Brendan C. Murphy, PA-C Physician Assistant

I really like helping people get back to the activities that makes their lives enjoyable. Whether it be an injured high school athlete trying to return to high level competitive sports, an active adult who wants to resume golf or tennis, or an older patient who wants to walk with less pain, I work closely with the patient and my supervising physician to achieve the best results possible for the patient.
