About Dr. Murphy

Dr. Murphy is a family physician who founded Mountain View Direct Care, a direct primary care practice in Fryeburg, Maine. He earned his Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Virginia School of Medicine in 2014 and completed a Family Medicine residency at the University of Virginia Health System. During residency he trained in the rural health track at Crossroads Family Medicine, giving bilingual care to underserved Latino communities.

He has been certified by the American Board of Family Medicine since 2017. He held primary care roles across New England, most recently at Memorial Hospital, MaineHealth, in North Conway, NH.

During the COVID-19 pandemic he provided telehealth and acute care, including staffing a field hospital for people living in homeless shelters. His direct primary care model removes insurance complexity, which gives him more time with patients and long-term, trust-based relationships. His clinical practice focuses on holistic primary care, wellness and preventive medicine.
