My consultation appointment with Dr. Barbara Murphy went extremely well. My husband and I were very pleased! Dr. Murphy took the time to listen to every thing I was trying to say. And she asked a lot of questions as well. She was trying to get a clear understanding of everything I was dealing with. And the most important thing to me was she understood everything I was saying! And I found out most everything I've been suffering with actually had a medical name!!!! And, as many doctors that I've seen and that have tried to help me over the years haven't been able to do that! And these doctors are very good doctors as well. But it just confirmed to my husband and I that we are finally in the right place! She not only hears me she understands!!! And, even though I've only had one appointment so far, I really feel that God has put me in the right hands. And, she is very nice and you can feel her kind spirit. So I'm looking forward to my next visit. And I feel now I'm not only being heard, but she's going to help me!!!

Dr Murphy has been instrumental in helping me with my cancer side effects and making sure there are no signs that the cancer returned. She really is amazing, not only as a doctor but as a person. She makes you feel comfortable and confident that she's trying to do all that can be done to help me.
