PATIENT REVIEWS

When my twin boys and I moved here in Feb 2012 I immediately started searching for orthodontists in our area because I knew my 11 year olds would be needing to start orthodontics soon. I searched Facebook and stumbled upon Murphy Orthodontics and called them because of how active they were on their Facebook page. I loved seeing all the fun photos and their quirky updates. It seemed like the perfect fit for our family. I called immediately and made consultation appointments for the boys and was greeted by a friendly voice on the other end, Lindsey. We chatted for about 30 minutes while she scheduled us, gathered our info, and welcomed us to the valley.At our consultation appointment I was extremely impressed with Dr. Murphy himself. Now, let’s be real moms, Dr. Murphy himself is very easy on the eyes. Let’s put that aside and focus on whether or not the man himself knows what he’s talking about. He does! The process was seamless! I’m proud to announce that today both of my boys are officially done with Phase 1. We had phase one braces removed hours ago and I couldn’t be more pleased. It was money well spent! As a single mother I really have to decide how I spend my money. I support my boys all on my own. I saved pennies over the past year to make it possible for them to have their jaw alignment and teeth corrected. I’m writing this because I want other parents to know that you can trust your money with Murphy Orthodontics. You WILL get exactly what Dr. Murphy visions your child’s mouth to look like at the end of whatever phase he determines is needed. My boys will be moving into Phase 2 once more adult teeth are present and I will be again trusting my money with the team at Murphy Orthodontics. You won’t be disappointed!

Amazing!! That’s the first word that comes to mind when describing Dr. Murphy’s office. We were in Phoenix on vacation visiting from California and my sons wire on his braces came loose, I spoke with Amber on the phone and she said they would be able to squeeze him in. We got to the office and all I can say is, it’s beautiful. Alisa took care of him and got the wire back into place. Thank you Dr. Murphy and your wonderful staff for saving the day and our vacation!!!

Dr. Murphy and his staff are not only efficient but they go out of their way to make every visit a positive experience. My son is a “complex case” and Dr. Murphy’s knowledge and methods have proven effective through the first stage. They are also commendable for the charitable works that they participate in throughout the year. You would be hard pressed to find a finer orthodontist and staff!

Now that it has been three years since I’ve had my braces off, I think it’s time for a review! 😉 Dr. Murphy’s office may be rad, but what makes he and his loyal team awesome is the personal and efficient service they’ve been providing since even before they moved in to their swanky new digs.  We started out with my bottom front teeth so crooked that they were starting to overlap.  With Dr. Murphy’s recommendation of going for metal braces, my teeth actually moved into place in about three months, and then the braces were on to “maintain/enforce” that straightness for six months after that.  How awesome is that?  Dr. Murphy’s undergrad degree is in Engineering, and you can easily sense the technical perfectionist that he is.  You are in good hands here.   I recall braces being painful when I wore them in middle school, but I never felt any pain this (late 30s) go around.  The team gave me a “braces orientation”; including reviewing each item in a package of supplies they gave me.  This really contributed positively to my overall experience, and I don’t know what I would have done without the ever-important “wax”!!  What I recall is a completely professional and totally put-together team; especially Rhonda, who seems like the superhero of braces.  Now, three years later, my (crowded) teeth are still straight.  I wear a retainer when I sleep only, and my teeth have stayed perfectly in place.  At one point, maybe 1.5 years ago, my retainer “chipped”, and Dr. Murphy fixed and fitted it back and said “it will still work perfectly”.  He was right.  Thank you, Dr. Murphy and team!

I had treatment as an adult with Dr Murphy and had a great experience. We ended up finishing up earlier than his original goal for me. The office is very nice and comfortable. The scheduling coordinator Leah was very helpful coordinating my appointments even though I work full time. All of the assistants were very thorough and reflections of Dr Murphys expertise. Highly recommended!

