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 was truly concerned about the issues of my visit. She's through, listening and responding to issues. I am truly pleased that I am an established patient with her practice, at this point in life, as a baby boomer. Would highly recommend her.

Highly Recommend
Dr Murphy is very patient and takes time explaining issues. Shares and discusses films from x-rays, CT scans, etc. never makes you feel she needs to move on to next person. Very skilled.

Dr. Murphy is extraordinary!
Dr. Murphy is kind and caring, and takes the time to not only have a conversation, but to also listen and answer questions and concerns. She has performed two separate surgeries on me, and for two different reasons. The second surgery, most recently, was a little more risky than the first, but I had faith in Dr. Murphy that the second surgery would be as successful as the first, and it was. She is truly gifted, and I am so very grateful for her care and compassion, and for taking away the pain I was suffering. If I need spinal care again, and I hope I don't, I will not hesitate to contact Dr. Murphy.

Caring and thorough
I am used to being treated like an assembly line cog at appointments and was so impressed by Dr Murphy. She sat down with me and went over my MRI with me giving me insight. Never did I feel rushed and her compassion showed through. I felt like she cared about me as a person who she wanted to help.

2024 Office Visit
Today, was my first visit in the new location. The staff was much friendlier than past visits. The ambiance at this location is five star. The new online charting is a challenge. I wish they would give patients a handout with instructions. New patients might want to ask how to setup your account before you leave, I actually forgot this time around. My only wish would have been knowing I was seeing the Physician Assistant instead of the Dr. I scheduled with. Overall, I felt like my needs were met. It’s important for the provider to know in advance the patient history. They are accepting new patients which is a plus. I can see a bright future ahead for this practice. Kudos to the Front desk staff.

Dr Murphy did not show up to my first appointment after a serious head injury. She was recommended to me after a three day stay at Henrico Doctors. I was attended by a nurse practitioner. Though she was kind, I wanted the analysis and advise of a physician. Most disappointing.

There are no words adequate to describe the excellence of Dr. Murphy. She doesn't treat the problem - she treats the whole person. It gives me a warm fuzzies feeling when I have an appointment with her. Her assistant Ken is also a great asset to her practice - always returning calls promptly, etc. Her expertise is widely recognized in the Richmond area, and she comes highly recommended by OR Nursing staffs. Being treated at this practice blesses my life in every way.

Her confident, professional manner put me at ease
I was apprehensive about my appointment with Dr. Murphy. My mind had raced through all the worst-case scenarios. I knew the minute she entered the exam-room; I had nothing to fear. She had reviewed my case thoroughly and had specific questions and recommendations. She explained my condition to me and the options we could take one step at time. When I left, I felt informed, well cared for, and I understood the course of treatment we decided on. I couldn't wait to get home and tell my wife what I had learned, what lay ahead, and how good I felt about my appointment.

Extraordinary!
After three surgeries with Dr. Murphy, I feel more than qualified to attest to her capabilities as a top-notch neurosurgeon . This, coupled with her caring and compassionate manner, made some of life’s more challenging times easier to deal with and recover from.
