"Dr Murphy is the best. He performed surgery on my nose to remove skin cancer. He’s an artist in opinion, No scar or evidence of surgery is visible. I would recommend him all the way."

"Dr Murphy checks me annually and has performed Mohs on me 2 different times. Once on my temple leaving essentially an undetectable scar in a squint line back in 2013 and recently in AUG 2019 on my shoulder with minimal scar using a mattress stitch technique. Excellent Surgical Dermatologist!!!"

"I had Mohs surgery last summer to remove my first basal cell carcinoma (at 31 yrs old). Dr. Murphy and his staff were great and did a fantastic job. I had a skin graft taken from my clavicle to fill in the hole on my forehead (near my hairline) and both places have healed better than I could have imagined! I would definitely recommend them and will use them again if I ever need another Mohs surgery."
