    Dr. Murr is so helpful and knowledgeable. He previously diagnosed for me a tooth infection masquerading as a sinus infection that multiple prior providers had missed over nearly two years of visits. This visit was brief but thorough, and the referral he gave is exactly what I need.

    I felt that the doctor didn't actually listen to the problems I was having and made up their mind about how to treat it no matter what I was going to say. I am moving forward with their care plan, but ultimately I am going to try and see my original doctor if this doesn't work.

    Dr. Murr is an excellent and expert physician. He got to the root of something that's been bothering me for almost 3 years, In about 10 minutes. He was completely open to discussing both the ailment and the treatment with me, and I feel completely confident in his prognosis and recommendation.

    Dr. Murr was great - he was methodical, listened carefully to my description of the issues I'd been having, and performed a sinus scope procedure that was surprisingly pain- and discomfort-free. He recommended additional hearing testing to research my tinnitus after determining that things were normal with my sinuses.
