Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

What a fantastic doctor!
What a Fantastic Doctor! I'm 70 years old and have been dealing with a serious issue for years. When I moved down here from New York 6 years ago I found a terrific doctor who treated me but she moved to Florida. I was nervous that I wouldn't find another doctor as good as her. I must say that Dr. Brendan Murphy is the Best doctor that I've ever had and I've had top doctors from Mount Sinai in Manhattan. He's very knowledgeable, understanding, accommodating and a pleasure to deal with. I must thank Eileen who works for Dr. Murphy, she works fast and keeps great communication which is important.

I am a 28 year old who has the body of a 98 year old when it comes to my rectal problems. When I first started looking for help, other doctors wouldn't even give me a chance to help. They automatically looked at my age and said it'll work out for itself. I finally found Murphy and he SAVED me. I swear to God. I had prolapse along with needing mesh to help secure my colon where it was supposed to be. I even had trouble in one late evening and he personally answered the phone fixed me up asap

Receiving emergency colon cancer surgery, by one of the very best surgeons, it is my honor to thank Dr. Murphy for his absolute top craftsmanship. His work as a surgeon goes beyond the necessary procedure. As passionate as he is for his work, he does not only have the advance skills a top surgeon needs, he does more; he makes sure that your body is prepared well and he makes sure that the (laparoscopic of course) incisions are minor. As a 71 year old man, I applaud him for his work and my life.

I had my gallbladder taken out by Dr. Brendan Murphy in March of 2017. I was very pleased at how the operation went and the service I recieved. I felt very comfortable and well informed. Staff worked with me to get me in quickly when I was experiencing incessant pain.
