Have a broken bone in my foot as well as a bad spain. Dr. Murken was very pleasant and attentive. He was careful to review unrelated conditions that affected his method of treatment. I would recommend him without hesitation.

I broke my fibula and was able to get in for emergency surgery very quickly which was so amazing to get in as I was in horrendous pain. All of the staff and Dr. Murken were amazing. From the x-rays to splinting my hanging foot to the surgery to care…
