Report
Dr. Murray, Alex and MOST of the medical staff I've interacted with at the office are such an AMAZING group of kind, compassionate and genuinely great people. Almost everyone there are so friendly and sweet. I was very nervous about getting my first total hip replacement. But they made it such a great and smooth experience. I already recommended Dr. Murray to my mom and anyone in need of a Orthopedic Surgeon! Hands down the best doctor and team, I've experienced EVER. Highly recommended. Keri E.

Report
I had knee replacement surgery on September 28th and I could not be more pleased. The staff had given me a packet with paperwork including PT, insurance approvals, exercises, follow-up appointments & more, very efficient and professional. I wish there were more stars to give Dr. Murray for his skill & knowledge. This surgery was life changing for me, . The night of surgery as I was walking around the hospital hallways I said "I feel better now than when I came in this morning". I was walking straight for the first time in 30 years. I am so grateful.

Report
I had a right Mako, Robotic Assisted total knee replacement under the care of Dr Murray. I was up walking and doing stairs 3 hours after the procedure! Dr Murray's team is so professional and caring. They checked in at home to be sure I had a call from the physical therapist to make sure my recovery is on track. The nursing care at Saint Francis CT Joint Replacement Center was excellent as well and I credit the team with my excellent recovery. I highly recommend Dr Murray and his team for joint replacement.

Report
Dr. Murray is a busy and popular Doctor. He uses robotic help to make measurements very accurate. The day I had my hip replaced, he had 7 hip replacements lined up in the OR. The minute I woke up in the post-op area, my hip had stopped hurting. I had suffered with extreme arthritis and could barely walk. I highly recommend him.
