Mr Murphy was polite and courteous. He asked me all the necessary questions, although the consultation seemed rushed (I put it down to a busy clinic). I was referred for a scan and told that I would be contacted once the scan results were in.

I had an excellent experience during my consultant appointment with Mr John P Murphy at The Clementine Churchill Hospital. From start to finish, everything was clearly explained and handled professionally. Mr Murphy took the time to talk me through the appointment and the MRI diagnostic findings in a way that was easy to understand. I felt listened to, reassured, and well informed throughout. The appointment resulted in a referral for a spinal consultation and I appreciated the clear guidance on the next steps. Overall, it was a very positive experience and I would be happy to recommend Mr Murphy.

I cannot speak highly enough or Mr Murphy and his treatment of me, he was clear and precise of what he was doing, what was needed to be done and any future treatment such as a knee and patella replacement in “hopefully” 5+ years time as long as the knee does not worsen
