Dr Murphy has given me back my life. He was clear and honest on his part and my part. His explanations gave me full understanding from first visit to latest. Sharing images and encouragement. I know I still have work to do, but I can do so many things now that had been lost to me and to be free of the constant pain is a blessing in itself. Knowing i can contact him if any issues also gives me confidence. I would highly recommend him, he treated me as a person he could help and he did.

Very helpful especially with BUPA not having any common sense when I came to the surgery so he really helped me with the approval. Explained what was going to happen on the day and that doing exercises post operation is very important. Both very happy with my recovery so far
