My first impression of Dr. Murr was how cute is he. Then, I was so impressed with how he treated me with so much respect, unlike many doctors do. I liked him from the first time I talked with him. My rate of Dr. Murr's office and staff is top notch that is what they are a bunch a classy people. I thank them from the bottom of my heart.
I would not recommend Dr Murr to my worst enemy and his assistant Martha is the biggest bitch I have ever met!! Dr. Murr never showed up before my surgery and I did not see him until 3 day's later. He must of been a butcher to pay his way through medical school. I just thank god that I am still alive and had no complications because if it was up to the nurses they would of just left me there to die.
my surgeon sucked I just thank god I am alive. He did not show up before my surgery and I did not see him until 3 day's later he never went to the waiting room to tell my husband I was ok either. My scar is huge he must of been a butcher while he paid his way through medical school. I would not recommend his to my worst enemy!!!
MY FIRST IMPRESSION WAS THAT HE WAS A VERY THOROUGH DOCTOR. IT HAS ALSO TAKEN ME SOME TIME TO GET TO SEE THIS DOCTOR. I STARTED RESEARCHING THIS SURGERY SINCE SEPT. 2001. I DIDEN'T GET AN APPT WITH THE DOCTOR TILL MARCH OF 2002. THEN I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL DECEMBER 2002 TO SEE HIM AGAIN AND THEN HE SUGGESTED I GET A SECOND OPINION FROM A HEART DOCTOR BECAUSE OF MY STRESS TEST I HAD TAKEN IN AUGUST 2002. I HAD THAT APPT JAN. 2003. I HAD ALL MY OTHER TESTING DONE SO NOW I HAVE AN APPT. WITH MY 2ND CARDIOLOGIST ON FEB 25. HE WANTS ME TO HAVE A CATHERIZATION, SO I HAVE TO WAIT TILL I SEE HIM TO SCHEDULE THAT TEST. SO YOU SEE I HAVE QUITE DETERMINATION BECAUSE I HAVE REALLY WAITED A LONG TIME FOR THIS. WE REALLY DID NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING ELSE UNTIL HE SEES THE RESULTS OF THAT TEST. I HOPE I WON'T HAVE TO WAIT TOO LONG I AM GETTING ALITTLE DISCOURAGED. AFTER ALL I AM NOT GETTING ANY YOUNGER. I WILL BE 55 IN APRIL, SO IT'S IMPERATIVE I HAVE THIS DONE ASAP.
i thought dr murr was absolutley wonderful. it did take quite a while for my first apt (7 mths) but he and the staff were great. i did notice that i had a problem w/them getting faxes from consults but once this was resolved everything was wonderful. the surgery went very well....and the horror stories i had heard about the hospital staff completely untrue. the only drawback was that dr murr has quite a few residents working w/him so on subsequent visits i did not get the chance to see him....i had heard that his bedside manner was not so great but actually the day of my 1st post op visit he was leaving early because he had hurt his back the day before and although you could see he was in bovious pain he made a point to stop me on his way out and comment on how much better i looked and how glad he was to see me. i honestly can't say enough good about him
I had my appointment with Dr. Murr on Dec. 2.
I met with his assistant first, he took all my medical info., asked a few questions, he was very nice. then Dr. Murr came in and reviewed my medical history, explained the surgery and complications that could occur. I thought he was very kind and informative.
I heard from some other people that he didn't have a good beside manner. I didn't think so, but it really wouldn't matter to me, I don't need him to hold my hand, I just want the best surgeon!! He comes reccomended as one of the best surgeons in the area for this surgery! His office staff was very friendly and Martha's an angel!
He does have a structured aftercare program and a great nutritionist Jennifer, who attends most support group meetings!
I HAVE ONLY SEEN DR. MURR ONCE. AT FIRT I
THOUGHT HE WAS KINDA STAND OFFISH AND NOT
VERY FRIENDLY, BUT THEN AFTER I LEFT AND THOUGHT ABOUT IT. HE WAS VERY UP FRONT, HONEST, AND MADE EYE CONTACT WITH ME, WHICH I LIKE VERY MUCH. I HAVE BEEN TOLD HE IS VERY GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES, AND TAKES PRIDE IN IT. I CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE MY SURGERY, JUST WAITING ON INSURANCE NOW....
1st impresstion he was he was really cute, and serious about the procedure. My opinion of him didn't change he is a great surgeon. THe office staff is ok.
future patients need to know that he takes his job very serious and wants to educate his patient of how serious this procedure is. that you cannot take it lightly.
he tells you the risks upfront, and the aftercare that you have to do, your vitamins monthly followups with your primary care dr, and followups with him. overall i would rate him very highly and can never thank him enough for helping me save my life.
surgical competence are better.
only thing negative i would say, not about dr murr, but the anthiesologst who stuck the tube down my throat while i was awake, i didn't like that at all. and that they need to invest in a better medication then the clear goo they make you swallow and gag yourself right before you go under the knife, was the worst experience.
