Mr David J Murray provides excellent and clear communication during patient interactions. He explains complex conditions and treatment options in detail, instilling confidence and providing significant pain relief for hand and wrist issues. Patients report successful surgical outcomes with swift recovery and minimal scarring from various procedures. A major area of his work involves carpal tunnel decompression, resulting in successful patient outcomes.
Clear evaluation of the presenting problem, given options to treatment but given clear guidance for best option with justification. Procedure day was a straight forward experience. Given clear after care instructions with appropriate follow up. Reassured I could easily seek further follow up if developed any issues in recovery period.
I recently underwent a CMC joint replacement (I think it's called that) for an arthritic thumb, performed by David. Having previously had two successful but brutally painful knee replacements, I was incredibly anxious about the recovery this time around. David assured me that the post-op experience wouldn't be nearly as severe, and he was 100% correct. I’ve had very little pain and am absolutely delighted with the outcome so far. If you need this surgery, I couldn't recommend David highly enough.
Post operative review - delighted with all aspects of my care from initial assessment, day case procedure and today's follow up appointment. Mr Murray explained each stage of management clearly and the surgery was painless. I followed his advise post operatively and now have full hand function again less than 6 weeks later. I would highly recommend his expertise, and have already suggested referral to him for family member . Thank you
Mr Murray was excellent from first consultation to post operative follow up. He gave good advice & understandable explanations. I would not hesitate to recommend him.
Dr Murray was excellent. He didn't want to operate until we had ruled everything else out which we did. Once he operated, I had immediate relief. Slept better than I had in 2 years.
Mr Murray is a very caring courteous consultant. Made me feel at ease as soon as I walked through the door. He explained everything in detail and answered all my questions putting me at ease. I have had several surgeries with him all with excellent outcomes. The three hour round trip is definitely worth it wouldn’t choose anyone else now. 5🌟 consultant.
Mr Murray is the best, I cannot recommend him enough! Five Star service as always!
The whole process has been excellent from start to finish. Mr Murray is really helpful, explains everything clearly and my post-surgery results have been amazing. Hopefully I won't need another joint replacement, but I will definitely go back to him if I do.
Mr Murray was very professional, polite and helpful. I felt I was in very safe hands and would highly recommend him. I
