Neurosurgery near Daytona Beach, FL

Biography: Dr. Murphy is an experienced senior neurosurgeon who is a fellow of the American Board of Neurological Surgery and of the American College of Surgeons. He has been in the practice of neurological surgery for over 35 years. He has performed thousands of surgeries on the central and peripheral nervous system. His colleagues describe him as a thoughtful neurosurgeon with technical and diagnostic expertise. He believes in a thoughtful, honest, and conservative approach to patient care and considers it his primary responsibility to try to determine the cause for patient's symptoms in order to direct appropriate treatment, and not just to answer the question of whether someone needs an operation. Prior to each new patient visit, he completes a careful review of appropriate radiographs and analysis of other pertinent data. This allows him, based on the history and tailored physical examination obtained at the time of the visit, to formulate a differential diagnosis, determine appropriate additional studies if necessary, and map out an algorithm for appropriate treatment.
