I've been seeing Dr. Murphy for years. She has been my OB/GYN ever since I needed one! Even after moving I still choose to make the drive to see her. She's so sweet and caring and I always feel heard when I go and talk to her. Even though I typically only see her once a year, it never feels like that long of time has passed between visits. She's so easy to talk to and I love her dearly! Such a great doctor, I'd give her higher than a 10 if I could! :)

Dr. Murphy is the best. I feel very comfortable in her care. She takes the time to explain things, and always tells me to call with any questions that I have later.Before my polpectomy/ D&C, she came to pre-OP to see if I had questions about the procedure itself and emphasized, again, to call if I had a lot of bleeding or pain along with any questions I might have later.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
