Richard W. Murphy's Online Review Report Card

Feels like family every visit!

Awesome and great caring guy that Dr.Murphy is!!! I should have seen him 10 years ago for my first back surgery. Dr Murphy preformed my 4th back surgery in 2023 .and I hope it was my last back surgery.

After waiting an hour to be seen by Dr. Murphy, the office manager came into the exam room and asked me to leave, stating that I wasn’t being compliant because I wanted to know the cost of x-rays before they were performed, as I had not yet met my $2,000 deductible and wanted to be sure I could afford the visit before incurring the costs. The officer manager told me that I had set their entire day behind because of my non-compliance and refusal to let them perform x-rays. I informed her that all I wanted to know was the cost of the services to be sure I could afford them and I let her know that it is, in no way, my fault that her staff took 20 minutes to bring this to her attention. She had no response. I was escorted from the exam room by the office manager and a staff member. I asked that my copay be refunded, and it was, then I left. I have NEVER in my life been treated so poorly in a medical setting. I will be filing a complaint with the medical board. A patient is lawfully entitled to know the cost of services prior to receiving them.

Dr Murphy is great! He is really funny too. Wonderful bedside manner!!! I can’t recommend him enough!

Dr. Murphy operated on my father for a fractured disk. Several days later my father was transferred to a dementia care facility in another city. Dr. Murphy refused to send an order to have his stitches removed and his back x-rayed at the facility. He insisted he be transported back to Thomasville to have it done in his office which would have cost $485 to our family. Will now have to find another doctor to have stitches removed and back x-rayed. Very unprofessional behavior.

You Only received 1 Star So I Could leave a Comment about One of the Most UN Professional Doctor's I Ever Met Never in 3/half Months Did this Man address me by my Name, His Care was by a Scale if it said 3 months you are supposed to be healed you did rehab out of here no matter what you told him,No Pain reliever Prescriptions for exstent of injury within Reason Tipical Doctor, Wants to look Great to Insurance Companies For the Use of His Services, He will Run you through his Office as if he is Slaughtering Hogs to Build a Reputation with Worker Comp Company's, You are at Risk of Possibility being Worse off in the Long Run than Better,Take Your Chances Russian Roulette has a Better Percentage and His Immature Bedside Manner is Aweful.

When I went in to Dr. Murphy's office in 2014, I couldn't walk without my walker, my left foot was numb and I could not lift it and I was in terrible lower back and leg pain. Six months earlier I was a hunter, a fisherman and an all around outdoor person until crippling stenosis took over my lower back. Dr Murphy gave me 3 options, therapy and/or pain management or surgery. I don't know what it is about Dr. Murphy but when he talks to you it is like you have been best friends your whole life. He talks to you, not at you. He has a sense of humor but is very serious and has "expert knowledge" about your condition and how to treat it. I choose surgery. When he went over the procedure he was confident and told me everything in easy to understand terms. When I came in for a office visit with my "Go Gators" shirt on that really lightened up our visit. I was apprehensive about back surgery but everything he told me was exactly how my surgery and recovery turned out. I woke up out of surgery literally "pain free". My left foot has the feeling back and is totally mobile again. I was walking within a week. As recommended after a year of letting my back heal I am hunting and fishing again and I am back to all of my outdoor activities. Unfortunately I am again able to do yard work. I recommend Dr Murphy very highly. He is the best at what he does. Thank you Dr Murphy!! (Go Dogs) Don Kelley (Go Gators)

Dr Murphy was a God send to my life. I had suffered 5 yrs with heaaches,then right arm went num. Dr Murphy did my cervical fusion & I had my life back! I hugged his neck! So grateful for God & Dr Murphy's expertise. Fantastic bedside manner, excellent people skills. Wanda Raker

Dr Murphy is Wonderful

He gets a ZERO! Rude and nasty attitude, walked out on my visit because he said he didn’t have 2 to 3 hours to answer my questions, I only had 4 about my surgery and was only there about 15 minutes! I left there in tears, I’m 67 and I had a right to ask questions about my surgery. This man does not need to be a doctor, he needs to go to one and get an attitude check up! Shameful, what a jerk!