Doctor Murphy and his team have treated me like a rock star from the very beginning of my treatment all away to the End . I was blown away by the technology of the office because I didn’t have to take impressions anymore and I really don’t like doing that and that was a really big relief. I’m 33 years-old so a lot of adults shy away from getting braces but it has been one of the best choices I’ve made. I smile bigger and I’m much happier. I would give Murphy orthodonics 5 stars for quality, for efficiency, for cleanliness, and professionalism. If you are looking for an orthodontist you do not have to look any further doctor murthy is your guy .I’m just a regular Joe like everyone else and when I find something good I want everyone else to know about it. Have a great day

My daughter has been going here for several years. .  When we are here we feel more like we are family than clients.   They set it up to put the kids at ease and even make it fun for them with toys and other incentives.. In addition to that they often host special events for the kids to enjoy, such as movies, pool parties,  Halloween parties etcetera. The staff is always very friendly and go out of their way to accommodate schedules..   I highly recommend them.

Dr. Murphy is a very professional, knowledgeable and kindhearted orthodontist. His team also hold these same qualities. My daughter has had only great experiences with his business. Very reasonably priced, lots of incentives for the kids to keep up their orthodontic care and fun parties like the Halloween party at the park!! Grace will miss seeing his staff and him!! She has graduated with a beautiful smile thanks to Dr. Murphy and his staff. We have nothing but the highest of praises from our family! Highly recommend his business! Thank you so much for such a great experience!

Dr.Murphy is a true professional in every sense of the word. We just finished up with number 2 of 3 with full braces. Every step of the process is done with care and in a timely manner. The finance department is easy to work with to create financing that works for us. Five stars for sure. Loving the new smiles created by Dr Murphy, DDS.

Best Ortho in AZ! I had the same orthodontist back in California from the time I was 8 years old until I graduated high school who I thought was great at the time. When I moved to Arizona my teeth needed some correcting from not wearing my retainer, so I sought out a local orthodontist that did Invisilign. I was not that happy with the results. About 4 years after that I met Dr. Murphy, and he convinced me to try it again. I am ecstatic about the results, and I get compliments on my teeth & smile weekly. He provides a great service, got me the results I desired, his staff was wonderful to work with, he provides a fun environment, and the whole experience was excellent from beginning to end.

Before coming to Dr. Murphy I was told by several orthodontists  that invisalign would not be able to correct my smile. Dr. Murphy and his staff were happy to take my case and after 15 months of treatment I had  an even better smile than anticipated. Dr. Murphy and his staff were with me every step of the way and were always flexible to my busy schedule. If you have a need for orthodontic services or have a child that does, I would highly recommend Murphy Orthodontics.

Of course Dr. Murphy is wonderful but what I really think makes this office amazing is the staff. From the front desk, treatments, and billing team members, they are ALL very professional and friendly in person and on the phone. Every one that I have come in contact with is consistently this way. Especially Brittany and Lindsay, they stop and take time to listen and talk through my questions and give great advice for my daughter’s braces and insurance questions. I know there are others that have done this as well. Thank you for always a pleasant experience.

My smile didn’t just happen by itself! Dr. Murphy deserves the credit.  Invisalign braces are a modern miracle, if you ask me.  If I’d had the old-fashioned metal braces I could just see the pieces of rib meat getting stuck in my teeth and brackets after every barbecue! The staff at the office is always friendly and always puts the patient at ease.  Dr. Murphy is now seeing my older daughters to get their smiles fixed so they don’t have to wait as long as I did.  The girls love him, and the hit to my wallet isn’t even as bad as I expected!

Without question, Dr. Chris Murphy and his wonderful staff at Murphy Orthodontics provides the finest care and service in the Valley of the Sun. Both my son and daughter needed extensive orthodontic work and Dr. Murphy did a magnificent job on their teeth. Their smiles today are a thing of beauty and I cannot be grateful enough for the tremendous amount of care they provided throughout the entire treatment process. If anyone you knows needs orthodontic treatment, call Murphy Orthodontics today.

