The reviews listed below were collected independently of Alabama Orthopaedic Clinic through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Dr. Murphy is an outstanding orthopedic doctor. He takes the time to listen, genuinely cares about his patients, and never makes me feel rushed. He thoughtfully considers my concerns and explains things clearly. I am not sure how he makes knee injections painless. Montgomery is blessed to have such a skilled surgeon in our area.

His work gave me so much of my life back. It’s still a long road ahead and I feel fortunate that I get the opportunity to rebuild from the ground up. Thank you Dr. Murphy.

As always doctor Murphy is attentive when listening to my concerns post op. Reassures when things are normal and assures if the symptoms persist he will evaluate further. He doesn't write off your concerns
