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.

A life saver. The best in Arizona, possibly the US
Dr Murphy gave me my life back. I was 2 years in excruciating pain due to a nerve tumor at L5-S1. He was the only doctor who found it after MULTIPLE doctors trying to convince me of it being scar tissue and wanting to go in and put a “patch” on it. He was the only surgeon not money hungry who took the time to send me for another MRI and wait to see if it grew or not and then take action. He brought up the idea of a nerve tumor and was not overly confident and egotistic of his ability to successfully resect it and me walk away perfectly like other “surgeons” did. He successfully completed the surgery and went the extra mile to make me feel comfortable while in recovery and visited me MULTIPLE times and took every precautionary step necessary to make sure I recovered to the best of my ability. Honestly the most phenomenal person, surgeon & staff I’ve ever encountered.

Dr. Murphy and his staff are incredible!
I am so grateful to Dr. Murphy and his team. I highly recommend him and I am so thankful to him! Every part of my experience with he and the team were beyond expectations. I had a microdiscectomy performed and he explained in detail what to expect. From the 1st visit, to the surgery to the post-op visits, he showed empathy and kindness. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional. You will literally be in the best hands!

Very happy with my choice!
After multiple consultations with other highly recommended and respected surgeons in Phoenix, I am very happy with my decision to go with Dr. Murphy. He was not only accommodating to my specific needs, but also went above and beyond to make sure all of my questions and concerns were addressed not only with his opinion, but with data to support. I’m very happy with the results he delivered, and look forward to living comfortably again. I also want to recognize how great his staff has been throughout the process. There were many hurdles to jump in a short time frame. They not only delivered, but were professional and available when needed.If you’re exploring options or opinions from a top surgeon, Dr. Murphy should be at the top of that list.Hope this review helps you as much as their care helped me.

Having back issues and possible surgery is never a fun thought. I was extremely nervous going into my initial consultation, but everyone in the office was great. Surgery has been a success and I can’t thank Dr. Murphy and his staff enough!

Forever grateful
Dr. Murphy is a meticulous surgeon and is invested in his patient’s success. After 4 ER visits at different hospitals, I was fortunate that Dr. Murphy took my complicated case. After speaking with Dr. Murphy about the surgery needed, I was confident I had the best surgeon and was at peace. I can’t thank Dr. Murphy and his team enough for giving me hope and an opportunity for full recovery. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a neurosurgeon.

Dr. Murphy did a great surgery in fusing my cervical spine (C3, C4, C5). As a result, I am pain free. I would definitely recommend him as believe him to be the best surgeon in all of Arizona.

An amazing man &team
This doctor and his team are truly amazing! I have a very complex injury to my C6 nerve at spinal cord, I first met Dr Murphy in the ICU and then 6 months later to discuss surgery. I couldn’t believe how much Dr Murphy cared about his patients and he took the time to explain how serious the injury was but also comforted me in his confidence in both surgeries. He took the time to explain everything and didn’t make me feel like a number! His staff is just as remarkable in all aspects especially communication! A very amazing Man that truly cares about his patients and his team!! Thank you Dr Murphy.

Dr Murphy is an excellent surgeon. He answered all my questions and explained things well. The office is run efficiently and I was kept in the loop regarding all appointments and other issues. I highly recommend him if you need any neck surgery. He works out of a BNI satellite office which was very convenient for me.
