“Dr Gawley has done an amazing surgery on my face!! I look 10 years younger than my husband!! Dr Gawley and his team are outstanding!! So professional and courteous!! Thank you Dr Gawley for what you do to make others look and feel their best!!!”
“Dr Gawley and his staff are knowledgeable and caring. Their office is beautiful, and they were professional from start to finish, really taking the time to explain things and suggest a possible treatment plan for me. Highly recommend!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Jennifer Geoghegan and the entire team at MD Plastics. From my very first consultation through post-op care, my experience was absolutely exceptional. Dr. Geoghegan performed my brachioplasty arm lift with liposuction, and I could not be happier with my results. She is incredibly skilled, professional, compassionate, and attentive. She took the time to make me feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. Every detail of the procedure and recovery was explained clearly, which gave me tremendous peace of mind before surgery and during recovery. The staff was amazing from start to finish — kind, supportive, attentive, and always available to answer my questions. It’s clear that they genuinely care about their patients and the overall experience they provide. One thoughtful gesture that truly meant a lot to me was receiving a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a personal phone call from Dr. Geoghegan after my post-op appointment to make sure I was doing well. That level of kindness and compassion speaks volumes about the care this office provides. My recovery has gone exactly as expected thanks to the excellent guidance and support I received throughout the process. I would highly recommend Dr. Jennifer Geoghegan and MD Plastics to anyone considering a cosmetic procedure. They exceeded my expectations in every way, and I am incredibly grateful for both my experience and my results. Five stars all the way!”
“The shady business practice that was given is incredible. Absolute thieves. Forced me to put a surgery deposit before my consultation of $2000, then at my consultation had me sign paperwork, my own fault I didn’t read it all the way through. This paperwork made my deposit nonrefundable so after researching thinking about it like most normal people would do if I was gonna go through with the surgery, I decided it wasn’t for me called to get my deposit back and was told flat out. NO, I signed paperwork saying it’s not refundable now. Mind you I had to pay for the consultation as well. So they got paid an extra 2k to not actually do anything for me. So if you don’t mind paying 1000% more than the consultation cost, then go ahead and see them, otherwise their customer service is awful”