WOW!! Patient first attitude!! I initially went in to see Dr. Murphy for a consultation regarding some dental issues I wanted to get addressed, and from the very second I walked in I was impressed. The office is very modern and clean, you can tell they take pride in setting a nice and comforting environment for their patients. I was immediately addressed when I walked in and check-in was a breeze. A few minutes later I was called in and they began the process of taking pictures, pano’s and 3-D images of all my teeth. After the imaging was complete I went into an office with Lindsay Clark, I didn’t think I could be more impressed, but Lindsay proved me wrong (more on that a little later). Dr. Murphy came in and introduced himself, he also took a few minutes to listen to my dental “story”. He was very thorough with his assessment and provided me with a vast array of options; options that I didn’t even know were possible. At that time Lindsay went over the all the options presented by Dr. Murphy in more detail. She explained maintenance, timeframe, benefits and price ranges for all the options. She was so thorough and I definitely had all my questions answered. I spoke to Lindsay a few times before my appointment on 11/9/16 and she knew how excited I was to get my braces on that day, I had re-arranged my entire schedule specifically for this day…after all, this was the first day on the journey to a beautiful smile. ROADBLOCK with the office of my General Dentist. It appeared that there was some miscommunication regarding additional dental work. LINDSAY TO THE RESCUE. She must have called the office of my General Dentist at least 5 times in one hour to rectify the situation, and in all honestly I almost lost hope because they weren’t budging, I was so upset about rearranging my entire week for nothing. 20 minutes before my appointment, she called and was so apologetic about me not getting my braces on, she offered me so many different solutions, and then she placed me on hold for a few minutes. When she came back on the line she was so excited to let me know that my General Dentist ok’d the braces!!  I cannot believe how hard she worked just to make sure I was satisfied; to say she exceeded my expectations is the understatement of the year!!! To anyone in the Phoenix area, if you’re looking for the very best in the field… no need to look any further!!

This office is beautiful! Clean and modern. The staff is attentive and cheerful. From Lindsay at the front desk, to the assistants to Dr. Murphy himself, I was treated with kindness and respect. This was my daughter’s first visit and they walked me through the process of what is to come. The used videos and models to walk me through step by step of what to expect. The spoke to my daughter and answered her questions as well. After trying 2 other orthodontics offices and leaving each unsure what my daughter was in for, I am so happy I feel completely at ease with Dr. Murphy and his team!

We are so pleased with the excellent service and level of professionalism we have received so far. We started this process at another office for our daughter and became very frustrated after 2 consultations (both approx 10 mins long) and very little interaction or explanation on her treatment needs. We decided to try another office and we’re so glad we did! Dr Murphy’s office has been amazing..starting with the first phone call. The staff is kind and explains the process/appointments thoroughly. We decided to do the virtual treatment plan with a follow up Zoom call with the treatment coordinator. The video by Dr Murphy explaining his recommendations was thorough and easy to understand. The Zoom meeting with Lindsay was also very helpful and informative. It is refreshing to find an office that appreciates your time and runs so efficiently. Thank You!!

Doctor Murphy and his team to me are the best. From the very beginning all the way till the end they have treated me with the utmost respect and courtesy you could ask for. Doctor Murphy has awesome technology .I didn’t even have to take an impression for my retainers they digitally scanned my teeth and sent it to a lab I’ve had impressions done before-and I really dislike that process. So I was belated when I found out we didn’t have to do that again. Just another reason why I said doctor Murphy aside from other orthodontist. My teeth have never looked as good as they do now and I haven’t felt as good as I do now about myself. I’m 33 years-old you can say I started late with braces. I know for some adults It’s crazy  to think of having braces at this age but I feel like it’s the Best choice I’ve made in a long time. So if you’re looking for an orthodontist look no further Murphy orthodonics is where you need to be. Take it from a regular guy just like yourself. I hope this helps

Dr. Murphy is an amazing orthodontist! He is always very patient with my son who is your typical teenage boy that does not necessarily do as asked. My son,  who is very shy is extremely comfortable with both the staff and Dr. Murphy. Everyone is always so sweet and kind to us. My family,  like many others, does not have insurance coverage for orthodontic care. Dr. Murphy and his staff  made it  easy to arrange a monthly payment plan that was very affordable. My husband  has also begun treatment with Dr. Murphy and is extremely satisfied with the care  he has received thus far. I would defiantly recommend Dr. Murphy to any child or adult looking to get top notch orthodontic care!

Dr. Murphy and the team at Murphy Orthodontics are a true blessing to my family! The entire team is not only incredibly knowledgeable in their field, but loving and caring as well, for both the patient and the family. My daughter has complicated orthodontic needs due to a history of leukemia. Dr. Murphy and his team have taken exceptional care of her. They take the time to explain everything to her to calm her fears (and mine!), they do research to be certain they’re provusing the best treatment plan possible, and they turn what could be a very stressful experience into a fun one. Once you become a patient at Murphy Orthodontics, it’s like you become part of their family.

