Patient Reviews
Aug 01, 2023
Gel from the back of my eye broke loose and I lost my sight due to a shredded retina and blood filling my eye. Dr. Murphy took me an an emergency patient. He was very positive and calmed me down (great bedside manner), set up a time to operate, did the operation and now my vision is 20/25 in the eye that had problems and may increase in clarity because my healing has about 9 months to go to be totally complete. Super smart guy who knows what he is doing.
