Dr. Muruve is an awesome doctor. I've been his patient for more than 10 years. He had been patiently monitoring a cyst on my kidney. Every year he had me do several tests to ensure that my cyst wasn't growing. He finally told me it's time to remove it. Well thank God he did. It turned out to be kidney carcinoma.
