I've been a patient of Dr. Murphy for 11 years he always listens to you and explains your option with the details. Dawn is a very professional and helping person I love going to his office.

Dr. Murphy is the best doctor in the business. He speant well over an hour with me explaining my injury and options. His secretary Dawn is the absolute best! She is very personable, extremely helpful and always a pleasure to talk to. She and Dr. Murphy are a great duo!

His receptionist in the Madison office, Betsey, is so unprofessional! She is always eating at her desk, carries on long and loud conversations with patients or staff (whoever will listen) while you are in the waiting room and she is very rude and makes one feel guilty when asking for information. She is always "too busy" or "overwhelmed". I dread going to see Dr. Murphy because of her.
