Dr Murphy was very pleasant & professional. I am happy I chose him.
The only thing I didn't like is I have extreme pain for meniscus tear and he didn't want to prepare pain meds.
Very nice… direct …. Doesn’t sugar coat his diagnosis! He was very thorough in explaining my condition as well.
So lucky to have him and his practice SOS in Jacksonville. Best-in-class in every respect.
Dr Murphy is great and extremely knowledgable. The staff is excellent as well.
First time seeing him "post surgery 5/23/25, and he shared more with me regarding my surgery. Received a Cortisone shot to help reduce swelling more and aid in my PT and he added for me to get a Patella Hinged Knee Brace as he felt that would be helpful now. Glad I saw him.
By 10:30 am you’re already 50 minutes behind. You make the call…good or bad??
Very kind
Dr Murphy is great!
Murphy is always awesome!!!
