Plastic Surgeons in New Bedford, Massachusetts (Bristol County)

My practice philosophy is to give every patient my undivided attention and provide for them the most honest and realistic expectations about what can be done for their condition. I only perform procedures that I feel are within my ability and training and if your condition is outside of my expertise I will give you the name of a doctor who will best treat you. Patients are treated as if they were my own family. Your Consultation My consultation with you will include evaluation of your condition, my opinion on how the condition should be treated and any alternatives you may wish to consider before making your decision. A history, physical examination and photographs will be taken and examples of possible outcomes will be shown via textbooks of surgery. I only perform surgery that I feel I am capable of performing and will treat you as though you were a member of my family. There are no charges after the initial consult for further visits. My secretary - office manager, Pat will be able to tell you the timing and scheduling of the surgery as well as the cost. Pat has been with me since I started my practice in 1980 and can also answer any common questions that have been asked in the last thirty years. She has no qualms in putting us directly in touch with you should the need arise and I am available at all times via my cellphone and answering service.... See More

Plastic surgery relies heavily on technical skill, artistic ability, and scientific knowledge. The specialty incorporates both cosmetic and reconstructive procedures, and requires more training than other surgical specialties. Many of the techniques used in cosmetic surgery are derived from reconstructive procedures. I have been fortunate to receive extensive training in the most up-to-date reconstructive and cosmetic surgical and non-surgical procedures. It is my goal to utilize this experience to provide the most effective and safe procedures for all of my patients. Plastic Surgery means much more to me than simply molding or shaping.Aesthetic surgery can do as much for self-image as well as for appearance. Refinements from cosmetic surgery often produce positive changes in self awareness and attitude that can be perceived and appreciated by you and those around you. My goal is to produce subtle but exciting changes. An overdone look or a surgical appearance is never something I try to create with my patients.The decision to change your appearance requires realistic expectations in addition to a thorough knowledge of the surgical process. It is my desire to help you achieve both. Together, we will discuss all aspects of your procedure.As an undergraduate, I studied art and art history. Learning about classical art laid down a foundation for my aesthetic. Throughout history, simple and subtle beauty has prevailed. My aesthetic is based on this. In all aspects of my practice, my goal is to create a simple and attractive beauty.I encourage questions during your consultation with me and understand that you need to take time to make your decision. It is the time you spend with your plastic surgeon before the operation that is important. You and your surgeon must share the same aesthetic. Through honest discussions about realistic expectations and goals, I know we both will achieve a great result.I look forward to meeting you! Your Consultation Please call to schedule a consultation or email: Patient Testimonials Having cosmetic surgery can be a very intimate, sensitive subject yet Dr. Doherty has a way to keep you totally at ease. He explains his recommendations and answers any questions, double checking to make sure you understand. He is totally approachable, easy to talk to and has a great sense of humor I have referred many friends to him for several different procedures and all are so pleased with their results. Mostly, it has been nice to trust him to always make me feel comfortable with our treatment plan. Next year, I am planning to have upper eyelid surgery and I would not give a thought to having anyone other then Dr Doherty perform my surgery. I look back and wonder why I waited so long to get help with my problem areas. I would do it again 100 times over. The recovery was a breeze since it was done under local. I was back to work in 2 days and just had some minor soreness. I do not believe there is a better surgeon around, he is THE BEST!... See More
