Customer Review
Dr. Murphy,
This is not something I typically do. Writing reviews specifically, but even more-so taking time to handwrite the review/“Thank you”. I felt compelled to depart from my “norms” because of the life I have been able to live following my shoulder procedure performed by Dr. Kevin Murphy.
My shouder has been injured dating back to 8th grade. I have a hard time, or at least I had a hard time remembering a time I was not in pain or hindered significantly by this injury. In 2008-2009 (ish) I had my first SLAP repair. I didnt really know what to expect from the procedure. My shoulder had felt so terrible for so long that any improvement would be viewed as a win, and following the surgery and PT it was improved… though by how much is difficult to say.
(Fast forward 14 years)
Dr. Murphy was referred by a mutual friend and colleague as “The Guy” to talk to about my now worse than ever shoulder. I couldn’t gold, play catch/throw a ball, swim, even the “jolting” of a run would make my shoulder ache. I started with cortisone shots, but Dr. Murphy told me that he couldn’t give me enough of them to really help anything. Surgery was the course of action. I was hesitant. Shoulder surgery isn’t a picnic. Losing the power of your right arm is significant for the amount of time and there are no guarantees about the resolt. I could be worse off than I was!! Long story short, less long — I feel great, my shoulder feels great and I am BACK! Coaching/playing baseball, golfing, running, everything! Thank you for taking my “case” Dr. Murphy is “The Guy”!!
Sincerely,
Ty Lewis

Hello Dr. Murphy,
I want to start out by saying Happy New year. Secondly, I want to thank you for helping me get my body repaired. It has been a long four year journey to being pain free! First, the total knee replacement. Second, the torn rotator cuff and torn bicep. Third, back surgery for sciatic nerve issue and bone spur. Fourth, deviated sept, and sinus infection. Fifth, balloon sinuplasty. Being pain free has been a real pleasure. Everyday routines that used to tax my body and mind are no longer an issue. My body has adapted and my life has returned to normal. Better attitude, better sleep, better physical ability and strength, better breathing!
