My youngest son is getting married at 40 years old, and I was embarrassed to go and have people see what my teeth looked like. He completely re-did my front teeth so that they're normal, nice looking. I could smile and talk and not have to hide kind of a thing, so he just, again, went out of his way to take care of me, which he didn't have to do. He did four of my front teeth at one time. They're all capped, new, and it allowed me to smile and talk where I wouldn't have done that before. I would have stayed in the back of the crowd, but again, he just went above and beyond what any other dentist would have done. Most dentists would have said, "Well we'll do one tooth, and we'll see you in six months." Not him, he went out of his way to do all of it in one setting.

It was a great relief. Frankly it put me in tears that he was so compassionate and this was his idea. I did not ask him. This was something he came up with on his own, and said, "We need to get you ready for this wedding." And that comes back to his chair side manner. He's involved, asking you, "How are you doing? What is your life all about?" He's become not only the best dentist I've ever been to in my life, he's become a good friend. And like I said, you don't find that in the rest of the world. He's a real, rare person.

I have been abused by dentists in my life. Totally scared to death to go in the chair. Not with him, I'll just jump right in there. I'm a veteran. I've got damage done to me from the war. I've had three vertebrae replaced in my neck. Until I had that done, I couldn't lay back in the chair. He would get me as many pillows, or foam, or whatever it was to keep my neck... because my head had to be down.

I mean I had to be a real pain for him to work on, but he never one time complained. He just got one more pillow, or one more everything to make sure I was comfortable. And it was the fact that I couldn't lay my head back. My arms would go to sleep. I mean, he went above and beyond anybody I've ever encountered to help me.

I think that's what he is. He's a caring, helping person. Like I said, I've been to dozens of dentists, and 90% of them have hurt me, and have done bad work, not him. And that's rare. That is really rare. Anybody who finds him is going to find a jewel.

I had a lot of tooth loss due to, in my previous life, I call it, extreme poverty and no insurance. So when I had a dental problem, it got pulled. So there was a lot of tooth loss, and all the other dentists that I saw said the only option was to just pull what was left and get full dentures. And I didn't want to do that.

When I came and saw Dr. Murdoch and I explained my woes, expecting that he was just going to say what the rest of the dentists always said, but he didn't. He said, "What is your goal?" And my goal was just to be able to smile and not be ashamed. And he said, "We can do that." And instead of suggesting that I get all of my teeth pulled out, he made up this ingenious plan to do a bunch of bridges and just miracles. He restored everything, and I have got a full mouth of teeth now that feel like real teeth. It's amazing. It really was a miracle.

There was, I believe, three teeth missing on the upper left side, and four on the upper right, and two or three on the bottom, and two or three on the bottom there. And he just made very long bridges that no other dentist was willing to even attempt. They thought it just wasn't going to be strong enough, that the existing teeth weren't healthy enough. But they are, and they were, and it worked.

I don't worry about smiling anymore, and it just is such a relief to go to social functions and not have to worry about not smiling too big, or covering my mouth there. So it's a huge weight off my mind and I couldn't ask for a better experience. It really was a miracle.

Dr. Murdock is one of the kindest, most genuine doctors, people, that I have ever come across. He is very caring and very understanding and doesn't make you feel like you're just a number. He treats you like a person that how he would treat his family.

I have been very afraid of dentists always. My first visit with him, I literally had a panic attack in his chair. He took my pulse, made sure it wasn't actual something wrong, and then was very comforting, and calmed me down, and explained everything, and just very considerate, and understanding, and patient, which is hard to find.

After the first visit, and he was just so kind and genuine, it really helped me get over my phobia of going to the dentist. As time progressed, he'd never hurt me. I just got less and less afraid to go. Now I really, going to the dentist doesn't bother me at all when I know I'm going to see Dr. Murdock. It's nice to not have to be afraid anymore.

My husband had some challenging experiences as a young adult with a dentist having his wisdom teeth removed, and it made kind of a hard mark on him mentally and so Dr. Murdock is completely aware of that and the stress it is for my husband, and he does everything he can to make it an easy experience, a pleasant experience. One of the first things our daughters said after her first visit with Dr. Murdock was, "He is the first dentist that told me I have a nice smile." That meant a lot to her, and she looks forward to coming to visit him. In fact, she's out of state going to university, but she comes back here just to go to the dentist, because she has such confidence in Dr. Murdock. I think I would say he's very knowledgeable. He is very professional. He knows expertly what he is doing, but he also has a great ability to put you at ease and make you feel like you are one of his dearest, oldest friends and clients. I'm very confident with my smile. I feel like he has done a great job, especially as I get older. He's done a great job of keeping my smile and everything about my teeth, my bite, my gumline, all of those things, he does a great job of keeping all of that in a really healthy place.
