A MISSION TO HELP
Dr. Timothy Murphy got his first glimpse of orthopedic medicine as a child when he
tagged along as his father – Daniel Murphy, MD, one of the founding partners at
Murphy Wainer Orthopedic Specialists – saw patients and covered sporting events.
“As a kid, I would go on hospital rounds and to games where he was the orthopedic
physician covering the Greensboro Monarchs ECHL hockey team, which I thought was
really cool,” the younger Dr. Murphy recalls.
By the time he was a high school student, Timothy Murphy had spent time
shadowing his father and other surgeons – and had solidified his decision to enter
the “family business.” During his high school career as an all-conference wrestler
and all-state lacrosse player at Greensboro Day School, he also got a view of
orthopedic medicine from the patient’s perspective – when he needed surgery to
reconstruct a torn ACL.
In medical school, he earned multiple honors while further developing a passion for
helping people. As a medical student, he traveled to Nicaragua and Costa Rica on
medical mission trips because, he says, “I think it’s important that we give back.”
As a doctor in his hometown, Dr. Murphy enjoys meeting patients, assessing their
conditions, and helping them get back to work and other activities. “One of the
great things about my work is that I can help people get back to doing the things
they enjoy – whether it is jogging in the neighborhood or playing basketball on an
elite team,” he says.
In his spare time, Dr. Murphy likes to spend time with his wife, Lindsey Murphy, MD,
and their three children. His hobbies include woodworking, watching and playing
sports, running, biking, and participating in triathlons and other races.
