I sent my daughter ( age 10 ) to Dr. Murphy. I was very concerned about her overbite and wanted to go to a orthodontic specialist that would correct it without changing her pretty profile. Dr.Murphy was recommended to me and I am so thankful for it. He did a wonderful job on her teeth! My daughter always had a nice experience at her appointments. And the staff were lovely! Highly recommend.

As an adult getting braces it was a hard decision to make, that is why I am glad I went to Dr. Murphy's office. He did a super job straightening my teeth which changed my smile & gave me more self confidence. He took interest in me personally & my experience was a good one. The staff there is easy to work with. I would recommend him to anyone interested in changing your smile at any age.

Do NOT go to this practice. They have horrible hours! This was NEVER communicated during the new patient evaluation and "sit down" with Dr. Murphy. They only work 2 days a week until 5 pm, forget it if your kid (I have 2, so $10K+++ in braces) breaks a bracket or needs some type of emergency treatment which happens often with active teens. And forget it if you, as the paying parent, work until 5 pm everyday, the Dr.

expects you to take time off work to bring your kids in to see him during HIS work hours and does not accommodate evening hours past 5:30. Save yourself the hassle and frustration I am stuck dealing with for 2+ years!! Go to a practice with doctors that care about their patients and understand working parents have work schedules, etc! I wish someone told me this before I signed my kids up for braces with Dr. Murphy! There's lots of other places around that charge the exact same price for braces but you get SO much more for your hard earned money!!!! In response to Dr. Murphy’s reply below, this was not a one time situation. I appreciate the staff trying to find a time but the problem is that the office hours are only 2 days a week during school hours! This has been a very frustrating situation from the start and as mentioned I really wish I knew this would be the case before we decided to use Dr.

Murphy, I would have gone to another practice with more hours that cater to their clients needs. I stand by my review and can assure anyone reading that they will have to deal with the same frustrations. Another parent was complaining on the way out of the office for the same reasons.
