Dr. Murphy was patient and kind with my five year old. He broke his arm and Dr. Murphy set up a plan for making sure he heals well.
An excellent doctor who exceeded my expectations.
Dr. Murphy and staff were all very professional. My foot was diagnosed on a cruise and the X-rays that were taken at Dr. Murthy’s office concurred that I had a fracture. His staff member fitted me with a “boot” and I will return in 6 weeks. Everyone was professional and concerned. I would highly recommend this office.
Dr. Murphy is attentive and listens intently to fully understand his patient.
Very professional and very informative and really cares about his patients
He let all the workers know what they needed to do that day and guided me the big my bed down the steps before I have surgery
Dr. Murphy always provides the greatest medical and gives me time to ask questions and makes sure I have a good understanding of the visit and any findings. He was my sons Orthopedic doctor during his wrestling career and has always provided excellent care.
Excellent doctor
He extremely easily understandable when explaining MRI and his surgical ways. Great bedside manner. Overall an outstanding Dr.
I have seen Dr. Murphy in the past and have received excellent care. Today was no different. He is very knowledgeable and he has a great bedside manner. I got an injection for hip bursitis and was feeling better walking out of the office. I would highly recommend him.
