Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I had a laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed by Dr. Murage. He was easy to talk to, explained the procedure and what to expect very clearly. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a surgeon. He is very professional, and his staff and nurses were wonderful.

I had to have my gall bladder removed. It was pretty unexpected and after just having a baby, the thought of going under was frightening! Dr. Murage has a very calm demeanor and thorough explanations of his procedures. I still felt a little anxious going into surgery, but I trusted him fully!

My daughter had to have an emergency appendectomy and was very frightened. Dr. Murage came into her hospital room and sat down with us explaining each step that would occur. He was very caring, friendly and knowledgeable. He truly seemed to care that she was uneasy and took extra time to make sure we both understood the procedure and gave us a chance to ask questions. After her surgery, he met with me and took time to make sure I knew all went well and gave post op instructions. He was awesome!
