Meet the Team
Clinical Staff
Aric Murphy DDS, MD
SurgeonDr. Aric Murphy and his family have lived in Fort Collins since 2012. They chose the area because of its small town feel, great schools, college sports and access to the Rocky Mountains. Dr. Murphy completed Medical School and Residency from Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota and an additional year of Fellowship Training in Pediatric Maxillofacial Surgery treating children under 12 years of age. He has been on a number of surgical mission trips, including Guatemala and Vietnam, correcting cleft lip and palate deformities. He loves taking his three kids skiing, kayaking, backpacking and seasonal trips to local orchards picking fresh apples and peaches.
Pedro
Office MascotMeet Pedro, the miniature dinosaur discovered one afternoon in the office parking lot. Though barely an inch tall, he is bursting with charm. Pedro quickly claimed the title of office mascot. Since his arrival he's become the center of a little game we play: Finding Pedro. One person hides him somewhere- tucked behind monitors, nestled in potted plants, or perched atop picture frames- and the rest of us look for him. Whoever finds him earns the honor of hiding him next. Our patients even get drawn into the fun!
