I went to Dr Murino with potentially worrying symptoms after my GP requested to be urgently seen by a specialist. Dr Murino has been very attentive and clear in each step, from assessing the issue to diagnosing after performing some tests (colonscopy - that he performed in person - and abdominal scan). Tests were arranged fast and despite the covid delays, colonscopy went exceptionally well, no side effects at all and he has also been extremely understanding and helped managed my anxiety during the test. Competent specialist. Highly recommended.
