Dr. Muruve diagnosed a problem another doctor at another facility had missed. He has "fixed" the issue and I am very grateful to have access to such a fine urologist and clinic so close to home. The follow-up visit was informative. He had a medical student in attendance and I was able to observe how he explained not only to me in layman's terms how the issue was resolved during surgery but then turned to the medical student and gave her a more technical briefing using medical terminology. I would recommend Dr. Muruve and his nursing staff to anyone with kidney or bladder issues. He is a true professional and inspires confidence.
