Dr. Murata is an excellent doctor who is very caring, considerate & knowledgeable. He reviews all your test results in a timely manner and lets you know if there are any concerns. During both my telehealth visits and in-person examinations, Dr. Murata will always take the time to answer each of my questions. He also referred me to an excellent hematologist/oncologist for follow-up on my anemia, as well as an endocrinologist for an elevated prolactin level. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Murata for the referral to the hematologist / oncologist after additional blood tests indicated my anemia was not caused by a low iron level. Upon further testing by the oncologist, including a bone marrow biopsy, I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma cancer (in the early stage) and received chemotherapy & a stem cell transplant.
