Mark S Murphy, DDS

Best dentist ever. We’ve been patients of Dr. Murphy’s and his Genius Group for over 20 years. WE LOVE THEM. JUST SAYING

Had a crown put in last week here and Dr. Murphy and ALL his staff were great. I had never had a crown so Dr. Murphy was great about explaining everything as we went. The whole procedure was painless and I usually get nervous about dental work but not this time. Also, I don’t have insurance and had to pay with CareCredit, and I have to say they treated me no different and his front office staff were very kind and understanding. All in all, it was a great experience and I have found a new dentist!

I love the fact my teeth sparkle… Jan was able to chip off years of decay and make me feel young again… Jan is truely one and really the only for making the office a #1 place to go. Jan rocks the teeth! thanks again…

I have been going to Jackie Blair (Dental Hygentist) since I was a child. I have followed her along with 8 of my family members here to Dr Murphys office. We all LOVE her and we ALL have great clean teeth. We see her every 4 – 6 months for cleanings. We have never had a bad experience at this office or with any of the friendly staff at Dr Murphys office. Even when our insurance changed and Dr Murphys office would not take our insurance we paid out of pocket to come have our teeth cleaned by Jackie! Even the décor is beautiful here and unlike any other dentist office around. Bottom line we only have great things to say about this office and will always reccommend them to Anyone!

I have been going to Dr. Murphy for 10+ years and have nothing but good things to say about him and his staff.
Dr. Murphy: Dr. Murphy is amazingly nice and a huge believer in pain free dental care. He will do everything he can to keep you comfortable during your treatments — and I have had several treatments such as fillings and a root canal. He uses the most up to date technology allowing the best service possible. He has tv’s in the ceilings to keep you distracted while he does his work, which works perfect for me because I start to pay more attention to what’s on tv then what’s going on in my mouth. Dr. Murphy is always very friendly and makes you feel very welcome in the office. To sum it up, Dr. Murphy is awesome!
Hygienist: I personally see Jackie. She is gentle and I believe she genuinely cares about my (and everyone else’s) oral hygiene. (which is rare these days) She takes her time and talks about any issues such as sensitivity, etc. She’s very through with cleaning and doing an oral exam. (Not too sure about the experience the gentleman had in a previous review, but that has never been the case for me and I have been seeing Jackie for years) I have had nothing but great experiences with Jackie. Jan is great too!
Office Staff and Dental Assistant: Always professional and friendly. I have nothing bad to say about any of them.
Atmosphere of the office: Awesome! Dr. Murphy pulled out all the stops when he moved to this locations resulting in a BEAUTIFUL office. The office is actually warm and cozy and does NOT feel or look like a dentist office. (well, minus the dental chairs and such) The office is always super clean, and even smells clean when you walk in — not like cleaning chemicals… just…clean!
Price: I have no clue, as I always have good dental insurance and rarely have to pay anything out of pocket — and if I do, it like a $ 20 copay that they will bill me for.
I have referred several people to Dr. Murphy over the years and they all absolutely love him, the office and his team.
Overall: He’s a fantastic dentist with a great team and I’ll be his patient until he retires.

Another fair review, so you know… I had veneers done and for whatever reason, I’ve had nothing but trouble. My advice: do your homework, google possible veneer problems. Unless you have major issues, I suggest you stay away from having them done period. Another suggestion: before they’re permanently glued on, ask that they be temporarily glued. Make sure and check out the color in natural light, rather than in the dental chair.

Ive been coming here since I was little… How long ago you ask? Well I went to them when they were in Hayward off of B st. Dr. Murphy himself use to clean my teeth and I’d always get a toy afterwards! :)
Anyway, Everybody there is WONDERFUL! I always have a pleasant experience at Dr. Murphy’s office. One thing I love about them is when I need to reschedule (due to my school and work schedule changing every semester) they are fine with that and never give me attitude about it. I will continue to go to Dr. Murphy’s as long as I live in the bay area!
BTW, Tim and Karen’s reviews are fake. Don’t be fooled by that foolery. Great office, great staff and great services!

I echo the other comment. I as well am not a «regular» when it comes to dentistry. In fact, I was REALLY put off by one office (not this one!) that really kept me away for a number of years.
My wife & kids have gone to Dr. Murphy for some time and they finally talked the «Dental Chicken» to go in. Jackie did an initial cleaning and then deeper stuff on another visit. Here is what I have to say about this practice:
1) The experience starts when you pull into the well laid out parking area amongst shade trees. The dental office is actually a house converted to a dental practice (although the «home feel» was not lost). As you walk to the front door you immediatel smell the Wisteria that grows on the overhead lattice on the porch.
2) The waiting area and front desk are very inviting and «warm» feeling. A couple flat screen TV’s are going in the waiting area.
3) The entire staff make you feel at home and welcome. There is not an aire of «office» but more like «family». Makes you feel at ease.
4) Jackie is nothing short of amazing. Her patience and understanding to my apprehension was so appreciated I can not begin to describe. Since I don’t go often I think she had her work cut out for her but she did a great job. I went in fearing the worse and came out with nice clean teeth and almost NO pain whatsoever. Jackie is awesome, awesome, awesome!!! I wont go anywhere else now.
5) Dr. Murphy is also top shelf. I have had others that have a certain arrogance or do not take the time you need, etc. Not so with Dr. Murphy. First, just like his staff, he made me feel welcome and comfortable. He is professional and shoots straight. I can say this is the FIRST dental professional (along with Jackie) that I am totally at ease with (I am 50 years old now so I have been around a bit).
6) Everything is digital. They have a screen right there where you can instantly review your «xray» and go over any issues. Also the TV in the ceiling is a nice touch (so when you are tilted back you can watch).
To summarize, if you need a place for quality dental care, and you tired of all the BS that is out there and just want to get things taken care of in a relaxing environment, this is the place. Feel free to email me if you would like further,

Dr. Murphy & his staff are AWESOME! I hadn’t been to a dentist in about 7 years so I needed a very thorough cleaning. I was afraid that my gums would bleed & hurt, but although it took two appointments I came through with minimal discomfort. The nice thing about having two appointments, though, was that I got to meet Dr. McCready & Jackie & experience their different techniques using different technologies. Dr. Murphy did my initial intake & he was super friendly, very informative & very thorough. The office is really nice & soothing. I first visited Dr. Murphy’s office on a recommendation from a co-​worker & I would recommend this practice to anyone seeking dental care in the area.
