About This Provider

Dr. James Murphy, DDS, MD, FACS, FRCS is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon specializing in head and neck oncology, microvascular reconstruction, and craniofacial surgery. He earned both medical and dental degrees from University College Cork in Ireland, then completed his surgical residency at the University of Maryland Medical Center and the Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore. He pursued two specialized fellowships: one in Head and Neck Oncology and Microvascular Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Michigan, and one in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery with a craniofacial focus at Rush University Medical Center. Dr. Murphy is a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons. He serves on faculty at Rush University and Cook County Health, training residents in oral and maxillofacial surgery, and evaluates surgical training programs nationally as a CODA site visitor. He sees patients at OMHNA across four locations in Chicago and Northwest Indiana, bringing subspecialty depth in jaw reconstruction, oral cancer surgery, and orthognathic correction to patients who often arrive after other providers have declined their complex cases.
