Patient Testimonials

“I get so many compliments on my smile!  It has really increased my self confidence and makes it much easier to get up and sing in front of people.  The team takes really good care of me – I would recommend Dr. Murphree to anyone!” 

Andy, patient since 1986

“The first time I met Dr. Steve Murphree and his staff, it was clear that their ultimate goal was my well being and the health of my teeth and gums.  They are very professional, congenial and knowledgeable with restoring the teeth and providing a great smile.  They make each and every visit a pleasure and a joy … I have received many compliments on my teeth and even have been asked if I had had a face-lift shortly after my work was performed.  I am very grateful and appreciative for a job well done!” 

Doc, patient since 2004

“I just wanted to express my appreciation and thank all of you again for giving me my smile back.  It truly does make all the difference to have such an awesome doctor and staff taking care of you.  Your constant dedication and genuine concern helped to relieve my anxiety throughout each step of my treatment.  In addition, your encouragement and confidence in me have meant so much to me, especially having to face such a challenge at this stage in my life.  I am honored to represent your exceptional work and truly touched by the thoughtful card and gift card ...”

“Approximately 4 years ago, my company gave me an opportunity to relocate to Decatur, Alabama (from Canada)…In searching for services one needs such as doctors, dentists…I was given one of the best recommendations I have ever been given…Dr. Murphree and his team are truly “THE BEST” I have ever encountered in the dental practice…I have never been kept waiting for more than 10 minutes…that’s a huge plus.  When taken into one of their patient rooms, you are made comfortable by being told exactly what services they will be performing today and asking every so often if you are okay and/or is there anything they could get you – even down to heated neck rests…I have been extremely satisfied and happy with the dental work Dr. Murphree and his team have performed on me over the past few years.  As I am relocating home to Canada, I will be leaving Decatur.  My only regret is that I’m leaving a terrific dental team and although I know I’ll find another dentist, I feel I will never be able to replace the dental team I’ve had while living in Decatur.” 
Sue, patient from 2001 to 2006

“Steve,  I just wanted to drop you a line and say “Thanks for the wonderful job you have done”!  I am constantly receiving comments on how pretty my smile is.  You have a great staff and I would like to thank each and every one of them also for their parts in helping create such a pleasant experience and a wonderful smile. Thanks Again.”

“All of my life I yearned to have a beautiful smile, with nice evenly spaced teeth that were not yellowed.  Unfortunately, my teeth were not strong, which eventually required fillings in probably 80% of them.  Many of my fillings were very old and needed replacing even though in my adult years I had diligently brushed, flossed, used fluoride gel, etc.  As a child I had an extreme dread of going to a dentist because equipment was not as high-tech as it is now (nor was my dentist very gentle).  After my first visit to Dr. Murphree ? years ago, I quickly relaxed in regard to dental care.  His skill and professional manner (as well as that of all his staff) relieved my anxiety so that I no longer dread going to the dentist.  Last year?  Dr. Murphree and his assistants provided all the professional work that I needed to have a smile that I am happy to display.  If you desire professionalism, quality, expertise, wonderfully courteous and cheerful chair-side manner and atmosphere, make an appointment with Dr. Murphree. “  Gladys, patient since 1992

“No more brown smile!  Those are the first words I spoke to Dr. Steve Murphree when I went to his office for a consultation on my increasingly unattractive teeth.  There was nothing really wrong with them – they were just the result of getting older.  But they bothered me and I found myself smiling a bit less than I had when I felt my teeth were more attractive.
Dr. Murphree assured me that we could fi my teeth, and what’s more, we could fix them in such a way that they would still look natural and appropriate for my age.  One of the front upper teeth was a bit crooked and I wasn’t sure I wanted that one “fixed” because it was so important to me to still look like myself.  Dr. Murphree suggested that he take a little extra off the cooked (sic) tooth and place a veneer that was straighter than the existing tooth without looking fake.  We did that, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result.  They still look like my teeth, just better.
One of the questions I was asked at the Murphree Center was how I had chosen them.  I told them perfectly honestly it was because of their TV ad where Dr. Murphree appears to be smiling at pictures of his patients.  (I’d tell you what he’s really smiling at, but I wouldn’t want to spoil the surprise for you if you go see him!)
The whole staff at the Murphree Center is wonderful.  Mary, Deanna, Pat, Patty (and anyone I’ve forgotten to mention).  They do everything they can to make you feel that you are more than a patient; you’re a friend.  Dr. Murphree is a perfectionist – one of my veneers came in on time, but didn’t meet his exacting specifications, so he sent it back to be redone.  I’m sure that doesn’t increase his “bottom line”, but it’s the way he does business anyway. is is where I came in, isn’t it?  I’m thrilled with my teeth, I can’t say enough about what a positive experience this has been, and furthermore, I find myself smiling at people even when there’s nothing to smile at.  Truth is, people probably think I’m an idiot.  So let them go see Steve Murphree, then they can smile like an idiot too and say as I do….No more brown smile!” 
Lizzann, patient since 2005

“… I just wanted to say, Thank You, to everyone there for making my visit pleasurable.  I have never felt more relaxed and easy, about a Dentist visit.  I actually felt like I was someone, other than just a patient.  I haven’t stopped talking about my Dental visit to everyone that I have seen.  I have told them how you took care of me…  I just can’t say enough about how I was treated…I can actually say, that I am looking forward to coming back and having the rest of my teeth worked on.” 
Sherry, patient since 2004

“I wanted to do something for your office to say, Thank You for easing my fear of the Dentist.  Now I actually look forward to my visits.  Hope you all enjoy the cheesecake…I took all the calories out.  HA! HA!”
