Dr. Laurence J Murphy

Dr. Murphy was my pediatrician growing up, He is an amazing doctor and left a huge impact on my life. If you are looking for an amazing kind doctor for your kids that you can trust it is without a doubt him.

Dr. Murphy is a wonderful doctor! He is very caring, attentive and knowledgeable. He is not the one who will prescribe your child some meds just to get rid of you when he/she doesn’t need it. He actually care for your child’s health, that’s rare nowadays! Very good easy to schedule wellness visits and the same/next day sick visits. Highly recommend. Dr. Murphy is a wonderful doctor!

Dr. Murphy is the best! He takes a hands on approach to treating and diagnosing my toddler and teen. I can't recommend him enough!

We've been coming to Dr Murphy for years. He cares about our kids and it shows. Unlike other Doctor offices he will always find a way to fit you in and we as parents truly appreciate that.

Stay away from this doctor as an allergist. After much research and getting not only a second, but third opinion, it is very clear he does not keep up to date on his literature.

I wish I could give 10 Stars! As a young mother I will never forget the care we received from Dr. Murphy. My daughter is grown up now and is a Nurse. When she was a teen, Dr. Murphy helped us navigate through some very difficult issues. Thank you!!!

Our children are now grown but Dr. Murphy and Dr. Staats were their pediatricians until they got to college. Wonderful and very busy practice. Both doctors take time with their patients and parents ensuring that everything is understood. Staff is warm, efficient and knowledgeable. The nurses are amazing too! We were listened to, counseled well and treated with affection and respect. All around great care!

We absolutely love Dr. Murphy, but he needs to get better staff. Very frustrated right now!

Dr. Murphy, and the whole office in general, is amazing. Very knowledgeable and great care. He identified a problem with my infant very quickly and personally called the hospital to set him up with the right surgeon the same day we took him in. Highly recommended!

I have gone to Dr. Murphy for 36 Years with my children. Yes, he is old school in some respects but he is thorough and knows your child. My son was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy by Children’s Hospital and a plan was put into place. It was Dr Murphy that took a class and studied up immediately on the protocol recommended to see if it was a fit. Not many would do that! You can see him studying at ffx inova many times! Very knowledgeable! Sometimes a wait but worth it. Highly recommend him.

We love Dr. MURPHY! He truly loves what he does and always there to help us with our sick boy.

Needs to retire. Love other docs there, but Dr. Murphy is old-school and holding the whole office back from progressing with new technology and ideas. Very dated decor and toys in waiting room, not up to today's standards. Staff is not permitted to accept or send faxes or emails (PDF)'s, only send / receive documents in person!?! If he's on call on weekends he could be as much as an hour late!!! Claims to be "allergist" - do NOT go to him for allergies, we know first hand not qualified

If I could give zero stars I would. Called their billing office to inquire about a bill. The girl just literally told me "don't come here again, or your child to this office, we don't want to see you, such troublesome patients". She didn't stop there, she hung up the phone on me saying "I am not going to listen to a lecture, I am done", when I told her (shocked) "I have never heard such a comment from a front office employee before". Humiliating. Will file an official complaint. Unacceptable.

Dr. Murphy has gone way beyond what we have needed as a pediatrician for our son. Yes...sometimes you have to wait a little longer than what is ideal, but when you get to see him, he really gets to know your child. He is very thorough and explains things in a way you can understand them. He is NEVER condescending and to me that is extremely important in a doctor. Most importantly, he genuinely loves children and knows how to handle them respectfully, carefully and gently.

Quite possibly the worst doctor I have ever experienced in my life. You will have no less then a 1.5 hr wait before he sees you, he triple books times and honestly half the time I don't think he has no clue of what he is doing.

I brought 4 different developmental issues with my son to Dr Murphy and he sloughed off each one telling me it was normal. For example, he told me toe walking was just my son's way of "getting from point A to point B faster". Coupled with the other issues I raised (speech delay, feeding regression, etc) he should have known it was a neurological red flag. Now I have a much bigger mountain to climb. His arrogance in dismissing a mother's concern is a liability to all of his patients.

His waiting time is crazy. If you can get out of there in 3 hours, you are very lucky. We have been with him for a few years. It's time for us to change him since we don't have that amount of time to waste in the waiting room

Dr Murphy is one of the best and caring children doctor in northern Virginia. He is very knowledgeable. We are very lucky that my friend recommended him to us. He is highly recommended. Did I say that the office is open 7 days a week.
