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! After a less than stellar experience with another child having wisdom teeth removed, I was very pleased with how smoothly everything went with Dr. Murphy. He explained everything ahead of time very well, outstanding COVID protocol, and almost no bleeding after surgery. Four impacted teeth and my child never had to take an opiod as Dr. Murphy offered a different solution which worked beautifully. Follow up care was simple and clearly explained. We had everything we needed when we pulled out of the office with no questions. I highly recommend.

Dr. Murphy and his staff were very good to my daughter as she got all 4 wisdom teeth out. The doctor even called her that evening to see how she was feeling. That was a very impressive. I hope we dont need him but wold totally use him again is necessary.

I had to have one of my wisdom teeth pulled and I was concerned about the recovery. I didn't want the dreaded dry socket. They were great in helping to relax with the procedure and with the healing process. Best of all no dry socket! Great staff and great doctor. Highly recommend.

My son was scheduled for surgery for over a month. We showed up at our correct time & date only to be told he was never scheduled. We both took off of work, he fasted all night, I drugged him with the Valium they prescribed. No effort was made to accommodate us, even though they screwed up. I'm sure I would have been billed if it was my mistake, but what do you do when it's theirs? Office staff is incompetent. Don't go there.
