Dr Murinova is amazing
Dr Murinova is a real expert in her domain. Her treatment plan is effective and her follow up instructions are really helpful.
Excellent service. Doctor knew time was limited and made the very most of time available. Came away nearly euphoric - was heard and developed an excellent plan forward.
Dr. Murinova is one of the best providers I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. She cares very deeply for her patients well-being. She keeps up on current research in order to provide patients with the most current and effective [...] treatments. She has been my neurologist for years and my [...] remain manageable as a result of her willingness to advocate for the right treatments and consider alternative forms of treatment.
Extraordinarily patient, informative, caring, and attentive.
Dr. Morinova was very helpful with figuring out a treatment plan for me.
A god send for me. She was very thorough. Time was taken and did not feel rushed at all.
Dr. Murinova makes me feel like I am important and she will take all the time I need. I am extremely lucky to have the attention of such an experienced, knowledgeable, ethical and caring specialist
The doctor is far beyond superb. I've been trying to deal with these issues for decades. Finally somebody who not only understands but who "sees" me and hears me. She's one of the best doctors I've ever seen and in the quest to address these issues, I've seen a LOT of doctors, but none as smart, none as informed, none as open to seeing the whole picture.
*Dr. Murinova is really great asset in UW. She knows exactly what she's doing. Best headache doctor I've seen so far. [...]
I've already recommended this provider to several others! So thorough, compassionate, supportive, and all around wonderful.
[...] Dr. Murinova [...] She is a jewel!
Dr Murinova is awesome!!
Dr. Murinova was terrific.
Dr Murinova is EXCELLENT!
Dr. Murinova is an excellent neurologist. I would recommend her to anyone close to me who would need her expertise. She is an asset to UW.
I would have preferred to have a discussion with the provider about my symptoms rather than sitting through a generic lecture on migraines and medications.
High praise to Dr. Natalia Murinova. My only regret is that we couldn't keep talking about the world outside my treatment! She listened to everything I said, didn't doubt my lived experience, and was empathetic and engaged at every moment. [...], was also a joy to speak with. Id recommend anyone be served by the amazing people at the clinic.
Natalia Murinova is so kind, compassionate and caring.
Both the nurse [...] and Dr. Murinova were polite, professional, and helpful. One of my better appointment there. :)
