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.

Dr Murken: wonderful foot doctor and surgeon
Dr. Murken, a wonderful orthopedic doctor and surgeon, treated my hammer toe and Morton's Neuroma and was wonderful! He is very kind, professional, super knowledgeable, and a wonderful, caring personality! The surgery and after care went very well as he described it to be. Thankyou Dr Murken and team for your wonderful care and support!

Excellent care
I’ve had severe midfoot pain from arthritis for years. Other podiatrists told me to take meds and basically live with it. The first time I saw Dr Murken he fully explained the problems he saw on my X-rays and said that fusion surgery was my only option because of the severity of bone deterioration. He said his goal was to rid me of my pain and give me the quality of life I deserved. No one else had ever cared that much or given me a real solution. Surgery went well, and at my first post surgery appointment he again fully explained the new X-rays, what he did, checked nerve function, and took time to answer my questions. I can’t wait to do my other foot!

I went to Dr Murken for bunion surgery. I had great care from the doctor and he took the time to explain the procedure. His office as well as surgery center communicated with me consistently from before and after my procedure. A very positive experience

Skilled Surgeon and Compassionate Doctor
In 2022 I sustained a a horrific slip and fall shattering my tib-fib and requiring 2 surgeries, 2 plates and 17 screws. Dr. Murken put me back together again after Dr. Wente did his initial surgery top-notched alignment with a fixator. Dr. Murken was skilled and strived to restore my leg to as normal as possible. He supported my efforts in rehab and PT, was patient with all my questions, gave direction to the best approach to healing properly, and offered realistic encouragement throughout two years of recovery.

Very kind and took time to listen
Dr was so kind to let my Daughter who I called to listen in, she just graduated from her surgical Residency so wanted to hear the results of X-ray and the possible treatment options. Explained everything in such a kind manner, really enjoyed my appointment.

Dr. Murken was very personable, took time to listen and then answered any questions I had. He or his office was in frequent communication with me both before and after the surgery. He provided written post op instructions. Best of all, my surgery was a success! I highly recommend Dr. Murken!

He’s caring and takes the time to listen
Came back to Dr. Murken for continued problems walking. He did a whole bunch of new X-rays, and gave me recommendations on further treatment and improvement measures. He’s been great to me doing surgery for my complex hip fractures after a traumatic fall. He’s followed up every issue and offers explanations that I can understand. I’d go back to him for other issues in a second (but hope I never have one again!).

Dr. Murken is amazing!
Dr. Murken’s personality is awesome! Very matter-of-fact, but energetic, and positive! He explains things thoroughly, and gives very understandable explanations of the medical aspects (that someone untrained otherwise might have a hard time understanding). He spent a long time in the room, to make sure we covered everything, and set realistic expectations. He left me trusting him implicitly.

A Positive Experience!
Dr. Murken came highly recommended to me by a friend who had seriously broken her foot in several places. I found it easy to get an appointment and schedule a surgery that has repaired the tendon in my ankle. The staff was friendly and efficient, which added to the overall satisfaction of the whole process. Dr. Murken is down-to-earth, friendly, extremely knowledgeable, experienced and highly skilled. I highly recommend him if you are in need of a foot and ankle orthopedist that you can depend on.

Dr. Murken is not only knowledgeable, professional, and thorough, he is kind and informative. He explained my injury, the best treatment, and what to expect during recovery. My experience with him was stellar. It was my first surgery and I was anxious, but Dr. Murken demeanor and approach made me feel comfortable and garnered my trust. He is the best of the best and I highly recommend!
