Very competent and eager to help. Explained my options and made suggestions for future treatment. Made appointment with a back/spine specialist to follow up as my biggest problem or additional problem could be emanating from my low back. Very professional.
Dr. Murrieta is a great doctor. He is kind and honest He does a great job explaining the current situation and all possible outcomes. And willing to answer any questions and concerns. A+!
Dr, McMurtrie, is an awesome Orthopedic doctor who treated me with respect, dignity and care when I visited him for my left shoulder rotator cuff tear at TOC, Madison location. I was under his care for almost two years. His feedback always provided me with self-assurance of what to expect for recovery after surgery. More importantly, Dr. McMurtrie cares a lot about the patient and provided me with excellent care to include recommendations in the best interest of surgery or helping with pain management. I had to put off surgery due to relocating to Williamsburg, Virginia. I was looking forward to having Dr. McMurtrie do a reverse shoulder rotator replacement surgery this fall. He was more than willing to recommend an Orthopaedic surgeon located in the area. I will be remised if I didn’t provide a positive review for his thorough findings and unwavering care.
Helped me fully understand my condition and options. Patients. Showed concern for my other developing medical issues and directed me to see my primary doctor right away. I did not feel like he wanted to hurry me out.
Dr . McMurtrie was very knowledgeable and addressed my issue with leaving me feeling valued and listened to. I would definitely recommend him.
