Exceptional! Always a pleasant experience and a courteous staff.
Dr. Murphy is a perfectionist in his field of expertise and very personable.
Dr. Murphy is very well respected amongst the hospital’s medical staff and they too, will tell you of his wonderful and devoted work.
His reputation precedes him.
He never rushes you and will spend time to discuss options, answer questions and is a pleasure!
I am 100% satisfied with his treatments and their outcome.
Meghan in scheduling is great, she gets the job done! She is very efficient and will do her best to meet your schedule’s needs as well

I went here in December of last year to get PicoSure tattoo removal, but just never got around to writing a review. I decided to go to Murphy because this was the only place in town that said they had an RN doing the procedure. I show up to find out that they do not have an RN, and only a laser technician. Not knocking the profession, but this is a drastic difference in education and I would not have originally came here if I knew that it was a laser tech instead of a nurse.
The most unfortunate part of the procedure was the quality. The technician missed about 15% of the large tattoo I have been

Aweful people and place, Murphy plastic surgery is a scam place and they are ripping off your pocket with not disclosing the cost of services, the office is under too much debt as the owner made her face a case study by trying all different stuff and injection to convince you to get the procedure done. I can't say enough about this place, just stay away from Murphy plastic surgery as the steal your money in plain sight!

Dr Murphy, his wife Tracy, and all the staff are hands down the best anywhere. I have been so pleased with everything they have done for me, from minor to major. You will not find a set of more capable hands anywhere.

The multitude of different services offered here helps make it a 'one stop shop,' as such, I visit Dr. Murphy's office quite frequently. Dr. Murphy, along with his extremely polished staff demonstrate collaboration effectively and efficiently with their patients. Dr. Murphy is very capable at mapping out the objective and maintaining the path to deliver the end result(s) that do not disappoint. He is caring and concerned while maintaining professional and efficient standards of service.

I want to make note of his staff who present themselves in a positive and professional manner

Dr. Murphy is one of a kind. He made me feel comfortable and was very professional. The entire staff is heartwarming and welcoming. After surgery they continuously followed up with me and made sure I had no concerns or questions. I appreciate their care.

Had to share my experience Dr Murphy is an amazing plastic surgeon he went beyond my expectations. Im going to call myself unfortunate of botched liposuction and it can be devastating. As soon as I was able to try and get it revised I went on a mission to meet with a number of surgeons in Reno area... I had even booked an appointment with A one of the best plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills which was scheduled for October of this year. But I figured I'd research surgeons in my area since I had time I wanted to do my homework second time around.

I met with very good surgeons and some that

All the staff here from start to finish and beyond are amazing! Throughout the entire process I felt completely taken care of, comfortable, and understood. Dr. Murphy listened, dispelled fears, and understood what I wanted. I had breast augmentation and tummy tuck. He did an incredible job and I am above happy with! Meghan explained a great deal and took genuine care before and after. What a great team. You will not be disappointed, they do amazing work here!

I had a traumatic event occur on vacation in mammoth. A buddy of mine slammed my thumb in the car door severing my thumb while in the middle of nowhere. I had to be helicoptered to reno for emergency surgery. So glad i got Dr. Murphy for surgery. He took extra time he didnt need to to explain to me what he was going to do. I was having extreme pain that night and the next day which was sunday and he even met me at his office sunday to check and make sure all was well. This doctor really cares about his patients and i am extremely grateful i got him as my surgeon. Thanks again Dr Murphy!

Having two kids and weight loss ended up doing a number on my lady bits. I had always figured I would get the girls revamped and enhanced but wasn't sure when or where I would end up taking the plunge. Finally after completing my six week transformation and getting in shape at Nevada Transformation Center I decided I would finally do it. At the ripe old age of 42 I decided to get the ladies a new gig.

One of my closest friends is a doctor and she went to Murphy to have her work done. I am so glad she did the leg work for me and I ended up coming here. Dr. M is very friendly and warm

This is Dr. Murphy's office. He is by far the best plastic surgeon in Reno. I am a repeat client of his. His work speaks for itself. I'm surprised he hasn't left Reno for a bigger market like San Francisco or Los Angeles but I am sure glad he hasn't!

I have been looking for a surgeon for about a year now, all over the west coast area! When I came across Dr Murphy's portfolio, I KNEW he was the surgeon for me! I had a Breast lift performed Jan 22nd, and so I am obviously still in the healing process - but I am already ECSTATIC about my results!! I am having another surgery by Dr Murphy in March, and I couldn't be happier, more relaxed and confident in anyone else! He makes you feel comfortable, and completely at ease in each appointment, he also seems to actually care about his patients. So so happy I continued my search until I came

I am currently getting laser tattoo removal at Murphy plastic surgery and I am pleased with the treatments I have had so far. My tattoo is fading nicely and I have had no scarring at all. The staff is friendly and professional. I have also received several chemical peels and I am very satisfied with the results.

I am a very picky A type personality person. I did a ton of research and consulted with two other plastic surgeons, doing a phone and email consult with Dr. Murphy. I found him to honest, down to earth, knowledgeable and candid. I decide to make the trip from Vancouver, WA to Reno, NV to get a lift and implants. I was very excited to have my consult and even more pleased when he suggested a less evasive and less expensive crescent lift to achieve my desired results! I could not believe he actually save me $ and my results....WOW! I absolutely love love love my new breasts! My sisters, girl

My review is really for the sweet girl Heather that works here. This place offers more services than just plastic surgery. they have massage and salon services at their co-business Renew MD, face cleaner and dietary products. ANYWAY, Heather is wonderful and friendly and I thought she needed her own review under this business :)
