  • "Dr. Murphy has been nothing short of phenomenal. I’ve had 2 years of run around with multiple doctors and no answers. I was finally sent to NYCBS to see him and he has always had the best bedside manner. He treats his patients with compassion and understanding. This medical journey has been a struggle for me but Dr. Murphy has gone above and beyond to get me answers and treatment within his scope and has linked me with other drs to help in my diagnosis. I am so grateful to have finally found a trustworthy Dr who cares about his patients and not just dollar signs. Thank you"
