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.

Wonderful outcome for rotator cuff surgery
Dr. McMurtry was wonderful! He is kind, professional, thorough in his explanations and my surgery and healing have gone very well. I expect to have him do the surgery on my other shoulder should it become necessary.

Dr. McMurtry saw me as an add on to his busy schedule for an hand problem and treated me like I was his only patient. He did a complete exam and explained my problem in easily understood terms, and explained all options and answered my questions. He recommended two injections, which were nearly painless, and completely resolved my pain in 48 hours, as he predicted! It is unusual to find a physician who can relate to a patient in a friendly and caring manner, yet still maintain a professional demeanor. I highly recommend him . P

Consult following hand injury
Dr. McMurtry was well informed and is a great communicator. He asked a lot of questions and made certain I understood all aspects of care. He stressed the importance of working together as a team and understanding realistic goals and expectations. Even though, I was a last minute add on, I did not feel rushed and I had his undivided attention. Very knowledgeable and compassionate.

Deep Listener!
Dr. McMurtry and his team are remarkable. They are kind and listen to what's going on with you. Before making any recommendations, Dr. McMurtry drafts a plan addressing your pain, recovery, and strengthening. Stewart, my physical therapist, was a miracle worker. He ensured that I learned the exercises to address any future flare-ups continually. The entire team is caring, thoughtful, and motivated to help me get better. They were also available and responsive to all my questions. Lastly, I appreciated their time explaining what was going on with me physiologically. All providers should be this good!
