Mary Murphy Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

'Very warm

She is the best!!!!!!!!! I could not have found a better doctor. She is so sweet and caring. Her bed side manner is great. She had made me feel like her friend. I felt completely safe in her hands. I can't describe in words how wonderful she is. I am very lucky to have found her. She is an angel!

My first impression was wonderful. She has a good sense of humor and seems very caring. I am just upset that I am having to wait to schedule the surgery even though everything is completed and the lab results are back. The office staff overall is very helpful. At first I was dealing with Jamie and she was friendly when you were able to get in touch with her but that was few and far between and she just didn't seem as aggressive or on the ball as I felt she needed to be. As for the person that I am dealing with now her name is Dedra and she is very helpful and very easy to get a hold of and returns your phone calls and has answers pretty quick. I haven't scheduled the surgery yet but they promise me it should be scheduled this week. My fingers are crossed.
My surgery was scheduled and went well. My surgeon was wonderful and the follow up care as been exceptional! Thank you Dr. Mary Murphy and staff.

I really like Dr. Murphy, she is very down to earth and explained everything clearing an made me feel very comfortable about going through this procedure. This was my first surgery ever and I had a lot of anxiety.

My impression never did change. She is a great lady who cares about her patients.

They were very helpful as well. Professional & responded to any calls/questions quickly.

I would have liked to see her during my hospital stay; didn't get to see her until I had my first post op appt. I did see other Dr's of the surgical team, but it would have been nice to see her (although I do realize that they are very busy, so it wasn't a big issue).

I would highly recommend Dr. Mary Murphy. I have absolutely no complaints.

Gave handouts and instructions. The hospital also provided us all with very useful information.

Yes.

She was honest but also presented it in such a way that it didn't scare me to death and have me cancel the surgery.

I was very fortunate to have Dr. Mary Murphy as my surgeon. On a scale from 1-10??? A definate 10.

Both most definately. A competent surgeon is of the utmost importance but if you aren't comfortable with the surgeon, or if they don't make you feel like they genuinally care about you, you will have doubts about them.

My impression of Dr. Mary Murphy was excellent. I am only sorry that she is no longer affillated with Kaiser Permanente, but has ventured out on her own. She is an excellent Doctor. My impression has not changed regarding her ability or professionalism. Her office staff was very professional as she was in with 4 other Doctors. She is kind and caring and very thoughtful. She went over all the good and bad things that could happen during the surgery so you would have a clue on what was going to happen. I only had a chance to see her a couple of times after surgery due to the fact as stated above she was no longer with Kaiser.
I would rate her absolutely an amazing Doctor.
Her surgical competence and bedside manner was wonderful.

FIRST IMPRESSION....WAS WONDERFUL SHE WAS A GREAT DELIGHT A PEOPLE PERSON MY IMPRESSION NEVER CHANGED SHE'S GREAT...WELLL SOME GOOD AND SOME NOT SO GOOD I FEEL EVERYTHNG SHLD GO HAND AND HAND...PATIENCE CAREA ND SHOW SOME CONCERN....IF YOU MEAN DR. MURPHY I STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT SHE BE YOUR CHOICE WHAT WAS NECESSARY REGARDING AFT. CARE...I WOULD HALF TO SAY THE AFT. CARE COOULD HAVE BEEN MORE STRUCTERED...THAT INFO CAME FROM MY DR. AT KAISER DURING THE PROGRAM...OVERALL BIG A....BOTH SURGICAL COMPETENCE AND BED SIDE MANNERS SHE WAS GOOD KNOW DOUBT...I FELT AT EASE WITH HER DEMANER
I KNOW AND REALIZE THT EVERYONE ISN'T PREFECT
SHE HAD A GREAT ATTITUDE,,,SHOWED CARE AND CONCERN..AND THIS IS MY TRUTH PLEASE EXCEPT THAT....ITS MY HONESTLY BLESSINGS STAFF

Mary Murphy was caring, knowledgeable, non-judgemental, and to the point. My impression of her is still the same. Staff seemed professional and efficient. My only criticism of the staff is that my phone messages were not always returned in a timely manner. I liked everything that I saw about her. She doesn't mess around and expects you to hold up your end of the deal. That, I found to be a good motivator. Aftercare at Pacific Bariatrics is of the utmost importance, you must commit to you post op appointments for life. (once per year, after the 1st year.) Surgery risks were explained to me, I felt in a realistic way. Mary Murphy is a great surgeon-everything went perfectly. Surgical competence is the most important, but it's nice to have a good bedside manner. This is my personal experience.

I liked Dr. Mary Murphy. She was very friendly and caring. She made me feel like we were in this "together."

The staff at Pacific Bariatrics (San Diego, CA) were friendly and helpful.

The after care is impressive, supportive, and accessible.

The risks were explained in detail. All my questions were answered completely.

Without hesitation, I would refer anyone to Dr. Mary Murphy.

The surgery went well, the post-op care, and bedside manner were excellent.

Dr. Mary has been completely supportive and understanding throughout the entire process. she was wonderful while I was in the hospital, especially when I experienced some complications. I have had 3 postop appointments with her, and she always greets me as a dear friend that she hasnt talked to in awhile, and I know that she cant remember everyone, but she makes me feel special. Dr. Mary always spends time with me, and answers all my questions, which are quite a few. She never makes me feel rushed, even though I know that other patients are waiting. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give her a 10+ rating.. she is the greatest!!!
