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.

Excellent Knee Results
I have had both knees replaced with Dr Murphy with excellent results. Consults with Dr Murphy are to the point. I highly recommend him and his PA Kelly as they are experienced, confident and highly skilled. Knee replacement is not a simple surgery and recovery afterwards is dependent on the patient's motivation as well as the help of the medical team.

He made it seem as though our appointment was a disturbance to his day. He was very short and almost seemed as though he had no time for us. He also made my son feel as though he can in for a stupid reason and wasn’t sure why my son came in for it. (I made him come in to make sure something serious wasn’t wrong)

Never showed up
This was a new doctor for me, my previous doctor (whom I loved, along with her PA) left St. Cloud Orthopedics. Waited 30+ minutes past my appointment time in the waiting room to be called back. The nurse doing my intake didn't know anything about my case, even though I've been a patient with St. Cloud Orthopedics the past three years, undergoing extensive diagnostic assessments leading to major surgery a year ago. I was surprised when I was asked why I was there - when the appointment was set at the recommendation of St. Cloud Orthopedics - and frustrated that I had to retell my entire medical history dating back years to the same office that was vital to that story. I then waited 30+ minutes again after the nurse left and left the office without seeing the doctor when it clearly was a waste of my time. I suspect the doctor wasn't even in the office. Very disappointed in the direction St. Cloud Orthopedics is going, I thought my doctor/surgeon and the PT team in the past was fantastic.
