Practice Philosophy
Dr. Geraghty believes in the conservative approach to surgery and will suggest Thermage or skin care techniques if needed rather than a premature laser treatment or facelift. He understands the benefit of combining good skin care with surgical procedures to get an enhanced result. He will also never talk his patients into any procedure if he does not feel as though they are ready for it.A qualified plastic surgeon is certified with the American Board of Plastic Surgery, which is one of 16 certifying boards regulated by the American Board of Medical Specialties. As professional credentials are very important when selecting a plastic surgeon, Dr. Geraghty has been board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons since April 1979 and has focused his main interest in aesthetic plastic surgery.
