Profile

Dr. James E. Murphy was born and raised in Reno, NV. He chose to earn his bachelor’s degree here at home from The University of Nevada, Reno, before attaining his medical degree from the same institution’s medical school in 1991. 

His passion for his country then led Dr. James E. Murphy to enlist in the United States Navy. Our doctor spent two years as a medical corpsman during Desert Storm, proudly serving the nation. 

Dr. James E. Murphy then completed a series of highly prestigious surgical residencies across the U.S. before deciding to return home to Reno. He chose to come back here because he wanted to raise his family in his hometown while creating the thriving surgery practice our city deserves.

Owning and operating his own surgical practice was daunting at first, but our surgeon has consistently excelled for decades. His Reno plastic surgery office and med spa have grown to become both wildly popular and widely respected. 

Patients especially love Dr. James E. Murphy’s easy-going bedside manner. They come to him struggling with cosmetic insecurities. He makes them feel at ease enough to discuss their desires, ask questions, and feel empowered about their choices. 

Our surgeon specializes in breast surgery, providing superior results in both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery of the breast. He performs more breast augmentations than any other surgery. He is also highly skilled in an array of other cosmetic surgeries spanning the breasts, body, and face.

I have been to many med spas over the years and Murphy by far is one of the best. Tiffany is an excellent technician and very experienced. I received an amazing Diamond Glow. I will certainly return again and again.

I recently had a breast augmentation done by Dr. Murphy and I am nothing but pleased with the outcome. He has a great bedside manner and is definitely a knowledgeable Dr, he answered all my questions before I even asked . I am still in the healing faze and definitely still sore but on the mend. Thank you Dr. Murphy!

Dr. Murphy and his staff are exceptional. Dr. Murphy is the first Dr that ACTUALLY spent quality time with me during my consultation and all follow up appointments. He is very humble, down to earth, and very realistic on expectations. I'm so glad I went with him!

After having such a wonderful experience with Dr. Murphy for my complicated breast surgery, I have continued to have excellent service with the Med Spa. Tracy is such a skilled nurse and spends time with you discussing injections and expectations. She explains each procedure thoroughly. I had my first Potenza treatment with Tiffany. She is a breath of fresh air. She takes such care in her work and is very experienced. She makes sure you are comfortable during the treatment and strives for the best results possible. She is friendly and easy-going and a great fit with the Murphy office!

Breast implants with Benelli lift on 10/18/24. I’m writing my review 3 months later because I’m actually in touch with them again to get another surgery 😆 And realized I never reviewed my first one! To start I had THE BEST experience with Dr. Murphy and his team. All the front desk ladies are very nice and direct you right to who you need to speak with immediately every time. Secondly, Meghan is my favorite she is there for you before your surgery directing you every step of the way and post surgery for as long as you need. Lastly, Dr.Murphy is so nice and you can tell he wants to help you get to where you want to be cosmetically. He takes his time, listens to your concerns, and as cliche as it sounds makes your cosmetic dreams come true. My chest was a big insecurity of mine after breast feeding 3 kids in 6 years time span. and I came out of surgery with him as a brand new woman. On top of all that he has super good pricing from the initial consultation to the actual surgery which was a big deal to me. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Murphy Plastic Surgery and Medical Spa.

For more than a year, I have been visiting the office of Dr. Murphy for eyelashes. It is a relief that I did not invest in surgery after reading the reviews...
