I saw Dr Brincat for specialist advice after my GP informed me that I had CKD. Dr Brincat had a very friendly yet professional approach. He made me feel at ease at all times and he took the time to explain his findings and the medical checks that he was putting in place. I never felt rushed during my appointments and no question I asked was ever too silly! Dr Brincat listened and always checked that I understood what he was saying. The response time from his office was always very quick too and I received confirmation of appointments and test results very quickly, sometimes with follow up calls to alleviate my concerns. I would highly recommend Dr Brincat.
Thank you for taking time to write the review. I am delighted to hear you felt the consultations were not rushed and you felt I checked with you that the explanations were clear to you. I will also pass on your positive feedback on response time to my secretary.

Dr Brincat immediately made my Mother feel at ease with his pleasant and positive attitude. He was so very thorough in taking her medical history and discussed her condition in full detail with a compassionate professional manner. My Mother was very impressed with his approach to her condition and the depth he studied her previous condtions. We would highly recommend Dr Brincat for both his medical expertise and his compassionate, kind and approachable attitude to his patients.
