I had the great honor of working with Dr. Murphy for five years when he practiced in Connecticut.
As a Dentist myself, I referred my patients and friends to Dr. Murphy. I was consistently impressed with the excellent results that he was able to achieve for our patients. He was able to make even the most complex cases seem simple.
Dr. Murphy is not only talented, but he is very personable and our patients absolutely loved him. I had a handful of patients who would drive 40 min just to see him. We are all sad to see him leave Connecticut and wish him the best of luck!

I am a Periodontist in CT and have worked closely with Dr. Murphy since 2011. I can't say enough about how much I respect and admire his ability to connect with patients, team members, and colleagues. He is a dynamic person in addition to being an outstanding orthodontist. The quality of his work, overall thoroughness, and attention to detail, are of the highest standard. I will surely miss working with Dr. Murphy on a regular basis as he sets his roots in the great state of Maine!
