About Martha M. Murphy, D.D.S.
"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."
