Dr. Michael Murphy is an outstanding surgeon with a fabulous sense of humor. He greets his patients with a big smile, is very patient and listens carefully, thoroughly explains the procedure to be done and the results are fantastic. I barely have a scar for my carpal tunnel surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Murphy to one and all. He is the best!

Gave me an injection for trigger finger. Explained the process as he did it and gave follow up instructions. Very friendly and easy going. Could tell I was anxious and calmed me down. I would recommend him to family and friends.

Rushed, careless, arrogant, avoid this doctor. He lacks interest in patients and refuses to look at individual factors. Dealing with chronic pain or infection? He rushed me out of the office, and I wound up in ER the next day. Do not use this doctor, because he doesn't have the time for you.
