I have been seeing Dr. Murphy for about 20 years. A rare find in the plastic surgery field, he will set proper expectations and not embellish what the ultimate outcome may be of any particular procedure. His staff is friendly and pricing is reasonable. Highly recommend!

What Our Patients Are Saying "A great experience with beautiful results!"
Vallery LaBarre

Dr Murphy has wonderful bedside manor. He is able to present things honestly but in a way that doesn't feel judgmental. He actually declined to do a procedure on me because he felt it would not give good results. I appreciated his kindness and am very pleased with the results of my procedure.

My lashes are beautiful and last a lot longer then lashes that I have gotten at a previous place. Dr Murphy has done a wonderful job on a surgery I got. I have gotten tons of compliments on how great I look. I highly recommend this place!!!!
