Brian Murphy's Online Review Report Card

I would never recommend this doctor. He is very incompetent. I now have one leg shorter than the other because of his stupidity!

My experience with this doctor has been very stressful. I had an oblique fracture on the shaft of the fourth metacarpal. Surgery was my only option if I wanted to keep from losing range of motion. Brian Murphy on my initial appointment was very brief and doesn’t explain the process very well. He forgot to prescribe me my pain medications and I had to call his office back and get it situated. His PA that works alongside of him prescribed them for me. I figured let’s just go through surgery and get the process moving along quicker because I didn’t want to waste time. Post surgery my hand was in a lot of pain and I was told to call the office if I had any discomfort... I called the office and got a message back saying that I need to wait until my post op appointment which was after Christmas. They said the doc told me to take Aleve and just ice my hand. So I did and I waited until my post op appointment. Post op which was a week after surgery he takes my temporary wrap off and says that he wants to put an unstable brace on my hand. I expressed that it had only been a week and it doesn’t feel stable it’s still in a lot of pain and it was still swollen. I asked, What if I hit my hand? His exact words were “ I think that’s all just mental” he said that it wouldn’t happen. And that I need to start moving my hand right away. But yet he contradicts himself by saying it takes bones 6 weeks to heal. So you’re telling me that it’s not necessary to stabilize your hand until it heals? He told me that he wanted me to do my own physical therapy on my hand? Doesn’t tell me how or what to do. And tells me that we’ll see later down the line if you need physical therapy? Are you kidding me? I had to aggressively ask for physical therapy before he even agreed to give it to me. Then when the nurse came in to put the splint on my hand I expressed that my hand just doesn’t feel stable and that it had only been one week she was concerned and asked the doctor what to do. At this point dr Murphy was irritable and abruptly came in to the office sat down and explained was he had already previously explained. I told him again that my fingers are completely exposed and that a hand brace is not going to give it stability. So he took to adhesive bands and tied my fingers together and said well that should help and handed me the brace and told me to put it on myself. I asked if the nurse was going to put it on and he said it’s pretty easy and I can do it myself. Wow I have never dealt with such an inconsiderate doctor. At that point I was just livid but didn’t make a scene. I have contacted the supervisor and will be reporting the incident.

Waited 45 minutes then his nurse was rude and never apologized. They don't care about your time at all!

I’m a caregiver, and I wasn’t empressed! We were in his room a short time and it didn’t seem like he cared about what was going on. We never got a follow-up call or help when she needed relief because she’s having pain. Hopefully things will change, the next time we are in there.

Dr. Brian Murphy is one of the WORST doctors in the area! I have a leg 1 1/4 inch shorter than the other because he said my bones were so small he didn't have a dow rod to fit. That is totally BS!!!! What about small children with small bones!! When I went back to him he chucked and said........I can do the other hip and even you out. He's all about money.......I would advise anyone to stay away from him.

Dr. Murphy was my surgeon after I fell and broke several bones in my ankle. He was caring and thorough, and has a wonderful office staff. An excellent surgeon!

Doctor Murphy was very informative about the procedure I was going to have. His bed side manor is of old school. His staff is very efficient at explaining information about preparing for my surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. Murphy to any one at any time.

Dr. Murphy is awesome and super nice! I had a broken leg and had to have a rod and 3 screws placed. It happened on a Saturday night, and he came in Sunday morning and did my surgery. I lucked into having him as my surgeon because he happened to be the doctor on call for Monroe hospital that day. It's been over a year now and I haven't had any problems with it so far!

Dr. Murphy did both of my knee replacements. He is the best!!

3 years ago Dr Murphy did complete knee replacement on both of my knees at the same time. He did a marvelous job. Everyone was amazed at the small thin scars and how fast I healed and could walk and bend my legs. Thank you Dr Murphy!!
