Explanation

I visited Dr Brincat in April 2022, after 18 months of being ill and having been discharged from hospital with a diagnosis of kidney stones and long-covid. Within minutes of my appointment with Dr Brincat he said he didn't think it was my kidneys and said let's forget about long covid and start at the beginning. He took the time to speak with me and my wife to obtain as much information as possible, I never once felt like I was being hurried and for the first time in a long time I felt like someone was really listening to me. He then arranged for 2 tests that I had not had. Both tests came back positive with an infection in the heart and spine. I would 100% recommend Dr Brincat, he is very professional, compassionate, listened and very thorough and as a result of his diagnosis, I was immediately admitted into hospital for open heart surgery, which ultimately saved my life.

I have been under the care of Dr Brincat for several years now and find him to be both professional but with a fantastic personalised approach. He takes the time to consider all options for treatment whilst putting the patient first. He has gone above and beyond in his care for me to ensure I receive the best possible outcome for my diagnosis and ensures I am always up to date with any changes or new therapies.

When I had an unexpected kidney problem I felt very confident, and hopeful, in Dr Brincat’s hands. He made it easy for me to understand the problem, clearly explained every step of the way and made me feel that he was there for me all the way. He was extremely helpful in helping to arrange specialised tests and happy to work with my GP. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of his specialist skills.

Dr Brincat went above and beyond to ensure I had all the information and support I needed. He shows empathy and explains clearly his approach and what the next steps are. After our session, he continued in touch sending me useful articles to read by email and ensuring I had the support I needed away from the clinic. I can't thank Dr Brincat enough for everything he has done for me, and consequently for my family.

He listened to my concerns, and answered my questions with clarity. He asked many questions which I initially felt were not relevant, but he explained the significance which then made sense! He was re-assuring, and made me feel that he had done a thorough check and analysis prior to discharging me, and providing me and my GP with follow-up monitoring.
