    Absolutely wonderful surgeon. I had heard he was a very good doctor before I had to use his…read moreservices. The medical community in which I work was buzzing about him before I had meet him. When I did actually meet him, my 85 year old mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. He was recommended and referred by my mother's primary care doctor, Dr. Susan Murphy (no relation). Let me first say I have worked as a health care professional for over 25 years and I know 90 percent of the doctors here in the Vero Beach area. Most surgeons are somewhat cocky, have no bed side manner, and some I would say cautiously say have a "God complex". Dr. Ed Murphy has none of those qualities. During her first initial consult he was caring, compassionate and treated my mother with dignity and respect and even held her hand when she broke down during the consult. He explained the risks of the surgery and was truthful and honest about the outcome but did it in a way that didn't completely scare my mother to death. His office staff were extremely helpful and friendly and any questions or concerns we had they answered and helped us with. They were great when they helped us set up Home Health Care for her recovery at home.. By the way, Dr. Murphy was able to save her breast and the scarring is minimal. After my mother's surgery, about 4 months later, my husband had a gall bladder attack and needed emergency surgery. At the ER we requested him for the surgical consult and even the ER doctor told me we couldn't have chosen a better surgeon. The doctor was very busy but still took on my husband's case. My husband loved him! He was very down to earth, and you could joke and kid around with him too. He was also very professional and told us of the risks and complications that my husband might face. He never candy coated anything. My husband too has dealt with surgeons in there past, as he too had worked at a large hospital and knew many surgeons. He was impressed with his bed side manner. Dr. Murphy removed the gall bladder and even repaired a small umbilical hernia. My husband was in and out of the hospital within 48 hours and his recovery was uncomplicated. You can hardly see the scars but I guess that's because it was done with laparoscopy. Also, the wait time at his office for both the consults and follow-ups were pretty good with both my mother and my husband's cases. In past dealings with other surgeons we were waiting 3 hours because the office staff booked 5 patients at the same appointment. That is so very aggravating and then if your late by 10-15 minutes some doctors refuse to see you or make you reschedule.... but they will make you wait for hours. Needless to say, this was NOT the case at Dr. Murphy's office... no 3 hour wait time. One time we did wait an hour but the office called us ahead of time and told us there would be a wait because of an emergency that had arisen and they gave us the option to reschedule. I thought that was very thoughtful. Lord forbid I need his services again, but if I do, I will be calling on him! He is an awesome surgeon and doctor. Highly recommended!!!

    We met with PA Aliza and Dr. Herb for a second opinion. Aliza was very nice and extremely helpful…read more Dr. Herb was also very nice and very informative. He explained everything to us and assured us that my husband was ok. Even the receptions were very nice. We are snowbirds and feel very fortunate that there is a Cleveland clinic in the area.

    We moved from California a year ago, where we were long term members of a PPO, Kaiser Permanente…read more Since being in Florida, I have changed doctors three times due to lack of patient "care", meaning true concern and communication for the individual patient. There is an option to use My Chart, but rarely, if ever does a doctor reply. It is an MA or staff member. The persons who answer the phones for the clinic are short - tempered; act too busy to talk; rude; one hung up on me the last half hour telling me "you can't keep changing doctors"! Where do these people come from, and how do they get hired on to a health care provider, being the first patient contact! I have huge reqrets that due to my Medicare insurance, this is the only provider available. The last three doctors I have seen, are stoic and act to busy to interact. I am hoping my 4th choice (whom my husband has seen) will be amicable.

    I am writing specifically about the Emergency Room. A few weeks ago my husband was getting cardiac…read moretherapy at this facility. He went into V-tach and the nurses in cardiac therapy were quickly responsive and he was transported to the ER. This in no way changed how positive we felt about the cardiac therapy at Indian River. The ER immediately took my husband to a room and started monitoring his heart and started an IV. I was told this could cause sudden death and a hospitalist came into the room and I started asking questions. He told me he hadn't looked at my husband's chart so I had no idea why he came in without any knowledge of my husband's medical history. I told him before I knew that he was going to be admitted that I wanted to know what caused the V-Tach as I was worried about this happening at home and he didn't have any symptoms leading me to believe something was about to go wrong. He then responded that I could go out on the sidewalk and get killed by a car. What? What a way to address a wife who is already anxious about her husband's health and well being. The cardiac unit was good and we did in fact find out the cause and are handling this situation at home with his cardiologist at Mayo Clinic. This was our second visit in 2 years to Indian River ER and the last visit was actually more disturbing. Something needs to change in that ER.

    What happened to that place? I had a really bad time there for many different reasons today…read more Starting with getting incorrect info from the operator before I even arrived, and ending with a rude ignorant non helpful security guard at the E.R. when I was trying to leave. Shame on this place. They can and should do much better!

The bottom line is that…read moreDr. Hussamy must have done a piss poor job because my relative kept having pain & swelling. Dr.Hussamy kept telling her that the X Rays show that "everything is fine." This went on for several months and another medical opinion was sought. The other doctor found an infection and the hardware to be out of alignment! My relative will undergo surgery this week. Thank God for this other surgeon!

    Dr. advised that he would make sure that I was walking without pain after this surgery, well guess…read morewhat he didn't do the procedure that needed to be done and he did not give my husband (who can speak on my behalf) the option of agreeing to do this surgery. Therefore I am hurting worse now than I was before the surgery. Was charged almost $400 for a knee boot that I wore 1 day because I ended up with MERSA and the boot would rub on the wound and hurt. I wish I was able to post pictures of my scar. He let his assistant David close the wound and he did a terrible job. I have put mederma and other creams to try to get it to look better. It horrible and I am not a vain person but it looks like a butcher cut on my let. Horrible staff and office manager. I paid this provider over $1,500 asked to settle on a balance of $266 for $150 was told no by the office manager. I feel that it was all about the money for him. I used to recommend this doctor to everyone that I know if they had any orthopedic problems, now I would advise them to stay away from this office and doctor.
