About UsBusiness as usual? Hardly. When Murphy Austin formed in 1999, we made a deliberate choice to turn away from the classic "big law firm" approach. From the outset, we have adhered to the simple guiding principle that our clients will always get the attention and service they deserve. We strive constantly to both excel in client service and to exceed our clients' expectations.
What separates Murphy Austin from the rest of the pack? As your legal counsel, we know that we must understand you, and your business, to be able to deliver the outcome that you need and expect. Your achievements, your successes, your goals...those are at the very core of our focus and we take them to heart.
By investing in a long-term relationship with you, and becoming an integral part of your success, together we can play a significant role in both helping you achieve your goals and thereby help shape a more vibrant and healthy community. Big picture thinking? Perhaps, but it's what we believe. And it's who we are. Taking the time, commitment and passion to build a deeper, a more broad and long-term relationship with each of our clients is what makes Murphy Austin so different.
While we are honored and flattered by the many awards and recognition our attorneys and our firm receive each year, that recognition is a reflection of the successes of our clients. We also understand that, in the highly competitive world of legal services, superior legal expertise is the "base line" expectation of every client. Centered on the areas of business, real estate, construction, labor and employment, healthcare, tax and commercial litigation, our teams consist of astute professionals, working together in highly-integrated practices that provide personalized access to expertise exactly when and where you need it.
Your success is our sole and unwavering focus. We will always have your back. And we will always go the distance.

Our Clinical Mission
Our goal is to help you see better! We want to bring you clear comfortable vision at no matter what distance you like to spend most of your time. You can spend 10+ hours staring at a computer that is 22 inches away or you can read 3 novels in one week at a lap distance of 16 inches. We believe that we can improve the quality of your daily activities if both of your eyes are seeing to their maximum potential.
Thus "our mission is to improve the quality of life through new advancements in eye care technology and personal attention catered to each individual's visual needs". And.... at the same appointment, we do a check of your overall health by going over your medical history, allergies, blood pressure, glaucoma risk, and diabetes risk by looking at your your retina. The retina is the only place we can visualize blood vessels without surgery. A picture of your blood vessel is worth 1000 words describing your health. If there is a systemic condition, we coordinate total care with your primary care physician as often times systemic disease can also affect your vision.
Our Services
If you have a red eye or bacterial infection in the eye, you can be treated at our office. If you have diabetes, or experiencing unusual visual symptoms such as flashes of light, or sudden onset of floaters, we have the correct tools and expertise to dilate your pupils and examine the retina to detect any diseases, injuries, or disorders.
Comprehensive Eye Exams: Not all eye exams are the same. Request a dilated eye exam at least once every 2 years or more often to ensure the inside of your eye is healthy.

About Dr. Datwyler
My father was an orthodontist. Often, while growing up, I thought I wanted to be an orthodontist and follow in his footsteps. However, in high school I was introduced to architecture and that became the path I chose to follow. Not until after completing my architectural education and working for several years did I begin to feel incomplete and dissatisfied. After a couple years of soul searching, I decided to change careers. It felt natural to look to dentistry and orthodontics… that’s when I began down that path.
Dr. David R. Datwyler, DDS
I really enjoy encountering patients or parents several years later and hear them say, “I love my smile,” or “My son’s teeth looks so great, they smile all the time.”
Changing Paths
I wanted to be able to work with and help people in a creative yet challenging way, to be my own boss, have the autonomy to make my own decisions, and to work how I wanted to work. I became an orthodontist to feel the satisfaction of helping others in a visible and tangible way, as well as to experience the achievement of working as a professional. That first step was the toughest. I had to convince myself it was okay to change careers, to discard six years of college education and a similar number of years working to go in a completely different direction. Once I believed it was okay, and believed I would be happier in another profession outside of architecture, the rest was relatively easy. Although it did require a lot more school. Two years of college prerequisites to get into dental school, then four years of dental school before applying to orthodontic school...with no guarantees that I would get into either.
New School
I attended Dental School at University of California, San Francisco. I then completed my orthodontic residency at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland. San Francisco was a new and fresh experience in a big city. I was back in school, having graduated from college five years earlier. It was exciting and challenging, but I had purpose and was driven to do well. I met many great friends there and maintain many of those friendships today. Portland was the next adventure. A new city, new friends and more intensely focused on my studies. I was thrilled and excited that I made it into an orthodontics program and was finally embarking on my chosen career.
Constant Improvement
The desire to do better drives me every day. I want to improve all the time. I want to be a better orthodontist, a better businessperson, a better employer and leader. I want to be successful in my career, provide well for my family and live a happy and abundant life. I really enjoy encountering patients or parents several years later and hear them say, “I love my smile,” or “My son’s teeth looks so great, they smile all the time.” I want my patients to cherish the smile they receive. I want them to enjoy the time they spend with us. When they look in the mirror and smile, I want them to fondly remember their experience with our practice. Watching my kids grow up brings me the most joy in life. To experience them, their amazing personalities, to see the people they are becoming, to be with them and spend time together as a family brings me happiness.
Work Life Balance
Balance between work, family and personal enlightenment is key to success. Without happiness at home, professional life will falter. Without enriching myself through consistent education, soul enrichment, and maintaining physical health, I won’t be as focused or productive or successful in any of the other areas. It’s not how well you straighten teeth, but rather the experience you give your patients along the way. It’s definitely not about how good an orthodontist you think you are, but rather about how you treat people, communicate and the relationships you build.

The desire to do better drives me every day. I want to improve all the time. I want to be a better orthodontist, a better businessperson, a better employer and leader. I want to be successful in my career, provide well for my family and live a happy and abundant life. I really enjoy encountering patients or parents several years later and hear them say, “I love my smile,” or “My son’s teeth looks so great, they smile all the time.” I want my patients to cherish the smile they receive. I want them to enjoy the time they spend with us. When they look in the mirror and smile, I want them to fondly remember their experience with our practice. Watching my kids grow up brings me the most joy in life. To experience them, their amazing personalities, to see the people they are becoming, to be with them and spend time together as a family brings me happiness.
Work Life Balance
Balance between work, family and personal enlightenment is key to success. Without happiness at home, professional life will falter. Without enriching myself through consistent education, soul enrichment, and maintaining physical health, I won’t be as focused or productive or successful in any of the other areas. It’s not how well you straighten teeth, but rather the experience you give your patients along the way. It’s definitely not about how good an orthodontist you think you are, but rather about how you treat people, communicate and the relationships you build.

“Our Approach”
EES promotes the concept of “learning how to learn” which produces results in the short-term and empowerment for lifetime learning. Because we use teaching methodologies that affect cognition, we change the way learners receive new information which positively impacts competency that will be reflected in attitude toward learning, achievement and standardized testing.
EES and students:
We know that every student is unique, which is why we view each student as an individual and develop a personalized curriculum that not only enhances academic performance, but helps build confidence and create independent learners. We base our successes on our students achieving their long-term educational goals, and our tutors are committed as mentors and educators to make sure each student stays on track.
EES and parents:
At EES we are not only committed to our students, we are also committed to our parents. Addressing your child’s academic struggles can be challenging for the entire family. We understand that and are committed to offer support through our educational expertise. We communicate regularly with our parents and we also provide progress updates. We are always available to answer questions or address any concerns you are having. We love hearing about student successes too!
