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.

Not any bad experiences. He always hears what I say and remembers every details. His ability to correlate information is incredible. Also his knowledge of his speciality is unprecedented. Utilizing older medications and new coming into the market medications for the best possible care.

I have been a patient of Dr. Murphy's for more than 30 years. Throughout this time he has provided excellent care, has kept me updated on new developments in the treatment of the complex headaches from which I suffer and has provided me with referrals to other excellent physicians in the Swedish system whenever needed. He is always available if I have questions about my treatment or medications and provides complete follow-up information quickly. I was very lucky to have been referred to Dr. Murphy by my primary care physician those many years ago.

Dr. Murphy is a great neurologist, and I understand that he is retiring. Sincere congrats to him. I keep having the issue of doctors leaving Swedish, so I hesitate to keep trying to find long term providers within the Swedish system.

Dr Murphy has been my neurologist for more than 30 years. He has shown me the most respect & compassion regarding my rare diseases & how to deal with them. He has made a real effort to get me the best treatment possible. He has literally help keep me alive when other doctors said they could not do anything for me. He always listens & do his very best to get the answers I need. I respect him very much & I will miss him. He is an excellent doctor and he will be missed. I can't say enough good things about him. I trust him explicitly. I hope I can another like him if that's possible. I wish him well in retirement. He deserves the best. I'm so thankful he was my doctor. Thank you doc for everything. I appreciate all the care you gave me.

J. Doe's description certainly was not my experience with Dr Murphy. He was the only neurologist who was able to diagnose my unusual condition. He was thorough and very kind, and took a great deal of time explaining things. He and his staff were very professional, and I have already recommended him to my friends/family. An excellent MD!
