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.

Useless
I’ve waited over a year to post this review and I honestly want to start off by saying if your child ever needs any help beyond going to “well visits” to check a box go find someone else. Literally anyone else. Dr. McMurphy should have her medical licensed revoked. She has proven her incompetence when missing some very scary things with my daughter off the bat. She also attempted to push me to go to the ER to get blood work done because I “looked pale”. When I seemed uncomfortable with that assertion especially because I am not only an extremely pale person to begin with but happened to not wear bronzer that day, she passed a list to my husband with a list of panels she wanted me to get. She made a comment about me wearing makeup when I came to our next visit. She was not treating me she was supposed to be treating our baby. She needs to stay in her lane and not act so tone deaf. Gave me major pause. She also put her ungloved hand in our baby’s mouth during one of our visits.

She treats my family as a friend rather than just a patient. Always takes the parents thoughts and worries into account. Would highly recommend her.
