What our Clients Say
Christopher K
Dr. James Murphy is the BEST THERE IS. Look no further. I have been to plenty of other places and he is by far the only one I would ever recommend going to. He has the best supporting staff out there. I always feel confident going to them. He has the experience and knowledge to help you with whatever is needed.
Ann Miller
Everyone here is very friendly and professional. Open late so I don't need to take time off work for my appointments. Dr. Murphy is very good at explaining things in a way that truly helps you understand rather than trying to make you feel guilty. He also takes the time to go over options you may have if you are concerned about getting work done or how much your insurance will cover.
Terry Sander
I haven’t been going to a dentist as often as I should because I’ve often had an unpleasant experience with either the dentist or hygienist, so I just decided to keep putting it off. My wife convinced me to go to Proven Dental, which is where she goes. She finally wore me down, and I went there on 12/21/17. I’m really happy that I did.
About Dr. Murphy
“I love working with people,” Dr. Murphy says. “I love solving problems. I meet more interesting people from all walks of life in my practice than I could in any other profession. After working together for almost two decades, my staff and patients are wonderful to me. This career is very rewarding in every way you can think of.”
If you have a special dental problem, Dr. Murphy looks forward to helping you solve that problem.
Outside of work Dr. Murphy can be found on either his boat or Harley enjoying all that Wisconsin has to offer with his wife, two sons, dog, and grandsons.
Dr. Murphy grew up in Freedom, WI, a small town located between Appleton and Green Bay, and attended Marquette University on the Western Golf Association’s Evan Scholarship. Dr. Murphy was accepted early into Marquette’s Dental School, and upon graduation moved to Boston, Massachusetts to be near his wife’s family. Dr. Murphy was extremely successful in private practice on the east coast, but he missed the people of Wisconsin.
Dr. Murphy joined Dr. Michael LaFratta at Your Family Dentist on Grand Avenue in Waukesha 20 years ago. Together they had a nice "family dental practice" together. Recognizing the many technological and practice advances in dentistry, he decided in 2014 to build an entirely new office and practice where all the staff is able to work with all the latest advanced technologies in dentistry. Dr. Murphy is constantly reading literature and attending continuing education classes to stay abreast of the latest advances in dentistry.
