Meet Dr. Murphy
Dr. Murphy grew up on an acreage near Blair, Nebraska. He attended University of Nebraska-Lincoln for his undergraduate degree and Creighton University for dental school.
I grew up on an acreage near Blair, Nebraska and have wanted to be a healthcare provider since age 8. My mom worked in a university hospital and I remember walking around seeing doctors and nurses everywhere and I really liked it. Following my junior year in undergrad, I learned more about dentistry and I decided it was a great fit for me so here I am. I attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and University of Nebraska-Omaha for my undergraduate degree and I graduated from Creighton University School of Dentistry in 2015.
Many people have had a bad dental experience at some point in their life and as a result, are very scared and anxious about going to the dentist. While gaining their trust is a challenge, reaching that point in the relationship with a patient is the most rewarding part of the job. My philosophy as a dentist is to meet patients where they are at and treat them how I would want to be treated.
I love to read and learn. I am a big believer that if you aren’t growing you’re dying. I also am very blessed to be surrounded by people who have that same mindset and so they inspire me to never become complacent and constantly improve what we do and the experience we provide our patients.
When I’m not working I enjoy spending time with my wife and 2 daughters; fishing, golfing, skiing and reading!
