Dr. Martha M. Murphy

She'll never hurry your care and always treats you with the respect that you deserve.
Dr. Murphy is a life-long resident of Montgomery County, having grown up in Bethesda and Rockville.
"The two people who most influenced my decision to become a dentist were my parents. I was raised and educated with an emphasis on the importance of service to others. My parents, who were in the sciences, fostered my interest in science. I also enjoy working with people and have always been interested in the healthcare professions as far back as I can remember.
Looking back, I don’t believe I could have made a better career choice. It gives me great satisfaction when a patient tells me how their new smile has changed their life and self-confidence for the better."
