Stephen B Murphy

I have a leg-length difference of 1/2." That may sound minimal to those who haven't experienced it, but I now require lifts in my shoes and have developed painful trochanteric bursitis from altered anatomy and gait. At first Murphy said the length difference would go away; then he said the legs were the same length; then he said one leg was longer, but not by an amount I could notice. He finally met me halfway, so to speak, and acknowledged a 1/4" difference, but excused it as necessary to prevent dislocation. I have consulted other surgeons about a revision due to my deep disappointment; they are certain that I would not have had this unsatisfactory result with them. I am not eager to have another (more complicated) surgery, but meanwhile, I have to live with a lurching gait or odd shoes that don't feel right, and pain. Have needed two cortisone injections in the hip bursa. With every step I take, I am bitter. I have no answer to why his much-vaunted accuracy vanished in my case.

Extremely disrespectful and unprofessional medical office staff. They almost never answer the phone and when they call you back, if they do, they are very rude. I have NEVER seen such a rude medical staff ever. I went to ER and I was told that I needed a stress test done. When I called the office, they refused to make any appointment and told me that my insurance wanted to do the paper form and my insurance was so bad that they wouldn't do electronic referral. I called my insurance and found out that what I was told was bunch of nonsense, and they absolutely would do electronic referral. Who does paper referral these days?? ... I got a phone call from them the next day to set up a stress test (they knew they were wrong) And then I received a very disrespectful letter by the Dr. Murphy himself. They are ALL clowns, unprofessional disrespectful

Waited over an hour to see him..Pulled up someone else's chart...Rambling and unfocus..Thought he was on some strong medication. Nurse at desk agreed with me..Made no diagnosis on hip surgery..Said he would review my file and get back to me...Never heard from him again..

I would recommend as a second opinion. He is a talented surgeon but distant and uncaring. After numerous Ortho procedures with Dr. Murphy, he decided that he no longer accepted my commercial insurance d/t low reimbursement. He told me to look elsewhere for my total knee replacement. Not a good human.

Dr Murphy is incredible. I had both hips replaced and my recovery both times was a piece-of-cake. I am so grateful to be out of pain and able to live life fully again, and I can't believe how quickly I recovered. I did opt for the minimally-invasive procedure, and it was totally worth it. I highly recommend him for your hip replacement, and I would go to him if I ever need my knee replaced. Dr Murphy is incredible.

Dr. Murphy replaced my left hip 2 years ago and it's now my best body part. Time for the right hip.

Post-op never saw him in the hospital (3 nights). Post-op pain continued (still does 4 years later)...his attitude ..Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

So much easier than I had expected. Great Dr. would recommend him to anyone.

Excellent orthopedic surgeon ! He really knows his stuff! Would recommend him hands down !

I had RHR surgery 1 1/2 years ago and Dr Murphy’s hip and I are doing over the top well. I remain deeply grateful for the surgery and total experience.

Jan 2019 hadTHR surgery byDr Murphy at NEB. I have had root canals that were more difficult and painful. Surgery was 730 am Tuesday Back in room by 1000 am and released next day at noon. Minimum pain. Recovery uneventful. Walking naturally and pain free 10 days. NEB top ortho hospital A+. You will be fortunate if Dr Murphy is your surgeon His office staff is A++,and pre surgery workup easy and efficient. Best of all no pain and I walk naturally .no stiff leg or side to side listing. People could not" believe "I had hip surgery less than a month after. Facing hip surgery,I would do everything possible to have Dr Murphy as my surgeon. He is the best "wrote the book"on minimally invasive hip surgery followed by a few thousand successes!

Dr.Murphy is amazing. I am so glad my gut said no to the first surgeon I met and I ended up at Dr. Murphy’s office for my hip replacement. The surgery was a breeze and the recovery better than I imagined. The best thing I ever did and I am able to live my life fully with no restrictions thanks to Dr. Murphy.

Dr. Murphy changed my life for the better. After years of suffering with swollen knees and with every step I took being painful I am now pain free after having both knees replaced by Dr. Murphy. Recovery was much easier than I had expected. Dr. Murphy's approach to therapy was spot on. The care I received at New England Baptist Hospital was exceptional. If you are looking for help with your knees or hip look no further. Dr. Murphy changed my life for the better.

I researched hip replacement surgery and several recommendations from patients later I went to Dr. Murphy. I am nearly a year post op after a thoroughly successful hip replacement and completely appreciated experience with Dr. Murphy and staff. My family and I feel that this man is God’s blessing.

