dr. But getting to him is another thing.

Dr. Murray seemed to be knowledgeable...but he promised to call my primary care physician 07/18/2019...his assistant called for primary care's name 8/5/19...even though they already had it ....as he was the referring physician...they let me suffer with IBD for 3 additional weeks...so...if you can wait 2 hours for an appointment and 3-4 weeks to even get on the schedule for treatment...this is your guy!

The first time I met Dr. Murray was ten years ago when he treated my mother. I liked his matter of fact and to the point personality. He is a very compassionate doctor.