I am a Scottsdale dentist with two children, ages 9 and 12. I have seen the work of many local orthodontists and chose Dr. Murphy for my own children, who have complex orthodontic needs. Dr. Murphy stays at the forefront of modern orthodontics and consistently provides exceptional outcomes for my patients, and now for my own children. From a patients perspective Murphy Orthodontics is a modern, clean and comfortable practice with an exceptional team, from the front desk to the treatment coordinators and assistants everyone has been friendly, helpful, caring and kind. Dr. Murphy has done an exceptional job listening to our concerns for the kids and explaining how our concerns will be addressed by his treatment. His process for diagnosis and treatment are impressive, including 3D imaging and digital arch scans. As a dentist, I recommend Dr. Murphy to my patients, as a father, I chose Murphy Orthodontics for my son and daughter.

Not only is Murphy orthodontics one of the nicest orthodontic offices I have ever been to but the staff is professional, kind and courteous as well.

A TOP-NOTCH experience! I’d rate Dr. Murphy and his staff 10 stars, if I could! I went to Dr. Murphy because I was having issues and in pain when chewing my food. Come to find out, my bite was significantly off. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was the most important person in the world. Dr. Murphy and his staff treated me so special. They showed true compassion, professionalism, and care from start to finish over my year and a half treatment. Dr. Murphy, as well as, the entire staff are truly there to serve you and look out for your best interest. I recommend anybody to Murphy Orthodontics and Dr. Murphy because it’s hard to find someone that can give you the kind of service that I received there. There is never any hurry to rush you out and it’s all about the patient. Dr. Murphy and his staff are great with children, adults…patients of all ages. It is a positive, uplifting, fun environment. They made me feel like part of their family! If you are not smiling when you go in…you will certainly be smiling on your way out. Dr. Murphy gave me my life back, as I am chewing my food on both sides of my mouth again and in comfort! Having braces as an adult lacks smiling, but the end result left me beaming from ear to ear thanks to Dr. Murphy! ~Shawna:)

We have over 8 years of experience with this practice as both of my teens have had the pleasure of being “Murphy Patients”. I cannot brag enough about this place. From the decorative office to the friendly and helpful staff to the amazing results my kiddos have with thier smile. Keep up the amazing work… it’s one of the few places who still genuinely care. Dr. Murphy is awesome.

Murphy Orthodontics creates the best ortho experience for children. Both my children come here for ortho work. Dr. Murphy and his staff make you feel welcome and comfortable during every aspect of your visits. Their follow up is always on point as well. One of the most impressive things for me is that they never do anything for a buck. They will truly only do what they feel is necessary for YOUR child. Thank you Dr. Murphy for taking such good care of your patients.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Murphy and his wonderful staff. They are so warm and supportive, and they encourage you every step of the way. I actually looked forward to my appointments! They have fun incentives and contests every month, and everyone is always friendly and upbeat. Now that I have my braces off, I want to smile all the time! I would definitely recommend this office for children and adults. It doesn’t get any better than this!

My daughter has a small and very crowded mouth and had to get an expander. She was very scared walking in to Dr. Murphy’s office, but Henry made sure to explain every step before proceeding to do each step and helped my 8-year-old feel comfortable and at ease. Henry made sure to answer any questions my daughter and I had. Thank you Henry for being awesome!

Dr. Murphy has treated all three of our children. Two are partway through treatment and one of them is completed. Her feedback from the latest holiday photos was “wow look at that smile those are some great teeth 🙂 “. The office staff is courteous, accommodating and we are almost always seen within minutes of arrival. The office is comfortable to wait in and the parking is fantastic. I trust Dr. Murphy’s expertise and appreciate his upbeat personality

Dr Murphy is an OUTSTANDING Orthodontist and person. He has been seeing our son who is diagnosed with Aspergers and has severe sensory issues, especially when it comes to his mouth. Dr Murphy and his staff are very professional AND empathetic. They listen and work with my son taking into account his sensitivities and anxiety. Dr Murphy is very calm and takes the time to explain everything he needs to do. It’s very rare to find medical professionals who understand the needs of our kiddos. We feel blessed to have been referred to him.
