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.

He is the best! He is clinically And surgically highly skilled. He is very caring in his manner and has a way of alleviating patient anxiety. At the same time there is a quiet confidence about him that reassures patients that they are in the best of hands. His communication skills and availability are superb.

I have had vertigo & fluid retention in both ears for many months, went to several Dr’s & couldnt get any diagnosis except that I had vertigo. Dr. Murphy did several tests on me & found out I had Ménière’s disease. He spent a lot of time with me, did several tests & I was glad to get some kind of diagnosis. I high.y recommend him! His staff was awesome!

It has been many years since Dr Murphy treated me and I should have left this before. I believe I was very fortunate to have been referred to him by an ex-patient. I had both bacterial and fungal infections for 6-7 months, after no cure from antibiotics Dr Murphy performed surgery removing the infection from the mastoid bone and created a new eardrum. I would guess 85% hearing restored in that ear and after many years the same with 0 complications. I think of him to be "Dr House" for ears.

Dr Terrence Murphy has been extremely helpful for our son with chronic infections/damaged ear drum. We now go directly to him with any ear issues instead of our ENT. I wish we had known about him earlier.
