Explanation

My Mother and I met Dr Brincat for an initial consultation at Shirley Oaks Hospital following the retirement of her former Nephrologist. Dr Brincat immediately made my Mother feel at ease with his pleasant and positive attitude. He was so very thorough in taking her medical history and discussed her condition in full detail with a compassionate professional manner. My Mother was very impressed with his approach to her condition and the depth he studied her previous condtions. We would highly recommend Dr Brincat for both his medical expertise and his compassionate, kind and approachable attitude to his patients.

Dr. Brincat is a true professional and one who can clearly articulate exactly in a way that makes even the most complex of issues easy to understand. Speaking from personal experience, i can say that his approach, thoroughness/attention to every detail coupled with an absolute desire and determination to find solutions and execute a plan to give his patients every chance of the best possible diagnosis and treatment is second to none. Add to this his charisma and warmth, one knows and can certainly feel from the offset that you’re in the best of hands. He leaves one each time with a sense that he cares for your wellbeing even more than oneself. Certainly for me, the best consultant experience i have had to date.
