Years ago when Dr. Murphy was working at MCLEAN Hospital in Belmont, Massachusetts. My son was Dr. Murphy's patient. He was kind enough to allow me to sit in on a visit. I was most impressed with all his skills for my son. I

Under Dr. Murphy's care I remained out of the hospital for many years between 2002-2006. When I factor-in the corrupt political interests that gave me a lifetime demonization narrative.... he really did do his very best to help. COINTELPRO is real, and this horribly oppressive Federal program continues to destroy many people labeled with a psychiatric diagnosis. Dr. Murphy is a good man. Highly recommended!!

Is very kind and compassionate about care of patients. Intelligent, as well as being personable. Is well-versed in care of depression, as i am sure he is other illnesses of our minds. grief has overwhelmed me knowing he is leaving his practice in pursuit of another aspect of medicine. There is a great void left behind.

If you're looking for a psychiatrist, then you should try to get an appointment with him. He's a brilliant diagnosticin and very unarming; puts you at ease with his genuine delighted yet concerned demeanor. His credentials say it all for him academically.

Dr Murphy has been my doctor for three years, he is wonderful. He is calm, patient, always willing to listen and spend as much time as needed that is necessary. My only complaint could be his punctuality which has greatly improved since he changed his practice to centennial. I would recommend him to anyone.
