Recognized as a reputable dermatologist and Mohs surgeon, Dr. Murphy serves as the President of The Indiana Skin Cancer Center in Greenwood, Indiana. He and Dr. Brenda Murphy, MD, founded the practice in 2007 with a goal to be the gold standard for the detection and treatment of all forms of skin cancer in the region.
Today, after performing over 40,000 surgical cases, they continue with the same priorities in mind. Serving patients compassionately and with cutting edge expertise, their main mission is to have a positive impact on the lives of all patients and to make sure their time in the office is a pleasant and effective experience.
Specializing in Mohs micrographic surgery and dermatologic surgery, The Indiana Skin Cancer Center is committed to providing the highest standards of care through: providing the most advanced and effective skin cancer treatments available; treating every patient with respect and personalized attention; and creating a welcoming, comfortable environment.
Growing up in Norfolk, Nebraska, Dr. Murphy graduated with honors from The University of Notre Dame and graduated with highest honors from The Ohio State University College of Medicine.
