I met with Dr. Murphy on my Evaluation Day (Feb 11, 2003) in San Diego. Other than her running late, my experience in her office was overwhelmingly positive. She is very personable and patient, and took the time to answer all of my questions. She wrote out a list of all of the potential problems with the surgery, discussing each with me in turn, making sure that I understood all of the negative possiblities, but she was not negative herself. She does want me to be sure to exercise every day before surgery, and to be sure to maintain my vitamin regimen, but she stressed that by doing these things, my recovery would be easier. How's that for a carrot! Everyone in the office was nice and happy to help in any way they could. My only regret about Dr. Murphy is that I will only get to see her when I go to San Diego for surgery, since I'm from out of the area and am flying down for it. I hope that she'll be the doctor at one of the post-op check-ups I will go to. I would rate her as a 10.
Dr. Mary was sweet, kind and caring every time I saw her in San Diego. She is a skilled surgeon and I do not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who is thinking about this surgery.

<p><font face="arial" size="3" color="#000080">My first impression of Dr. Hyland
was that he is a very confident, knowledgeable, and understanding doctor.
My impression of his skills as a surgeon and doctor has only increased over
time. He is an excellent surgeon, and I'm so happy he performed my
surgery. I had such a quick recovery and have had no complications, which
I attribute directly to his skills as a surgeon. </font></p>
<p><font face="arial" size="3" color="#000080">The aftercare has been
terrific! I have received much more aftercare than I ever thought I would,
and I feel that I'm in good hands with the "team" at Delray Medical
Center.</font></p>

i met dr.mary murphy at orientation i was really impressed with her i left orientation hoping she would be my surgeon so when i got my opproval they asked me what doctor i wanted right away i said dr.mary , went to san diego met with her and her staff the most caring people you can tell dr.mary really cares for her patients, looking forward to my sugery.
I think that Mary Murphy is great! She has been very upfront and honest about a number of questions and concerns that I had. She took her time in explaining and made sure that I was completely comfortable with the information. She spent more time than I had actually expected talking with and the person who will be with me after the surgery. I am very excited and just waiting for the date to be set.
Dr.Mary murphy is just the kind of Doctor I best respond to: she's personable, a natural teacher, candid, competant. Her group Pacific Bariatric has contracted with Kaiser for these surgeries...approval went slow, but steady ( due to keeping on them constantly to get all the steps done)So far the experience with PB has been good. A little slow to return calls but I feel in good hands there.no rudeness, no problems getting appts, everyone saw me earlier than scheduled...guess I got lucky! finished by preop exams and had 3 hours to kill, so I went shopping, bought new shoes and CDs
I was very impressed with her - she took her time - actually sat down and talked to me. She did an exam, asked questions, listened to what I had to say and answered my questions.
Dr. Murphy was great during my evaluation. She took pleanty of time to answer all my questions and explain the procedures and process. Her staff was great. Very encouraging and shared their experiences after WLS which helped a lot.
As my original surgeon was not a Blue Cross PPO doctor, I switched to a surgical group that is acceptable to both my primary insurance--Blue Cross and secondary insurance--Kaiser. I am going through the hoops for both companies hoping they will coordinate benefits.
I have seen Dr. Murphy, the internist Dr, Bresler, and the psych Dr. Hildebrandt. I have nothing but praise for the caring and gentle manner they all displayed. Wish me luck--I am hoping for a March or April surgical date.
So far I have only met with Dr. Mary Murphy once for our initial consult. She made me feel that she was not only a competent surgeon, but that she also really cares about what is happening to me. She is clear about what she expects me to do prior to and after surgery and that these requirements are not just rules, they are to help me have an easier time during and after surgery and to be successful, and also to help her do her job. I am excited that she is going to be my Dr.
My first impression of dr. mary was this woman really cares about people like me. She was straight to the point in what my job was going to be before, during, and after surgery. I had to have an active role in this process. I had a very difficult surgery. It took 5 hours insead of the 2 i was told. Dr. mary was at my bedside when i came out of recovery and was very comforting. She truley cares about her patients. The office staff at Pacific Bariatrics was wonderful. If i called with a question i was immedietly put threw to a nurse and was given the answers that i needed. Dr. Mary it a no nonsense dr. She doesn't want to mess with anyone that isn't willing to make a life style change, She had me scared to death during our consult. What can I say I was blessed to get her as my surgeon. The one thing about Dr. Mary is before she will schedule your surgery you have to start an exercise program and start drinking Pro Complex. Which by the way has 55 grams of protein, 4 grams of carbs and 1 gram on sugar. Doesn't taste bad either. And she will be able to tell if you havent started this regimen. After care was emphasized from the first visit. She was very honest about all the risks. She sits down with you and writes all of them out and goes over them one at a time. I would give her a ten on the rating scale. Both her surgical competence and bedside manner were great. She never left the room at the hospital without giving me encouraging words and a hug and peck on the cheek. I probrable wouldn't have made it threw if it werent for Dr. Mary Murphy. I was told i had a very difficult surgery for her to get threw. I came out with 2 JP tubes and one other tube coming from the distal stomach. By the grace of god i didnt get an infection. I had surgery on wed. and was let out on sat. One thing she said was there comes a time were infection wise i would be better off at home than in the hospital. Most people get infections while in the hospital.
