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.

Dr. Murphy is an excellent listener.

Always takes her time during my visits to the point where I feel I’m the only patient that day. She listens attentively and provides detailed explanations to my questions. Takes an interest in my whole self (family, job) and not just health.

Dr Murphy is the BEST family Doctor!
I've been seeing Dr. Murphy for over 15 years, she is the total package! She is kind, caring, patient, listens well, and has always treated me like I'm the only patient in her day. I never feel rushed. I am very comfortable talking to Dr. Murphy about anything. I am confident that I'm getting the best medical care from her. I have recommended Dr. Murphy to several family members and friends, and they are all just as happy with her as I am.

Excellent Listener and determined to help
Dr. Murphy is caring and compassionate. She listens to concerns and is diligent about her patient’s care. She explains everything thoroughly and in an understandable way. I would definitely recommend her to anyone, especially patients like me who really don’t like to visit the doctor :) She’s respectful and very nonjudgmental.

I changed Doctors after having been with my previous Doctor for over 10+ years. I’m so thankful that I’ve found Dr. Murphy! She listens, answers questions, and shows compassion regarding whatever you’re dealing with at the time! She doesn’t make you feel rushed, as if she doesn’t have time for you! Highly recommend her!

Good medical services.
I knew Dr. Murphy when she was an associate in her initial practice. Since I was happy with her performance I followed her with her two moves and finally here at Central Ohio Primary Care Physicians. She is very attentive, compassionate and try to marshal her medical knowledge in the best alternative ways. That is why I kept her as my primary Care physician not only for me, but also for all of my household members for the last 20 years.
