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.

Wish I’d have found another doctor.
First impression of Dr.Murphy wasn’t great, she seemed rushed and inattentive. Following visits consisted of me having to ask for tests and reminding her of points that needed to brought up. I also missed the cut off for the 12 weeks first trimester genetic testing because she spaced on it. Again with the second trimester one. I requested that they send all lab orders to a specific facility (as it was covered under our insurance) and was hit with a bill for $500 from a lab I didn’t use for a swab test I wasn’t aware they were taking. Any time I called there was always a wait. One time it was 27 minutes on hoId before I finally gave in and hung up. I would never come to this office again. I wish I would’ve known earlier that this office would just add so much stress to my pregnancy. If you have the choice of another doctor, do yourself a favor and go to them.

She's the Best Gynecologist
I really appreciated how she carefully considered all of my symptoms, imaging and lab tests and is quick to order more testing when needed. She wasn't at all dismissive of me and my symptoms. She took all the time she needed to carefully review my whole history to figure out what's going on with me.

Professional!
Dr Murphy never feels like she has to hurry with you. She reviews everything in your chart w you. Always ask if you have ?’s & if u understand what she is explaining. I feel confident w her knowledge & expertise.

I was greeted with a friendly staff I was taken to a room and examed by the medical asst she told we to wait to undress until they knew when the doctor was ready. I liked that idea Dr Murphy came in and went through all my meds and health questions and then examined me and was very explanatory with me the transcriber in the office was also very friendly I was very comfortable in all ways especially for being a new patient.

She was great
The visit was good and her staff were awesome! The only thing I didn’t like is my appointment was at 4:00 so I got there 15 minutes early as they suggest and I finally got out a little after 6:30. But they were all wonderful!

She made the female exam seem so easy and by far the least painful Pap smear I’ve ever had. Highly recommend this doctor! They listen and answer questions and do not push you to change your mind.
