George T. Moynihan, MD

Dr. Moynihan is in a league of his own. I’m eight weeks out from a neck and brow lift, and every time I look in the mirror, I’m astounded by the quality of his work. He’s not the first plastic surgeon I’ve consulted with, but he is undoubtedly the best.
I’m not trying to blow smoke here, but the doctor has a gift. Have you seen his before and after photos? He subscribes to the "less is more" philosophy and won't perform a procedure unless he truly believes it’s warranted. For example, I suggested a fat transfer to my temples, and he not only discouraged it, but also explained why it was a bad idea.
Beyond the doctor’s technical expertise, he has a wonderful bedside manner. I just loved working with him—there wasn’t a whiff of stuffiness or arrogance. His staff is equally wonderful. From my first meeting with Susan to Sarah, Carly and Olivia at the front desk, they all made me feel welcome and appreciated. I’m beyond grateful to them all!

I had a rhinoplasty with Dr. Moynihan in June of 2023 and had the best experience! From my 1st consultation, to the day of the procedure and the aftercare! Susan the surgery coordinator was also amazing and so sweet. As a bonus the office is beautiful as well. So my nose was on the wider side, bulbous and droopy tip. I've always disliked it and felt it didn't fit my features. However, most rhinoplasty's you see are to remove a hump on the bridge. What I wanted was different, so it took me a long time and lots of research to find someone who could help achieve my goals. I love my new nose, it compliments my face SO well! I didn't want a dramatic change and I got exactly what I wanted. Dr. Moynihan really listened to my concerns and even had some suggestions, but I never felt pressured to take them. He took his time to explain everything to me and I instantly felt calm and like I could really trust him. So glad I did, he genuinely cares about his patients and what will truly fit you best! His work is also good in the sense that I had minimal discomfort! And he personally calls to check in on you after as well. It's about to be a year next month since my surgery and I still have some swelling on the tip of my nose. Which is normal, especially with thicker skin. Can't wait to see it when it's fully recovered!

Dr. Moynihan and his staff were courteous, professional, and reassuring. They were accommodating when it came to working with my schedule and we were even able to move the surgery forward after a cancellation by another patient without any issues. I feel like I got exactly what I wanted out of my procedure and I was well prepared for recovery. I would definitely come back for future procedures.

I had a very recessed chin and I contacted Dr. Moynihan’s office for a chin augmentation after reading lots of reviews. I can’t say enough good things about his staff, especially Susan and Nicole. They were super responsive and communicative. They thoroughly answered all my questions and were there if I needed anything at all. This was a big decision for me so I really appreciated their attentiveness.

The reason I’ve left 3 stars is that I don’t feel the doctor set realistic expectations. My initial consult with him was done virtually as it was only a year into the pandemic, so my expectations were based on his assessment of my photos and one virtual meeting. Post implant, my chin is almost exactly the same in terms of projection, which is what I was hoping to address. Dr. Moynihan knew this was my goal and led me to believe it would be accomplished. I do think the implant improved my overall facial balance, especially from the front, but my side profile essentially looks the same, and for a $7,000 procedure, the outcome is not what I was expecting.

I wish Dr. Moynihan would have better set expectations if he didn’t feel he could accomplish my goals. This was a lot of money and a big deal to me, and I wish I would have been better informed.

After I posted my review, Dr. Moynihan’s office contacted me and offered to have me meet with Dr. Moynihan. Everyone was so kind and wanted to make sure I was happy with the outcome. He suggested doing a revision and said he thought he could get me a bit more projection by essentially adding an extension to the implant. He also made sure I had more realistic expectations of the outcome. We did the revision and I’m happy with it!

Very easy experience and i really appreciated being able to make the surgery only a month or so out from my consultation. Once I met Dr. Moynihan I knew i had found the surgeon I was looking for and was SO happy I did not then have to wait a lengthy amount of time. I think what really helped in my preliminary search was the office's use of social media and gallery of before and afters. Some plastic surgeons in the area did not allow me to see before and after photos of their rhinoplasties and I found that off putting. I liked the transparency of Dr. Moynihan's website. I also want to note that his overall confidence when meeting with potential clients was AMAZING. For such a big decision, it was comforting to have a surgeon who was so confident that he could provide me exactly what i was looking for. The anesthesiologist and male nurse that assisted me right before my surgery were a pleasure to speak with! :) My father's only note was that he would've liked Dr. Moynihan to speak with him following the surgery (maybe when I had just got done and he was in the waiting room) to confirm with him everything went well, etc.

I am so happy with my procedure and results! Doctor Moynihan is excellent! I love that he is a perfectionist and takes his time.
He really cares and follows up. The entire practice is so friendly and caring, such a great group!

Dr. Moynihan and staff are excellent. All my questions were answered and they made the process as stress free as possible. The results of my rhinoplasty are fantastic! The service for start to finish have been great.

I'm male and in my 20's. Dr. Moynihan helped fix my deviated nose after a traumatic injury.

Looked far and wide all over the country in pursuit of the best possible doctor. After looking through countless reviews, records, and educational backgrounds - it was between George T. Moynihan, Sam P. Most, and James Marotta. Tracked down some former patients from each and at the end of the day decided to go with Moynihan because of what I heard about him.

I got what I wanted. This plastic surgeon promised and delivered on his results. His team ensured a safe and medically secure environment (they were prepared for all sorts of emergencies - one of the reasons why I chose them). Knowing what I know now, I would still choose them to do my rhinoplasty if I could go back in time and do it all over again.

All in all, Dr. Moynihan (Plastic Surgeon) and Dr. Olsen (Anesthesiologist) are a formidable team with decades of experience under their belt. They promise. They deliver. And they have all the equipment ready to go in case worst-case-scenario unexpected medical emergency happens.

I would blindly recommend this clinic to anybody.

My entire experience with Dr. Moynihan and all the staff at Gold Coast Plastic Surgery is A+. I never felt pressured to move forward with anything and always felt supported and that all my concerns were addressed. Susan, Nicole, and all of the surgical staff were also amazing and made me feel so comfortable from my consult all the way through post-op care. I can’t recommend the entire team enough. As far as results, Dr. Moynihan executed everything we discussed and I am thrilled with the results. I am still healing at 6 months and although I read countless information and was told that healing extends beyond 12 months it was still hard to believe that in real life! Be patient with the healing process. (Easier said than done) I’d be happy to chat about my experience with others considering Surgery as it was a hard decision for me to make and I’m glad that I did it!

Dr. Moynihan and his entire team is amazing!!! I am so grateful to have found him! From the moment we had our first consult I could just feel that we were both on the same exact page regarding the goals I had for my nose! He was honest and very confident on what he could achieve and he did not disappoint!

His office is incredible and everyone who works with him is too! Especially Nicole and Susan who practically held my hand through the entire procedure they answered all my questions and were so extremely detailed about the entire procedure.

Recovery was absolutely painless, I took the painkillers the first two nights because I was scared I would get pain during the night but there really wasn’t any (just as Dr. Moynihan had expressed). Within a week my cast came off and 2 weeks later I was out seeing friends and family.

I’m three weeks out and my swelling has gone down significantly and I am more and more in love with my nose every single day!
