Patient Reviews
Apr 18, 2024
Dr. Murphy is by far one of the best surgeons I have ever had! I was born with a defect in my right hip, over the years I have asked for a Hip Replacement because of the pain I was in. Dr. Murphy saw me the next day after being referred to him came in said yes you need to start living your life. Everything was explained in detail to me prior so I knew what to expect. I thought I would have this ugly scar after surgery but it's not, I can barely see it! Dr. Murphy came in after surgery and told me how everything went, his bedside manner is top notch! I love the Force Therapeutics App that he uses. The PT prescribed through Force Therapeutics gets you up and moving quickly so you recover quickly an regain full movement etc. I cannot thank Dr. Murphy enough for giving me a new life.
