My consultation with Ms Mary Murphy was exactly what I needed and has made a big difference. She was direct, honest and open with all my questions and was able to give an expert opinion from her own experience. Some clinicians can accidentally be dismissive or sugar coat things, but thankfully Miss Murphy was neither and the reassurance I gained was from having clear answers and being given time to ask all the little questions. She also gave advice that I can move forward with and will help for future appointments. I'm so grateful to have accessed her expert care at a time I really needed the help.

Transparent and clear. On my very complex surgery. I am 8 week post cranial and she has proven to be the right choice. When you have a brain tumour you need transparency and someone to carry you through a tough time in your life and MS Murphy has delivered on all areas. A very smooth surgery and great aftercare! Thank you !