He did my THR 5 years ago, age fit 50. I paid $2000 extra for computer guided surgery to make it perfect. Leg came out 3/8 inch longer but he won't admit it or say why. I've had years of pain with IT band as a result and premature wear of other hip. Another doctor did my second hip and said first one was done badly.

I am 75 yr old woman. I was in car accident many years ago which caused lot of damage to my Rt knee. Dr. Stephen Murphy did a total knee reconstruction of my Rt knee a year ago and replaced my Lt knee 2 months ago. Thanks to Dr. Murphy now I am walking without pain and sleeping well.

Dr Murphy replaced my right hip in 2010. He’s replacing my left hip in April of 2018. I’m returning to him because my surgery by him was so successful. His patented minimally invasive approach meant a quick and uneventful recovery. My physical therapists marveled at how fast I recovered. The entire team at New England Baptist is also top notch. I’ve recommended Dr Murphy to quite a few people facing replacement surgery. He is the best in New England.

To make it brief. I've had 2 hip replacements. One 8 years ago by another surgeon. This hip that Dr. Murphy replaced at an extra cost, has given me more problems than the previous hip replacement. I continue to have pain in hip, thigh, buttock and knee. Dr. Murphy seems to care little about the problems and pain I am experiencing post-surgery.

Hip replacement went flawless get doctor .no more pain

Dr Murphy changed my life. I can't imagine trusting my hip replacements with anyone else.

Rating him for my friend who had both knees replaced by Dr Murphy. I'm looking forward to having my knees replaced too! My friend couldn't be more pleased.

I had TKR by Dr. Murphy at 78 yrs and was walking without cane by 6 week checkup. No need for anymore PT. Walking 2 miles, no problem at 4 months. Couldn't be happier.

Dr Murphy has been my orthopedic surgeon for both hip replacements. I have soo much confidence in his ability and greatfull he has allowed me to live an active lifestyle

Dr Murphy is an amazing surgeon. He replaced my hip with his minamally invasive surgery using instruments he has designed and has at least 20 patents on them. I swear God flows into his hands during surgery. My first hip replacement elsewhere was a nightmare. Dr Murphys was a miracle. That same night for dinner I enjoyed a delicious bowl of pasta never had a pain and went home the next day was able to take care of myself and my dog. To say this was incredible is putting it mildly.

I have had both my hips replaced by Dr. Murphy. My husband had a very, very difficult hip replacement. When he needed the other done he was fortunate enough to hear of Dr. Murphy and his least invasive hip replacement surgery. His second surgery with Dr. Murphy was so well done and his recovery time was a fraction of traditional replacement . When I needed my hips done...of course I went to Dr. Murphy. You don't have to look any further than Dr. Murphy....the absolute best!

Brilliant surgeon. Likely no Dr better in US for hip surgeries. If you are considering hip or knee surgery...the go to "guy" is Dr Murphy. He is simply the best.

Dr. Murphy is a genious and a fabulous surgeon. The replacement feels like a regular leg, without pain and I have no restrictions physically. Additionally, the post op pain was very minimal and was controlled with Celebrex and Tylenol. He is the only surgeon that I would recommend for hip replacement. The gratitude and praise that I have for Dr. Murphy is beyond measure. Dr. Murphy is a genious and a fabulous surgeon.

Dr. Murphy is honestly the best! I saw other surgeons before I went to him. I was in so much pain and needed my hip replaced. I was 43 and everyone else wanted me to wait until I was 50. I could not imagine living 7 more years in this pain and missing out on so much of my kids lives. I had the surgery on a Tuesday and went home Wednesday. I was back at work 10 days later. I did have a few months of physical therapy but all the pain was gone! I know of other people that have replacements and have a lot of issues. It's been 3 years and I have no complaints!

Dr. Murphy replaced my left hip on April 3,2015 and my right hip on December 4, 2015. I had been in constant pain for over 16 years due to deterioration in both hip sockets. Everyone at New England Baptist Hospital was wonderful !! Recovery went very well. It is amazing to actually walk now with minimal to no pain. I would recommend and have recommended Dr. Murphy for hip replacement(s). Dr. Murphy, and his staff, are at the top of the food chain in orthopedic surgeons !!!!

Long wait times for office visits and scheduling. He's a very capable surgeon but is aloof and not easy to talk to. I had 2 total knee replacements with an excellent result on both knees. If he were more personable, I would give him a higher recommendation.
