James E. Murphy, MD Changes Lives Hear Chase's Story

Over the past two decades, James E. Murphy, MD has become a trusted provider of cleft lip and palate surgery as well as facial reconstruction for patients injured in accidents. Children affected by cleft lip and palate typically have to undergo multiple surgeries starting at three months of age to achieve their desired results. Because of the lengthy treatment timeline for cleft lip and palate surgery, patients and their families grow very close to their doctors.

Chase is one of our longest-standing patients. Chase was born with cleft lip and palate, and he has been a patient at Murphy Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa since he was a baby. Just recently, he underwent his latest surgical procedure with James E. Murphy, MD. It has been an honor to lend our gifts to help Chase and his family reach their desired results.

Chase and his family are a part of the Murphy Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa family.
