More About Dr. Murray

Dr. Patrick Murray was born in the suburbs of Chicago. Through his life and medical training, he has lived in many parts of the country, including Texas, California, Nebraska, and New York.

He obtained his degree in Biochemistry from Saint Mary’s College of California, before getting his medical degree from Creighton University. He completed his Orthopaedic Surgery Residency at the University of Missouri- Kansas City and a fellowship in Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery at the University of Buffalo. He has received numerous awards throughout his education and training, including being selected as the outstanding orthopaedic surgery resident by the University of Missouri-Kansas City Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, the outstanding house staff member by the University of Missouri-Kansas City Graduate Medical Education, and was selected to participate in the Emerging Leader Program with the American Orthopaedic Association.

While in New York, Dr. Murray honed his training in state of the art surgical techniques which help people get back to doing what they love. During fellowship, the group who trained him would consult on hand and elbow injuries for athletes of the highest level, including the Buffalo Bills (NFL), the Buffalo Sabers (NHL) and the University of Buffalo Athletics (Division I collegiate athletes).

Dr. Murray believes there is rarely one answer than fits every person, and good outcomes depend on the patient, physician and the entire medical team working closely together. His treatments focus on getting you back to doing what you love to do.

Outside of Work

Outside of work, Dr. Murray enjoys spending time outdoors with his family and his dogs. He loves to play golf with his wife Kelsey on the weekends. He also loves food and exploring all the things the Kansas City area has to offer.
