After my last visit I was left feeling very reassured. Dr Brincat’s vast knowledge and understanding of his specialty is the reason for always going away reassured. He has a knack of being able to explain my treatment and its progress in a way that is easy to understand. He is kind and always generous with his time. In short I can thoroughly recommend him as a knowledgeable, kind, and reassuring Doctor who is always very generous with his time, and patience.

I would recommend Dr Brincat very highly. I sought Dr Brincat’s advice regarding my elderly parents, both of whom have complex medical needs, including significant kidney problems. Finding the right kidney specialist and consultant nephrologist was extremely important to me, and I feel very fortunate to have found someone of his calibre. The consultation was exceptional. Dr Brincat gave me considerably more than I had hoped for: he took the time to listen carefully to the entire situation, considered the various issues in context, and explained his thinking with remarkable clarity. Despite the complexity of the medical circumstances, he was able to make difficult renal issues understandable without ever being dismissive or rushing through the details. What impressed me most was the combination of deep renal expertise, sound clinical judgement and genuine humanity. It is one thing to find a doctor who possesses extensive knowledge of kidney disease; it is quite another to find a specialist who can apply that knowledge thoughtfully to a frail elderly patient with multiple competing medical problems, while also giving the family the time and reassurance they need. I came away from the consultation with a much clearer understanding of my parents’ situation and, importantly, a sense that I was finally speaking to someone who could see the whole clinical picture rather than just one part of it. In my experience, Dr Brincat is an outstanding renal specialist: knowledgeable, thorough, compassionate and exceptionally generous with his time. His advice was invaluable, and his ma...

Thank you so much for a such an extremely detailed review. A genuine delight to be of help to both your parents, I am pleased to hear you did not feel rushed, you felt reassured - without receiving any false reassurance - the advice provided was tailored to your parents with multiple competing medical problems, and you came away with a clearer understanding at the end of the consultations. I much appreciate your kind and thoughtful words. All the very best wishes to you all.
