I have had 2 Colonoscopies preformed by Dr. Murphy over several years. He is one of the best doctors that I have ever met with for any problem. He is more of a people person than others in the Medical field where you may be just a number. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs to go through this procedure. Remember, Colon cancer is one of the easiest cancers to detect and everyone needs to have this procedure done when you reach the age requirements. I am a Licensed funeral director here in the state of Maryland and over the years I have seen the death rate go down on colon cancer deaths because the fact that people are getting the test down.Believe me when I say, "It's better to be inconvenienced laying on his table and getting the test down rather than laying on my table.
