Patient Testimonials

I had to have a phone consultation with Dr. Murrell because I live in Canada, but he made me feel very reassured and was extremely kind and knowledgeable. Then when I actually went to LA for my appointment, he could not have been nicer. Completely kind, professional and extremely friendly. I am completely happy with his work and would definitely go back to him again with any other concerns. Great experience for a very nervous patient.
