- Treatment of the doctor
- Treatment of the staff
- Waiting time
- Condition of facilities
- I had 2 appointments with doctor Murino. I have found very difficult to communicate with him, his secretary responded to me after days or weeks ignoring me when I tried to get in touch. He prescribed me tests that I don't think where necessary, and he underestimated my condition
- Not much to say. Just a great experience. Been having issues for years and NHS slow and resistant to do anything about it. But here they take it seriously and know what they are talking about.
- Dr Murino is a rare find in the world of gastroenterology. Professional, knowledgeable and empathetic, he listens, joins the dots and comes up with solutions - which, in my experience, is rare among gastroenterologists, many of whom are dismissive or indifferent.
- I was very impressed with Dr Murino’s professionalism, competence and empathy. He listened to me carefully and recommended the best course of action. Cannot recommend him highly enough
- Excellent consultation, I am extremely happy with the outcome and the level of information I have gained during the consultation. Very professional and knowledgeable, I would highly recommend him.
- I found the doctor very easy to talk to and he followed through on everything he promised, I think the gastroenterology department at the royal Free is excellent,
- Major colon bleeds for 10 years. Treatment transfusions, fluid and Tranexamic Acid. Suggestion to look for blood disorders missed by my GP. I saw Dr Murino, for tests and a second opinion. He told me about female haemophiliacs, test showed that I am one.
- molto lieto di essere paziente ed essere seguito dal Dott. Alberto Murino
- Dr Murino is undoubtedly an excellent doctor and more importantly a very approachable and nice person. I felt at ease and reassured immediately. He explains the situation in a clear manner and I knew I was in safe hands. I would highly recommend him.
