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.

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...
