I had surgery on both of my ankles back in 2013 (8 years ago). He did such a great job getting me back on my feet that I was able to complete 7 half-marathons afterward. To this day I am a regular CrossFitter and am able to do everything pain-free. Dr. Murphy and his staff are top-notch, very knowledgeable, spent time to explain things to me in an appropriate level of detail, and very friendly.

Being in the San Diego health care field for the past 35 years, a select few names are most often mentioned when I talk to patients and other practitioners regarding "who is the best surgeon" for this or that anatomical pain/dysfunction/tear/break, etc.
For people in the know, Dr. Paul Murphy is frequently mentioned as "the best," always mentioned as "one of the best."
It's certainly a high testament to be a surgeon (as "Murph" is) that top professional athletes go to when their bodies need repair...but it is a higher validation to be the doc that other docs consult when they need help. Dr. Murphy

After going to Dr. Murphy's office for almost a year it's time to make a change. While I don't have an issue with Dr. Murphy himself or a few of the PA's, other members of his staff are terrible. From my initial phone call to setup an appointment with the scheduler/Medical asst, I should have realized that maybe I should go elsewhere. Some of his staff members that I’ve dealt with have been either rude and/or cold and make you feel like you are a burden to them being a patient. I tried giving them the benefit of the doubt on more than one occasion but enough is enough. This office only thinks

I have been a patient here for years and I wouldn’t trust my care to anyone else. Dr. Murphy is honest and sensitive with his patients. He is not a surgery happy surgeon and will do anything to avoid surgery, he does this because he cares not because he wants to perform surgeries. His prices are reasonable too.

Orthopedist Dr Paul Murphy left two kinds of medical waste in me and failed to complete the surgery I went in for.
My shoulder was chronically swollen and in much pain after the surgery. The issue so bad he sent to pain Mgn. There I was subjected to endless injections and medications. When I was at my end the insurance comp sent me back to Murphy? He ordered an MRI and reported I didn't need further surgery?
My family stepped in and paid for an eval at an other center. They were not shocked when Murphys name was mentioned and my MRI was passed to several departments each came in to see the mess

Dr. Murphy and his staff are fantastic. So happy to have found them, sad we need them but very grateful to have them when needed. Dr. Murphy has performed an ACL surgery on my son with outstanding results (and continued advice and care) and now is working with my daughter on an ankle injury. Competent, compassionate and outstanding communicator. Thankful for this practice.
