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.

Great Quality Care!
Dr. Murphy is a courteous, professional surgeon. He has a wonderful demeanor with his patients. He is conservative and explains everything thoroughly. Unlike many surgeons, he is not eager to rush surgery. He makes sure you understand everything and is comfortable with all outcomes. We trust him as our doctor and surgeon. We plan on keeping him!

Hernia Surgery
Scheduled me for a hernia surgery and had me waiting over five hours after my 9 AM appointment. I had to wait 5 hours on the day of my surgery in a dirty, crowded waiting room. No contact from the doctor. if you need surgery go somewhere else.

Dr. Murphy has performed two surgeries on me in the last 17 years and his expertise and professional manner were perfect for me. I particularly enjoy how he will describe the complete procedure and how the recovery will be. As a profession pilot I want to know everything that I will be facing before the procedure. Dr Murphy and his staff are outstanding in every way.

I brought my 97 year old mother who was suffering from a prolapsed anus. If it didn't get better, he recommended I drive her down to West Fort Lauderdale , two and one half hours one way for a minor outpatient surgery that could be done locally. It seemed the staff was more interested in bleeding a patient dry than giving any type of quality health care.

I had a really wonderful experience with Dr. Murphy. I was in the ER on Saturday morning and he was there within 30 minutes of being admitted. He knew just what was wrong and began my treatment of antibiotic and CT Scan. Such a professional. Are community is so fortunate to have a hospital like Cleveland Clinic Vero Beach and a Dr. like Dr. Murphy.

Dr. Murphy came highly recommended as a surgeon by my regular physician. I was very grateful that he moved me in as quickly as possible since I was in great pain with my gallbladder. He and his team treated me wonderful and I was very content knowing I was in good hands! His staff was also very nice and helpful. Would highly recommend him to family and friends without hesitation.

Dr. Murphy just performed colonresection surgery on me. I cannot say enough about him from before surgery til after. He was very kind and caring and listened to my fears and he answered my questions. He explained everything and put my fears at rest . His bedside manner is remarkable. I was little hestitant, do to a past surgery with another doctor that did not go well. This being a major surgery I could not have asked for a better more compensating doctor. I would recommend Dr Murphy to all.

I've had many surgeries in the last 16 years. Dr. Murphy is the one doctor that stands out. He is a caring surgeon who listens to his patients concern. He doesn't rush you when you see him at his office. He wants to make sure all your questions are answered. He takes time to explain the surgical procedure that will be done. I would recommend him to all of my family and friends. His personality, disposition and patient care is number one.

Dr. Murphy has performed three major surgeries for me over the last nine years. All have been successful without any post-op complications. He is warm, caring, exudes self confidence, has a great bedside manner, explains in detail what to expect and how to prepare for the best recovery possible. He is the best of the best.

I just adore Dr. Murphy, excellent surgeon with a personable bed side manner. Dr. Murphy performed the Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery on me in May and everything went very well. Dr. Murphy met if not exceeded my expectations, he thoroughly explained my procedure and I was surprisingly calm throughout the entire process. I personally feel your in great hands with choosing Dr. Murphy as your surgeon.
