Dr. Murphy is double board certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery.

Among the Best Facial Plastic Surgeons

Focused in both cosmetic facial plastic surgery and reconstruction of the face after skin cancer surgery or facial trauma, Dr. Murphy is a respected and skilled surgeon. In addition to his distinguished education, he was chosen from over 40 candidates for one of the most coveted fellowship programs offered under the direction of Calvin M. Johnson, Jr., MD at Tulane University. This prestigious fellowship is sanctioned by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

Giving Back

Dr. Murphy enjoys volunteering for Medical Missions for Children in Antigua, Guatemala where he provides cleft lip and palate repair surgery to impoverished families from rural communities. These communities do not have access to any level of medical care; therefore, many families travel two or more days seeking MMFC’s help for their child. Dr. Murphy and his wife are dedicated to numerous philanthropic causes. They live in Palm Beach Gardens with their three children.

Dr. Murphy enjoys golf and music, but he especially loves spending his free time with his family. He cares for his patients as he would his own family with honesty, integrity, and meticulous attention to every detail. His technique is impeccable. His commitment to state-of-the-art technology is second to none. His work translates into consistent natural and lasting results. When considering surgery for your face, trust your face to a facial plastic surgeon. Trust your face to Dr. Murphy.
