Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

There is no supporting "team" in Dr Murphy's office. I went in with a simple problem, and two weeks later I have a UTI that is not responding to antibiotics. All could have been prevented if nurses had simply made given instructions. After repeated calls, the ball was dropped every time. They, however insist the patient is their priority. I call bulls#$t. VA Urology seems to be the only choice for urology practice, and on previous occasions, they have served me well. Not going back to dr murphy.

I have been seeing Dr. Murphy over the last few years for Bladder Cancer & Prostate issues. I am happy with the treatment (not really, I don't enjoy it and would have preferred to miss it entirely), It seems to me, Dr. Murphy has always been straight forward with me answers our questions and does his best to make us comfortable. Also, the nursing and technical staff has been very good trying to keep me comfortable.

I first saw Dr. Murphy after a serious kidney stone issue which required hospitalization and follow up treatments. He was thorough and took the time to answer all of my questions in a reassuring manner. I appreciate his candor and caring demeanor and feel fortunate to have him as my physician.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. David Murphy. I have been his patient for 10 years. He has always shown concern for my health. The staff at Virginia Urology always speak highly of Dr. Murphy.

Dr. Murphy is a wonderful doctor! I have been with him for over 17 years and he has always taken his time with me to explain whatever the situation is. I could not ask for a better doctor to put my healthcare trust in.

Dr. David Murphy has been my Urologist for over 13 years. I suffer from kidney stones and have had multiple procedures and a surgery to remove kidney stones. Dr Murphy always takes time to talk about my issues and my options to be pain free. He speaks to me as a doctor should address a patient. He is all business and that is what I expect from a doctor who is taking care of me. He is a great doctor.

I have had Dr. Murphy for over 9 years now. He has always been very compassionate and understanding. I cannot speak for these other reviews but he has never been anything but kind and considerate to my problems with Institial Cystitis and bladder issues.. I will continue to see him as my Urologist for my bladder issues..

This guy should work in a laboratory away from people. No compassion doesn't introduce himself ask question or answer any. He thinks he is a GOD and his patient isn't worthy... probably a smart guy but he has no personality or investigative skills. I am sad too because all the other doctors are great friendly and listen. Oh well on to the next urology center.

Bed Side Manner of a Stump in Richmond, VA – May 25, 2017
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Murphy?
Doctor Murphy is more concerned about his reputation than his patients. Chronic pain and kidney disease with consistent stones forming daily. Doctor Murphy will only treat my wife and has never given us any advice on how to prevent them. He is more concerned about his reputation on prescribING pain meds than listening to his patients needs.
