Murray Robert W MD Endocrinology

I initially wanted to see Dr. Murray, but the staff talked me into seeing his colleague Dr. Williams. I didn’t like my experience with Dr. Williams and requested to see Dr. Murray, my initial choice. They refused saying he doesn’t accept internal transfers.
Sorry Dr. Murray but Dr. Williams did not have the experience to help me and based on a specific review on Unilocal mentioning you don’t blow people off that are in ‘range’, I feel you would have been able to help me much better.

Hi,
I have been going to Dr. Murray for 22 years now. He is the only doctor that could fix me and my issues. I was tired of hearing that I was in the «normal range» only to find out, I was in the low end of the range and was miserable and tired every single day no matter what I did. A small tweaking of thyroid medicine after some more sophisticated testing fixed all of my problems. General practitioners just don’t have the same tools or the same specialized training, so for that, I am grateful for Dr. Murray. And no, naturopathic remedies didn’t work, so in this case, I needed and will continue to need traditional medicine. :)

So far so good, sent myself (kinda — asked my primary to refer me) to Dr. Murray after reading reviews here and on med sites. He agrees that my numbers, while within the «old» guidelines, are indicative of an underactive thyroid. Looking forward to what the T4 and T3 can do for me! Very nice, listened to what was going on, didn’t mind all my questions, loved his enthusiasm to get me doing better…

Great endocrinologist! Positive, compassionate, caring, and knowledgeable.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Murray for over 20 years for a thyroid problem. Once we seemed to have everything under control, I attempted to have a primary care physician manage it, but had the same experience others have mentioned: felt terrible, was told «doctor says you’re fine.» Went back to Murray after that, and have stayed with him ever since. During times when my thyroid has been acting up and unstable, Dr. Murray listens and has been available for check-​ins. Now that everything is stable, I just see him once a year for a tune-​up. He’s always very present and attentive during my appointments, and I’ve been in excellent health for years now, largely thanks to him.

He might be good but the one star is for the front desk dont bother trying to get an appointment here.

I went to another Endocrinologist in Seattle and he told me I had no problems and I wanted to flee the office the experience was so horrid. The doctor really didn’t listen and didn’t care. Dr. Murray took the time to listen, to test thoroughly everything, and found that not only was my T4 off, but also my T3 levels. That was something no one else had discovered. Since going to Dr. Murray I feel much better and still continue to see him to this day. Definitey cares about his patients and takes the time to listen.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Murray’s since 2005 after a whirlwind of health scares. Following a miserable experience with another endocrinologist (she’s no longer there) whose office was adjacent to Dr. Murray’s, I was a little reluctant but hopeful. He confirmed a diagnosis of autoimmune thyroid disease and prescribed me medication that improved my health tremendously. My initial interaction with him was worth five stars.
In the last two years I think I have outgrown Dr. Murray. The issues I’m now looking to improve, I think, require some alternative thinking, and Dr. Murray is pretty much a straight-​up allopathic physician. He’s a very smart guy, but a 15-​minute or less appointment time isn’t enough to help me manage my remaining symptoms. Three stars.
So, with an average four-​star experience, I would not hesitate recommending Dr. Murray to those who suspect they might have a thyroid disorder and who need a diagnosis. For those who have been trying to manage thyroid conditions for some time and who need extra assistance, I would suggest they consult naturopathic physicians and to do some more reading — books by Mary Shomon, and Richard & Karilee Shames, to start.
