What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
The care I received is life change in the best way. Dr Murphy explained what to expect with my surgery and recovery and were up front with what I needed to do to make the knee replacement a success. The cherry on top is barely having a scar. That’s excellence! I’m just sad he’s retiring and won’t be doing my other knee. But I wish him a long and healthy retirement.
