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.

One of the best doctors I've ever met!
Dr. Murphy is an excellent doctor, surgeon, compassionate and most excellent person. I'm a hard case regarding my injury however Dr. Murphy is the detective hand surgeon. He's tireless in his quest to find the medical issue. Not only does he help so many people here in Maryland, he also helps people around the world! I for one am extremely grateful to have Dr. Murphy as my doctor. May the Good Lord keep you, Ms. Lisa and all the good folks at Chesapeake well always!

I have already recommended this wonderful doctor.
From the moment I enter the office, I am greeted with a smile and a friendly hello. Sign in is quick and easy and the wait time is minimal. My visit with Dr. Murphy, albeit friendly, is very professional and I feel quite comfortable asking questions and addressing surgical concerns which are then fully answered with patience and precision. He takes the time to make sure I totally understand my situation and what to expect before, during and after surgery. I have already confidently recommended Dr. Murphy to my friends.

Dr. Murphy is an amazing Doctor/Surgeon
I have had several appointments with Dr. Murphy and have never felt rushed. He gave me all the time I needed to ask questions and voice my healing concerns. He is a skilled Surgeon and helped me through some difficult hand issues. He is a perfect choice for me and I highly recommend him.
