On June 26th I saw Dr. Murphy for an injury to my foot, he wanted to put me off work for a couple…read moreweeks, but he said he would give me a walking boot and see me in 2 weeks. A gentleman came in with the boot and asked me to sign a paper to bill my ins. I was a late appt. so when I got home my mom and sister, told me I could get that boot online for way cheaper than what they would charge me. So I called the next morning, never used it, they said I could not bring it back because I signed a paper stating so, but they would only take what the insurance was willing to take, they were billing my insurance $334.00 (for a 25.00 boot). They never mentioned I could not bring it back (pretty important don't you think). So sure, enough I get the bill $216.00 for the boot, I called them, told them what the girl in the office told me, and they said they would knock it down 150.00. Then 2 weeks later a guy calls and tells me I can bring it back, this was now a month and 1/2 in, I wore it because I figured I would be paying for it. He said oh you wore I will have to talk to the doctor and recieved no call back. Moral of this story is found a new Doctor who is great, let this be a warning there are people with deceptive practices out there BE CAREFUL !!!!!!!

Do not go to this doctor. I was overcharged and misdiagnosed. They charged me for two injections,…read moreat $500 a piece, which I did NOT receive. I was understanding, as this was probably an error. When I asked for this to be removed from my bill, it was denied. Their office claimed I had signed permission to get an injection and that proves that it was done. Probably some sneaky way of making money. BUT I did not receive these injections. They will charge $100 per foot to put three pieces of tape on it for strapping. I wish I was aware of this, as I could have done this myself. For x-rays, they will bill your insurance 4 times for each "type" of x-ray. I now have a $700 bill for being misdiagnosed and I feel completely mistreated. I went elsewhere and obtained a second opinion. I'm finally pain free and satisfied with the care I was given elsewhere.
