A real person answered the phone and took care of my apt scheduling right away. When I arrived I waited maybe 5 mins and he came out to get me - not a nurse or staff member but himself! Then his exam was extremely thorough and the second visit was the same. He explained it so clearly. This man is amazing and I highly recommend him!

Dr. Murphy seems knowledgeable, experienced. Took time to explain my problem and treatment options. Answered all of my questions. Recommended doctors to perform the procedure. Because my condition was urgent he saw me the same day I called. His staff was great. No one rushed me at any point. They scheduled MRI and the procedure with another doctor the next morning! They pre-certified the MRI with my insurance while I waited. Tremendous all-around.

I will never forget this doctor as long as I live. My daughter was very ill, born with complicated special needs. One day she was in the hospital not doing well, I had to work late as a single mother trying to balance life. Dr. Murphy heard she was there in the hospital stopped by to see her but what was so compelling and unusual he saw she hadn't eaten so he opened her jar foods;sat there and talked with her and fed her. I'm sure he was very busy and could of been doing anything but he took the time to feed my baby and cared for her until I arrived. My heart sank and jaw dropped in shock....you never see that in a Doctor. He holds a special place in my heart for a lifetime.

Dr. Murphy is prompt with a great 'bedside manner'. He spends as much time with his patients as is necessary to understand their condition and the option available to them.

Really patient, explains everything, thoughtful, seems exceptionally knowledgeable. I did not check follow up because it isn't necessary in my case.

The first time I went to Dr Murphy office I didn't know what expect. The staff was warm and friendly and comforting, they called me back with smiles.. still nervous I sat in room waiting on the doctor,when he walked in he was very patient and warm and took his time with me. He brought in a film giving me some disturbing news and options helping me to choose the best one..with the news that I had about my brain you would think that I would of passed out but this kind and gentle man the way he told me I knew he cared and that he was trusting so thank you Dr Murphy for making me feel right at home my day was most pleasant, i even laughed a lot which is good for the soul. signed pp
